Disney released some information about the upcoming blockbuster movies that are coming out for 2014 and the products that consumers will be able to purchase to go along with those movies at the Disney Consumer product New York Toy Fair Expo. This was a closed presentation by invite only and Chip and Company was one of the few privileged attendees.
Along with three new movies Disney will also be releasing a new animated series on Disney XD this fall, Star Wars Rebels featuring the voice of Freddie Prince Jr. as Kanan. This series will take over where Star Wars the Clone Wars took off. The series will start out with an hour long premiere this fall before on The Disney Channel before becoming a regular series in the fall of 2014 on Disney XD.
The first movie we were given a glimpse of is the new Disney Planes Fire & Rescue. Dane cook will be the voice of Dusty the crop plane. This movie will appeal to adults as well as children with many grown up “zingers” thrown in that will have you chuckling. Disney Planes Fire & Rescue will be out in July 2014 for the summer movie crunch. I know I am looking forward to seeing it at theater with my children.
Next up was The Amazing Spider-man 2. After a short trailer we saw some action figures from the new movie and then a young boy who stars in the movie Jorge Vegas came out and sprayed the presenter with what looked like silly string from a new gun that will be sold on the market from the movie. After that Andrew Garfield who plays Peter Parker came on stage with Jorge. It appears as if they had a blast filming and get along great. Jamie Fox will also play the villain named Electro. The Amazing Spider-man 2 will be coming to theaters on May 2, 2014.
The final movie presented was Guardians of the Galaxy which is a Marvel Superheroes movie. This is an entirely new Marvel Avengers concept and features a space saga complete with a mercenary raccoon that talks with the voice of Bradley Cooper. The star will be Peter Quill played by Chris Pratt. It is expected to hit theaters on August 1, 2014 and is going to take Marvel Avengers fans on a sci-fi fantasy trip while still being Super Heroes. Think of it as Star Wars meets the Avengers.
Disney is surely stepping up its game of consumer products with all the bells and whistles all of these toys had. Working lights, moving parts, nerf gun blasters, silly string gun blasters. The action figures are more true to the characters then any I have seen before and some even have the actors voice saying phrases from the movies. All in all though for the details the prices weren’t as bad as I expected. Most of the action figures appeared to be $19.99 and the guns were reasonably priced also. The Lego sets of course were on the pricier side most at $79.99 or above and some of the ships from Star Wars Rebels also were that expensive.
All in all it looks like Disney has some amazing things coming out for 2014; Three great movies, a new animated Star Wars series and new toys. Really, there is something for almost everyone. I know my family and I will be looking forward to the movie releases and some of the products that will be out on the market. It was great to get a sneak peak at everything.
