The Muppets hold a special place in my heart. My favorite show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Muppet*Vision 3D. I grew up watching Muppet Babies and, when I was older, the Muppets. (Have I mentioned how happy I am that Muppet Babies have been brought back on Disney Jr.?)

The Cast of “Dumbo” Gives Insight to Working with Tim Burton

By

February 8, 2019

After his impression on movies like “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Alice in Wonderland”, Tim Burton has gained the wonderful reputation of being imaginative and magnificent as a director. His esteem was confirmed when the cast of the upcoming film, “Dumbo” had a few words to say about him.

In the movie, Colin Farrell plays veteran Holt Farrier who returns to the circus from the war as a single father unequipped to deal with parenthood and the changes of the circus industry. When asked why he took the role, Farrell said, “ I’ve been such a fan of Tim’s work for the longest time. The idea of [acting in] something as sweet and fantastical and otherworldly, while being grounded in some recognizable world that we can relate to, under the direction of Tim, was a dream … I’ve always been looking for something of that ilk.”

Max Medici, played by Danny Devito, runs the circus in “Dumbo”. Here’s Devito’s take on working with Burton – “He’s just really wonderful to work with. He’s deeply kind, he’s so invested. To watch him on the set, and how engaged he is, and how frenetic at times his energy can be, and how he moves. It’s just a joy, and he’s just really kind to everyone.”

Devito has worked with Tim Burton several times before in films like “Batman Returns” and “Big Fish”. He spoke very highly of their relationship when he stated, “I get emotional thinking about how much I care about him. Always spirited, always an artist, always thinking about the craft, always painting with his mind. I feel like I’m part of some kind of palette, a color scheme, in Kandinsky’s world. You see him work.”

Joseph Gatt, who plays Neils Skellig in the film, had some kind words to say also: “I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a director that cares about everything so much. He cares so much about the actors being comfortable in what they’re doing and feeling safe, and he’s put together such a great cast. We’re all just playing. It feels like there’s no pressure on set.”

After hearing from the cast, it sounds like “Dumbo” is going to be just as magnificent as Tim Burton himself. The new movie hits theaters on March 29th!

Chris Pratt Confirms Marvel Will Use James Gunn’s Script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

By

February 8, 2019

Chris Pratt Confirms Marvel Will Use James Gunn’s Script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. During a recent interview, Chris Pratt has confirmed that the script penned by James Gunn, will still be used for the filming of Guadians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Marvel Studios fired James Gunn in 2018 after a series of his tweets, written in poor taste, resurfaced on twitter causing months of debate online. Some fans stood by Gunn since he had publicly apologized for his previous use of speech from before he had “matured” and expanded his mind to think more about what he is saying rather than knee jerk reactions or responses. Other fans believe the firing was justifiable since Disney tends to keep a publicly clean profile. Marvel ultimately decided to relieve Gunn of his position in Marvel Studios and they have been searching for a new director ever since.

You can listen to what Chris had to say during his interview with MTV.

Chris Pratt (@prattprattpratt) confirms #Guardians3 is moving forward without director James Gunn but working off Gunn's script pic.twitter.com/vjg3ZPzaNr

— MTV NEWS (@MTVNEWS) February 7, 2019

When asked if he had read the script, Pratt stated:”Yeah I have. It’s off the chain. It’s so good. It’s SO good.” We always knew he was a punny guys, but Chris referred to the script as “Off the Chain” which is the title of one of the featured songs from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Very funny, Chris. I definitely chuckled at that one.

Chris was also asked about how he felt doing Guardians without James as the director. “Well… I love James. I’m loyal to James and love him so much. And… we’re gonna, we’re gonna deliver the movie, we’re gonna, we’re gonna give the fans what they deserve.” Chris claimed, “And I think it’s in the nature of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” to come together and get the job done. And, uh, that’s what we’ll do.”

While there is still much debate about who will direct, it appears Marvel Studios is impressed enough with Gunn’s work on the script that they will continue moving forward with production for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as planned.

Who do you think would be a great fit to replace Gunn as director for the Guardians of the Galaxy portion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Beauty and the Beast – Live On Stage To Close For Refurbishment

By

Chip and Co Past Writers and Friends

-

February 8, 2019

I have some sad news for all the fans of Beauty and the Beast. Starting on February 24, Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage will be closing for refurbishments. Luckily, this closure will be short-lived. The refurbishment is scheduled through March 9.

Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage is a Broadway-style musical that tells the tale of Belle and the Beast. This show is located on Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The tale as old as time lasts 25 minutes.

Do you or someone in your group love the story of Beauty and the Beast? Here are some suggestions on how to get your fix!

Enchanted Tales with Belle

Enchanted Tales with Belle is located in Magic Kingdom. Lumiere narrates the love story of Belle and the Beast while guests act it out. Did I mention that Belle is present for this? Participants even get a photo op at the end with Belle!

Dinner at Be Our Guest

Here guests can thank the Beast for his hospitality after eating a delicious dinner in his castle. If you eat here, make sure to try the gray stuff – I hear it is delicious!

Character Meet and Greet with Belle

The France Pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase is where you will find Belle. Be sure to check the Times Guide so you know when she is available.

Character Meet and Greet with Gaston

Gaston can be found at Magic Kingdom. This is definitely a ‘must-do’ experience!

Festival of Fantasy Parade

Both Belle and the Beast are in the daily Festival of Fantasy Parade in the Magic Kingdom.

If you will be unable to visit any of the other theme parks, there are still plenty of shows that can be found at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. These include:

Voyage of the Little Mermaid
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple
Disney Jr. Dance Party

Luckily, Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage will be back before the last rose petal falls!

Throw The Perfect Minnie Mouse Inspired Party

February 8, 2019

Do you have a little one who’s obsessed with Minnie Mouse? Maybe you love Minnie and want to show your adoration of the queen of polka dots? What better way to celebrate than with a Minnie Mouse inspired party!

You can turn just about anything in the shape of a circle into a Minnie inspired treat or decoration. All you need is a little imagination and plenty of polka dots!

These Minnie Mouse inspired invitations are the perfect way to let guests know about your party. A few stickers and a cut out Minnie Tsum Tsum, and you’re ready to go!

These Minnie Milk and Cookie treats are perfect for your guests to nibble on when they arrive. Simply bake any kind of cookie you’d like in a Mickey shape, add your favorite colored bow and poke a hole in the center for a paper straw. When it’s party time, serve the cookies with their own glass of milk.

‘Fairy Bread’ snacks are perfect to make ahead for guests wanting a sweet treat. Or you could turn them into a DIY activity and have guests customize their bread shape, spread, and toppings! Some fun options would be Nutella, Peanut Butter or Sun Butter! Yum!

How about an edible display for your snack table? You can construct your own donut tower in the shape of Minnie Mouse. Just use three flat styrofoam disks and toothpicks to secure the donut holes. Easy peasy!

Let your guests know they are in the right place and ready for a party, with a Minnie Mouse inspired wreath for your front door. All you need is:

Floral wire
3 metal macrame hoops (1 large, 2 small)
Hot glue
Faux flowers
Red and white polka dot ribbon
Scissors

Attach the two smaller rings to the larger one using the floral wire. Then attach the silk flowers with hot glue or floral tape along one side of the large ring. Hot glue a bow in the ribbon of your choice to the top for Minnie’s signature look. You can even add a Tsum Tsum for a little bit of whimsy.

You could even keep with wreath up all Spring to celebrate your love of Minnie and all things Disney related!
