Marvel released a first trailer for the awaited Dr Strange movie, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton and many more. And, boy, this looks really, really good. I, personally, am awaiting this movie more than any other superheroes movie as i'm a big Fan of Benedict Cumberbatch and Dr Strange and i hope you'll find this trailer as promising as i do.
Here is the synopsis, and of course the trailer below: "After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant and conceited surgeon gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer takes him under his wing and trains him to defend the world against evil."
Disneyland Paris celebrates its 24th Anniversary today April and here is a great article to celebrate this new anniversary! We'll go back in time to see how it all began thanks to a series of rare videos, mostly aired on french TV during DLP opening years, and even before! 12 This first video shows what was probably "the" most important moment for the creation of Disneyland Paris, i.e the signature of the agrement between the WDC and the French government, back in 1987! Note that on most of the videos language is in french only, although the four videos of DLP opening celebration is the english show. Also note that all videos will start automatically when you access this page, and i didn't found the way to stop this automatic start. The best is to stop each video and then to go back at the start of this article to watch them one by one. Once the agreement was signed, it was time to build the park, and that's precisely what the next video will show you! The next video below will show you the park one year before opening date, as filmed on April 11, 1991. Bob Fitzpatrick who has been Eurodisney first CEO is interviewed. This next video will show you the celebration for the unveil of DLP Sleeping Beauty Castle which happened in 1991, six months before April 1992 opening. Rare shots of the park still not yet finished and of course of the celebration itself with 2000 guests and 1000 medias from all over Europe. Next two videos shows the park grand opening celebration on April 12, 1992, and these videos are the english show, so with english language! Two years later in 1994, as you'll see on this next rare video, François Miterrand - President of France - and George Bush Senior came to visit the park, had dinner in one of the restaurants and watched the parade. But one year before, in 1993, George Lucas was at DLP for the opening of the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril in Adventureland. 1995 was a year like DLP never had one again with the opening and tremendous success of Space Mountain at Disocveryland. Here is a video of its grand opening! The next news video below shows the park 5th Anniversary with Barbara Hendricks herself singing a Happy Birthday to DLP! DLP early years were also the times when Michael Jackson was personna grata in the park, staying in the biggest suite of Disneyland Paris hotel, facing the park. Hundred of fans were coming each day in the hope to see him at the suite balcony. Disneyland Paris, back in 1997, included also hundred of animals and Lionel Carambot was the one at that time who was in charge of them. Here is an interview of him. In 2002 DLP second gate, the Walt Disney Studios, opened and the grand opening celebration included the "Nuit d'Etoiles" show, which was absolutely perfect, from the choice of music themes to the dancers, it was real Hollywood that opening night and probably the most exhilarating show the WDS ever had, unfortunately for one night only - thanks God, i was there! Last but not least with this news video for the opening of the Tower of Terror at the Walt Disney Studios in 2008.
Let's wish again a great 24th anniversary to DLP and can't wait for the end of the park renovations to see it again in its opening days beauty. I remind you that, to

A Jurassic World exhibition started recently in Melbourne, Australia and, wow, the exhibit include among others two of the best Audio-Animatronic dinosaurs i've ever seen. And one of them is the "bad guy" from Jurassic World, the genetically created super dangerous dinosaur that id don't remember the name here. Definitely don't miss this sequence as not only its Audio-Animatronic is "WDI at its best" quality, but also because the AA is WALKING. That's right, they've found a way to have this giant beast walking on a few meters for a special scene with a truck. Extremely impressive AA and i wonder what the hell they're waiting for to include it in Jurassic Park at Universal Studios...
There is too another dinosaur which is not-to-be-missed, it seems to me to be a Therizinausaurus with huge claws - which by the way is a species which was include in the Dinosaur attraction project that Jeff Burke and I had designed in 2003 and that you can read HERE. The Audio-Animatronic of this dino is also very impressive as you'll see in the video.
Last but not least, the expo of course have a merchandise shop and even the shop include an awesome T-Rex Audio-Animatronic, and that's probably a first!
Below, the expo official presentation from the expo website HERE.
"Based on one of the biggest blockbusters in cinema history, the exhibition is inspired by scenes from the beloved film. Now the park that was only a promise comes to life… right before your eyes! Travel to Isla Nublar as a VIP guest and explore Jurassic World. Come face-to-face with a Pachyrhinosaurus; visit The Hammond Creation Lab; stare in wonder at a towering Brachiosaurus; get a rare up-close look at the most vicious dinosaur of them all, Tyrannosaurus rex; and learn all about top-secret projects currently in development.
Created in close collaboration with renowned paleontologist Jack Horner, the Exhibition is infused with interactive educational elements—drawn from the real-world science of dinosaur DNA that allowed Jurassic World to come to life. Visitors of all ages can now learn all about these incredible prehistoric creatures. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring journey into Jurassic World: The Exhibition. The world premiere event debuts in Melbourne on 19 March 2016, and the Exhibition runs for a limited time only.

Here we go for the D&M Shanghaî Disneyland week-end update and I've got an awesome aerial video for you, posted by Youtuber D.Ryan Newark. Don't know if he is the one who filmed it but whoever did it we need to thank him or them as we've got at last a perfect aerial "crystal clear" video with accurate colors - although a slightly bit saturated. And this time you'll see areas of the park not visible in others videos, like Adventure Isle. The video would have been a bit slowdown it would have been 100% perfect, but it was obviously filmed in 4K and that's probably why the footage has such a quality.
As you'll see in the video, rides are in test mode, elephants of the Dumbo ride are flying and the rafts of Roaring Rapids go down the rapids! Nuff' said, here is the video!
With a video as good as that no need to say that i did fantastic HD screen captures for you - don't hesitate to click on each to see them in larger size! All screen caps are in order of the scenes in the video.
At last, some aerial footage over Adventure Isle and Roaring Rapids! The land behind it that you'll see on the second picture below is the land kept for SDL second park, to be build in ten years or so if everything works well with the first one.
Behind Roaring Rapids, the show buildings for the Tarzan show ( left ) and Soarin' Over the Horizon ( right ).
A closer look at Treasure Cove.
There's something really interesting in this new SDL video and it is - in addition of these stunning views of the park - the areas where there is ...nothing! For instance, on the picture below the land behind Adventure Isle, in the background, is where will be built the second park. But there is something else interesting on this picture, and it is the land which is on the right of Adventure Isle, between Aventure Isle and the lake on the first picture below or on the top of the second picture. There is a huge piece of land there, probably as big as Adventure Isle which mean enough space to build a "medium size land". You'll note that the ground seems even ready for construction. In fact it's a bit more complicated. Until recently dozens of workers houses were there, and now they've removed almost all of them. Meaning that if the land looks cleared it's in fact because the workers houses which were on it are now gone and not necessarily that they've prepared the land for a future park addition coming soon. And it won't be necessarily a new land as i remember a hotel was envisioned to be built there... That said, the day they'll want to build anything on this land, the ground will be ready.
And that's it for this Shanghaî Disneyland week-end update! I'm sure you're joining me to thanks whoever filmed this video for its quality, and i'll meet you next week for a new SDL update!
Folks, Lucasfilm has released the first teaser - trailer for Rogue One : A Star Wars Story and it ( almost ) looks like a new Star Wars trailer! Directed by Gareth Edwards, action happen shortly before the one of Star Wars Episode 4 and it tells the story of a group of rebels who set out a mission to steal the plans of the Death Star. So, there we go, back again in Star Wars with a new hype starting today and which will grow until Rogue One release next December! Trailer and screen captures below!
Here we go for a new Shanghaî Disneyland update thanks to new pictures posted on Chinese Weibo website and Instagram. The first picture above is a great one showing Enchanted storybook Castle from the back in a clear blue day. As you can see behind the Gardens of Imagination are on the way to be completed. below, two others great shots of the castle.
Right in front of the back of the castle - if i can say - is the Voyage to the Crystal Grotto boat ride, and here is a picture of its lagoon.
The first scene of the boat ride that SDL guests will see is a Beauty and the Beast scene...
Another scene shows Aladdin genie surrounded by tons of gold!
And another scene is a Little Mermaid scene...
Always in Fantasyland, the Seven Dwarfs Mine train...
Trains are already running in test mode!
In the back of Fantasyland Winnie's Hunny Pots will replace Alice tea cups.
And that's it for today's Shanghaî Disneyland update, see you soon for a new update!
