Disney World is the greatest place on earth. There's tons of awesome rides, even more awesome Disney characters walking around and enough sugary treats to seriously damage our health. But who cares! There's something about the magical park that makes adults act like kids and kids go wild with excitement, and the latter is particularly true.

Last weekend as Sandy prepared to wreak havoc along eastern seaboard, the numbers at the box office were down significantly. This weekend the numbers were up, and Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” took the top spot in ticket sales.

Ever since news broke that Disney purchased Lucasfilm, AKA the 'Star Wars' franchise, tons of Disney-meets-Star-Wars art has hit the net. It's not only really cool, the art also helps us to picture what it'll be like when the sci-fi franchise is immersed in cartoon land.

It was announced yesterday that Disney purchased Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries for $4 billion, with plans to release the first movie ('Star Wars: Episode 7') in a new planned 'Star Wars' trilogy in 2015. Although the additional news that these films will be based on an original story and not on any of the spin-off book series like fans were hoping, we are reportedly still in for an exciting ride.

According to author Dale Pollock, who wrote a biography on filmmaker George Lucas, the upcoming 'Star Wars' trilogy from Disney will be the most exciting 'Star Wars' films yet.

Nick Romano — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:14:58 +0000

'Oz: The Great and Powerful' is one of the most anticipated movies of 2013. Where 'The Wizard of Oz' introduced the movie-loving world to Dorothy, the book turned Broadway musical 'Wicked' centered on the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, this new look at the Land of Oz gives us a look at the man we all know as the Wizard (whose real name apparently is Oscar Diggs). But that doesn't mean the other classic characters don't play a crucial part.

We've already got a look at the first official movie poster and the first teaser trailer, and now a new look at the latest re-imagining of one of the wickedest of witches has come forth in an artful movie poster form. But who exactly are we looking?

The Best Meme Reactions to Disney's Lucasfilm Acquisition

Emerald Catron — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:18:40 +0000

In case you missed it -- Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars. They also own Marvel now too. To put it in other words, all that stuff you liked as a kid to prove you're not a girl is now owned by the people who made 'Beauty and the Beast.' (On the bright side, the next 'Kingdom Hearts' game could be totally sick.) Of course, not everybody is looking on the bright side. Some of them are making memes. Here are our favorites.

The Best Disney / Star Wars Mash-Up Art

TheFW Staff — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:29:12 +0000

The geekosphere was rocked today with the announcement that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, the home of 'Star Wars,' for $4 billion. If that wasn't enough to inspire "Goofy shot first" jokes, Disney also announced plans to release a new 'Star Wars' movie in 2015 which will not be written or directed by George Lucas. (The creator fans love to hate will stay on in a creative consultant capacity.)

But fans of both "a galaxy far, far away" and The Mouse House have been creating awesome mash-up artwork as long as the internet (or at least DeviantArt) has been around.

'Iron Man 3′ Plot Synopsis Revealed

Nick Romano — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:38:23 +0000

The folks behind 'Iron Man 3' are killing us with all the teases for the upcoming 'Iron Man 3' trailer, which is said to be released this month once they get enough followers on their official Facebook Page. But while we're waiting for the number to go up (by the way, last time we checked, the percent was only at 33% and it needs to be 100%), how about a read at the plot synopsis?

Disney Concept Art – See How Your Favorite Characters Almost Looked

Matthew Roulette — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:59:45 +0000

As we showed in our lost Disney songs list, no Disney film is set in stone from start to finish. Plots get written, songs get dropped and characters get redesigned. Looking at early Disney concept art is like finally reading that novel that your favorite movie was based on only to discover it's totally different. Still, there's a simple charm in seeing these characters immediately after being birthed, before they were fine tuned, polished and marketed through endless merchandise.

The singing dads in this video have clearly each raised at least one ‘The Little Mermaid’ fan. Otherwise, how would all the words to the Â movie’s classic song ‘Part of Your World’ come so easily to them? Being a father means you’re going to end up seeing a lot of movies you wouldn’t otherwise put [...]

See What Would Happen If Disney Villains Won

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:45:32 +0000

Artist and Mouse House fan Justin McTwisp thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if the bad guys won at the end of a few Disney movies. We have to admit, that's a pretty banging coat Cruella DeVille winds up with (except for the whole puppy thing). And, truth be told, the fairies in 'Sleeping Beauty' *were* a little annoying. Check out our favorites below and check out the rest of McTwisp's art here.

If there’s one thing you definitely don’t want to do, it’s piss off a mob of angry Beliebers. Disney learned the sting of the backlash firsthand when they jokingly called Justin Bieber a girl on a show recently, which sent his fans into a wave of rage, boycotting the station.

Alanna Conaway — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:00:24 +0000

Last year at this time, Demi Lovato was in the midst of her stay at an Illinois treatment center for an eating disorder.
