"Walt Disney's name is going to be on this. Aim high." - John Lasseter regarding his approach to head WDAS

That's why I really like Lassetter. He, like Walt and some others before, knows what it takes to run a successful company while still being creative in the process.

Shakira to provide a song + voice for a gazelle in Zootopia. She's the biggest popstar in Zootopia. Interesting choice. I wonder what kind of song it is.

Lassetter also confirmed WDAS is making GIGANTIC (previously Giants) based on Jack and the Beanstalk. The film opens in 2018.

EDIT: Gigantic will feature songs by the same duo who brought you Let it Go.

From **************, interesting videos from the Avatar Exhibit.

Here's one explaining how it relates to Earth, Rohde spinning it to work with DAK. Introducing an Eco Tourism Company known as ACE. Reminds me of this one other tourism company through the cosmos, was it Star Tours?

So this whole thing is a vacation package, taking you to Pandora. Interesting. The military facilities seen are old ones belonging to the evil humans from the movie, and now they've been converted to ACE.

Nice cameo to horizons (could possibly what you're thinking of). I think their approach with avatar is smart and I think is going to ultimately help make it successful

I want to use all the expletives right now knowing that all those people at the film panel got to see Emma Watson as Belle. I couldn't care less about the film, I'm sick of all the live-action remakes, but still.

Me too! Everyone is saying that she looks stunning... no surprise there...

This whole thing is actually making me quite mad to know that D23 was originally supposed to go back and forth between the coasts. Orange County Convention Center is actually 3 times as big as ACC thanks to the three different concourses. And, I was JUST at ACC for VidCon a couple of weeks ago. Looks like I need to plan to head back for next year's con.

Agreed. I am for sure going to hit up the next D23 in 2017. It would just be icing on the cake if it was in FL vs CA.

Not much about Moana so far. They've shown some footage, The Rock appeared... a few details we didn't know. There is an impressive lava monster... Moana has a pigglet sidekick (of course) named Púa. Apparently, the ocean itself is pretty impressive and lively. They have a team that makes sure everything is as historically accurate as possible. It's a music-heavy film, and the music will have lots of South Pacific influences. There is a clip that was shown and that could be considered a BIG spoiler, so I won't mention that.

Yeah, I could have gone without them telling us that....

I'm definitely excited for a music heavy south pacific visual stunner.
