John Ramirez, a Disney artist and theme park designer, has long been working on his own ideas for Studio Ghibli rides. We’ve featured a few of them, but he’s spent the last few years working on a lot more.
Yesterday, the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs voted to approve a controversial new copyright directive that, if made into law, could change the internet as we know it. Just one of the many potential terrible results of the directive, which tasks companies to monitor user-submitted content for…
There’s a new Star Wars out, have you seen it yet? It’s more likely than ever that the answer is “no.” Solo: A Star Wars Story, the origin tale of everyone’s favorite stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder, has been struggling hard at the box office since its release on May 25.
It often feels like the way movies are promoted in Japan are...peculiar. But Japanese moviegoers do complain about how posters are changed for their market. The same goes for commercials.
Pop star Utada Hikaru has become synonymous with Kingdom Hearts. It wouldn’t be a main entry in the series without her music.
Joining the likes of Toy Story, Monster Inc. is also coming to Kingdom Hearts III, a game that is still scheduled to come out this year. Oh good.
Star Butterfly, the titular character of Star vs The Forces of Evil, is a perfect princess for a show that’s filled with rainbows and magic. Don’t be fooled, however, as this modern heroine is anything but the delicate pushover her name implies.
Here’s Sledgehammer Cosplay with about as perfect a Maui as we’re ever going to get, short of some guy actually tattooing his entire body with cute lil’ Disney images.
Mingjue Helen Chen is a Disney artist who has worked on movies like Wreck-It-Ralph and Big Hero 6. Here, though, is her shot at Final Fantasy XIII, part of a show on now at the Nucleus Gallery in LA.
Currently, there are two Tokyo Disney parks: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Construction for a third park could start in 2025. The theme might be “Japan.”
Gazillion, the studio behind the embattled Marvel Heroes, has apparently been shut down today, with all staff laid off the day before Thanksgiving. As a result the game will also be closing early; originally due to end in December, it’ll now cease operations on Friday.
Now that the two canceled Avengers Alliance games are a distant memory, FoxNext Games and Marvel Entertainment unveil Marvel Strike Force, a squad based mobile RPG in which players battle it out with collectible heroes and villains from the comics, due out in early 2018. How long you think this one will last?
Today, Marvel (under Disney) said that it is ending its relationship with Gazillion Entertainment, who makes Marvel Heroes. In an e-mail, a Marvel representative wrote:
Cars 2 was not a classic film. It was unfocused and a bit too dependent on plot rather than characters. But it was a solid film. It had great action set pieces and ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ humor. And it doesn’t deserve the death by omission it is currently enduring.
Around the same time Epic Mickey was being promoted, a group of developers had an idea for another Disney game. Called Project Goliath, the game would have featured a large gorilla that served as a protector of children.

Compare the release schedule of 2017 to that of 2007 and one of the biggest differences you’d see is the almost complete disappearance of licensed games for kids. Where once movies and TV shows would see average (at best) cash-ins released on PlayStation and Xbox, today they land on mobile, and are even worse. But…
The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The attraction has a timeless appeal, and its greatest strength was its lack of storyline. But then, Disney added Jack Sparrow to the ride in 2006. Sparrow’s inclusion, and the intrusive manner in which it was done, detracts from…
There’s a new Star Wars game out on mobile today, and it doesn’t involve collecting characters, buying things in order to unlock characters or forming a party of collectible characters. At this point a match-three game like Star Wars: Puzzle Droids is kind of refreshing.
