BRAVE (In Disney Digital 3D™) DISNEY•PIXAR Website & Mobile site: Disney.com/Brave Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/PixarBrave Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/disneypixar Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. From Disney and Pixar, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition and challenges destiny to change her fate. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor that audiences of all ages around the world have come to eagerly expect. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late. Official Brave Website: http://disney.com/Brave

From our trip to WDW and DAK in 2011, these are the "best of" pics from that day.

From Boxoffice Magazine 1/6/69 The Love Bug on IMDb

From Boxoffice Magazine , January 6, 1940. The first article announces the soon to be opened Walt Disney Co. Burbank Studios. In the second, Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is sited as one of the factors in a surge of animated features going into production. Click on the images to enlarge. And in related news...

On our second trip to WDW and DAK in 2010, I was able to take more photos 'cause Maddy needed less hand-holding. Here are the "best of" pics from that day.

Here are more DAK photos. These are from January 2010.

I was looking at Mark Dominy's DAK photos and feeling a little jealous. So here is a re-posting of some of my pics from DAK in 2009.

The following was written in response to my critique of ' The Great Mouse Detective .' TonyWDA Jan 16, 2012 08:00 PM So because your three-year old daughter couldn't sit through a film that wasn't in the usual Disney convention -- something you should've looked into BEFORE watching it with her -- you think it's the worst of the animated feature canon? The Great Mouse Detective was a film made to break away from the traditional Disney fairy-tale formula, so don't judge it for something you wish it was as opposed to what it is: A tale of mystery in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes, NOT Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, told through artwork you should've given more credit for. Especially considering many of the people who'd worked on this film had yet to fully master their crafts. Your apathy towards the film's plot and characters is most likely the result of your disdain for the kind of story it's telling in the first place, so don...

Or maybe Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, or Sealab 2020, or maybe The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteu , or even Stingray with a little bit of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (and a dash of the Thunderbirds) thrown in for good measure. The Octonauts is a Children’s TV Series, produced by Silvergate Media for Cbeebies and animated by Brown Bag Films. The TV series is based on the children’s books written by Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy of Meomi Design Inc. [See more below] This latest offering from Disney Junior, is a fun, flashy, action-adventure pre-school show. The Octonauts are eight explorers who live, work and play aboard their mobile under-sea base the Octopod. Each (very) short episode finds them living their mantra of "Explore, Rescue, Protect." These episodes are tiny science lessons as they introduce the audience to real under-sea creatures and habitats. There's also a catchy wrap-up tune that recaps what they learned about that episodes sea creature, muc...
