News Round Up 2019

I saw him in Hamilton and he was FANTASTIC!!

I still maintain that no one can replace the genius of Robin Williams, but I would have MUCH preferred to see James Monroe Iglehart in that movie!

Fun story... When I worked at the great movie ride, Robin Williams came to park. He was dining at the Brown Derby, jumped up, grabbed a tray and began run around to tables and back to the kitchen pretending to wait tables. Essentially a 10 minute improv that was entertaining and funny to cast members and guests both!

He was an inspired genius. With such a high bar set in Aladdin, it would make sense to pivot in direction. Finger crossed, I’ve never thought Will Smith completely hilarious or brilliant but hoping it so for the movie!

yup fully agree ... give more notice or even have a few of them around the country

D23 sends out a survey every year and I always indicate that my primary suggestion is to release event dates far in advance. Guess they're not listening!

Disney Will Still Make R-Rated Deadpool Movies - But Probably Not In MCU

I think we will eventually see an MCU R-rated movie. They have floated the test balloon on the Black Widow possibly being R Rated.

I doubt we get a teaser today.

Fans and bloggers have been speculating since December when the initial trailer will be released. There was numerous rumors over the weekend that the initial trailer would be out during the super bowl and as we all know, didn't happen.

The rumored title "Balance of the Force" is very interesting. Supposedly this was one of the titles that Lucas considered for Episode I, but he decided to go with "The Phantom Menace".

Disney bought a bunch of air time during the Super Bowl as we know so it wouldve made sense but I think they are saving it for Celebration now.

Heh, i think you're optimistic there. My wife teaches preschool, some of the stories I get from her about her kids and what they'll say or do can still amaze me.

My two year old started saying D*** it this summer, in the right context and everything. DW blamed me, I told her it couldn't have have been me because I only say the worse version of it.

The next school day we talked to her daycare teacher about it and asked her to get her in terrible for using it and the teacher "oh yeah, they all learned that from Max." Got me off the hook with the wifey.

We’re at the World now and they have been filming promos for The Disney Channel every day since Sunday. We’ve seen the kids from Sydney to the Max at MK and DHS. I saw on another board where they were at AK yesterday. We’ve seen them highlight the street party at MK and both Galaxy's Edge and Star Wars fireworks tonight.

My daughter danced with them in Move it! Shake it!

They were recording the Incredibles dance party last Thursday. They kept specifically focusing in on my daughter. I figured they were filming for some type of promo. I didn't really love them filming my daughter without knowing what they were going to use it for, though.

The Incredibles dance party in “Municiberg” is “filmed” every day I believe and shown on the screen in the little area live.

They showed a little bit of it on the screen live, but for large parts of it there was nothing on the screens.

It’s definitely part of the bit. They’re a tv crew and reporter. I doubt any of it is actually recorded. My daughter was “interviewed” about the nom nom cookies on the big screen. The camera man keeps recording because he’s in character even when not showing on the big screen. There’s another live feed camera like that in the Disney Jr dance party.

The production crews we’ve seen are multi camera, lots of people crews in roped off areas.

There's zero chance that Disney would use that type of footage in any sort of advertisement. I get casting notices for Disney's TV commercials and other advertising materials. Everyone appearing in any Disney advertisement is compensated in some manner.
