Pixar's The Good Dinosaur Poster

  

The first poster for Pixar's animated The Good Dinosaur has been leaked and it gives us a good look of Arno the dinosaur character, and of Spot, the young human.  You can find also  another non-official but nice "Good Dinosar" poster - on my D&M Facebook page HERE !

Two New Clips From Disney's Frozen


Disney released two new clips from "Frozen" and not only they're much better than the trailers - except may be the latest one - but they'll give you a better idea of both dramatic or comical scenes from this awaited animated feature.

A Look Inside Thor: "Treasures of Asgard" Opening at Disneyland Innoventions on Nov 1st - With DL Guests Teleported to Asgard For an Audience With Thor!


As i told you in a previous post, on November 1st - just a few days before the release of "Thor: The Dark World" - "Thor : Treasures of Asgard" an interactive experience will open at Disneyland Innoventions! 

Disney Parks released the first pictures of it and i remind you the official storyline: "Astrophysicist Jane Foster, who established a special relationship with Thor, has been studying the “Bifrost,” a cosmic bridge that allows Thor to travel between the Nine Realms, including Earth. She has determined that the Bifrost is set to open again in Southern California and pinpointed the precise location as Innoventions at Disneyland park".



"Inside Innoventions, Foster and her team are preparing for the opening of the Bifrost with the installation of Thor: Treasures of Asgard, a collection of objects brought to Earth straight from Asgard. After viewing the exhibit, you’ll be invited to enter a chamber where the Bifrost will transport you to Asgard for an audience with Thor himself!"

On the pictures above you can see the Asgard room where DL guests will be teleported to meet Thor on his throne - and by the way it will be very interesting to see how WDI wizards will do the teleportation effect - and below, a picture of "the collection of objects brought to Earth straight from Asgard", which probably will be props from the upcoming movie.

Tony Sherg "Minimalist" Disneyland Attractions Posters



Everybody love Disneyland attraction posters and so does illustrator Tony Sherg, living in Orange County, California. And Tony understood that sometime, as would have said Steve Jobs, "less is more". So he designed his own Disneyland attractions posters in a "minimalist" way, and this makes them very different than the one we know from WDI, but personally i think he did a great job.

You'll find below a selection of my favorites and you can see more posters from Tony on his website HERE or on his Facebook page HERE. Click on each to see them in high-res size and let me know which one you prefer! Many thanks to Tony for his kind authorization to post them here, on Disney and more!






















Tony also did iPhone wallpapers of some of his posters, like the "Peter Pan's Flight" one below and you can see them on his website HERE.

When Godzilla was a Marvel Comic book...


As you know a new Godzilla movie will be released next year. Godzilla is the property of japanese Toho Production so just like you i thought that there was no link with Disney. Although there is a link between Toho and Disney and TDL/TDS as Toho did much of the sets and props for both parks under Disney direction, there is one between Disney and Marvel and, guess what, in 1977 Marvel published a Godzilla comic book series and here is a great scan of the No 1 cover issue that sent me a good friend Imagineer!

Disneyland Mr Toad's Wild Ride HD Video


For many, Disneyland's Mr Toad's Wild Ride is the quintessence of a dark ride, and i think they're right. It's also one of the rare rides that were there on DL opening day, and still there.
Now that the ride is extinct at WDW Magic Kingdom, Disneyland is the only place on Earth where you can ride it. We do have a Toad Hall restaurant at DIsneyland Paris, but not the ride itself.

Mr Toad's Wild Ride is known to be difficult to filmed because of both the lighting and the car speed but a usual Theme Park HD did a great video of it, and here it is. Don't forget too to download the high-res attraction poster above as this one is almost impossible to find in good quality. In fact the one above is a recreation exactly like the original attraction poster by Mice Chat member joeyhalderman who did a fantastic job.
