Disneyland’s 45-foot-tall dragon removed from Fantasmic after weekend incident

This interesting news comes to us from LA Times.

From the start, this dragon seemed to be missing a spark or two.

When Disneyland’s updated version of Fantasmic debuted in June of last year, it had to do so minus Maleficent, the mighty fire-breather from “Sleeping Beauty” that was supposed to be the star of the show.

At the time, rumors flew over what had felled Maleficent, with some observers reporting that the dragon’s head had fallen off during rehearsal. But Disney officials refused to confirm anything more than mechanical trouble.

The 45-foot-tall, 18,000-pound dragon finally debuted in September. But on Monday, the image-conscious officials representing the Happiest Place on Earth confirmed that the dragon was out again, this time indefinitely, after some kind of “technical” problem during Saturday’s show. “

Disney Interactive Studios today announced the release of Camp Rock: The Final Jam for Nintendo DS™. While navigating through story events from the upcoming Disney Channel original movie and jamming to music from both “Camp Rock” movies, the new game takes players on a fun-filled adventure that adds a new level of interactivity to the franchise. In the DS game, players create their own customized avatar and join Mitchie, Shane and other characters as they prepare to go up against the rival Camp Star.

“Camp Rock: The Final Jam provides DS players a new way to enjoy the fun of summer,” said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. “With a great story line and exciting camp rock activities, this game is a perfect addition to the ‘Camp Rock’ experience.”

Camp Rock: The Final Jam takes players on a puzzle and mini-game filled journey through story events based on the movie. Fans will immerse themselves in summer fun as they explore familiar locations and experience camp activities from the movie including a water balloon fight and canoe racing. To prepare for competition, fans rock out to “Camp Rock” songs using their stylus to play drums, bass or rhythm guitar. Players will also use the stylus to tear up the dance floor with cool moves. In addition players will be able to express their style as they customize their avatar with cool clothing and accessories to wear around camp.

Camp Rock: The Final Jam is now available for the Nintendo DS and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.

New Walt Disney Pictures Secretariat Movie Poster

Based on the remarkable true story, “Secretariat” chronicles the spectacular journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father’s Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge.

Against all odds, Chenery—with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)—manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and what may be the greatest racehorse of all time.

Fun Facts:

In 1973, Secretariat became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting race records that still stand today in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes.
Penny Chenery, now 87, is an integral resource in the making of the film. She also appears as an extra in one of the film’s scenes.
In 1973, Secretariat graced the covers of three magazines the same week: Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.
Director Randall Wallace, whose directorial credits include “We Were Soldiers,” is the Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-nominated screenwriter of “Braveheart.”
In 1999, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a 33-cent postage stamp with Secretariat’s image.

Bad people need to feel pretty too.

And now – through a new collection from MAC Cosmetics based on Disney’s villains – even the most evil of you out there can emulate the looks of animated antagonists.

The line will be called Venomous Villains.

Cinematic scoundrels such as Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmations, the Evil Queen from Snow White, Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty and Doctor Facilier from The Princess and the Frog are getting color cosmetic collections set to debut September 30.

Think red lips and peach-hued blushes for Cruella and The Evil Queen, while Doctor Facilier and Maleficent are fashion-forward palettes in purple and black.

Princess/Frog baddie Doc Facilier will also have a Magically Cool Liquid Powder that MAC claims will go on like a mist to set (or enhance) foundation, but can also be used to give naked skin some dimension, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

The line will range between $12 and $30 in price.

The Best Thing I Love about Disney – The Carousel of Progress.

The Best Thing I Love about Disney - The Carousel of Progress.

Call me a nerd: I love the Carousel of Progress. Walt’s last attraction, built for the 1964 World’s Fair, sits in a corner of Tomorrowland and tells the story of the 20th Century through vignettes that take place in the family kitchen. The music is kind of corny (although in the interest of full disclosure, it’s the ringtone on my phone), but the sets are very detailed and accurate. The narration is fun and even though the last scene, which takes place somewhere in the 1990s, is impossibly outdated, it’s still great entertainment. How could you not love a ride that affords you twenty relaxing minutes sitting in blissful air conditioning while listening to silly jokes, a couple of which are unintentionally dirty. Well, if you have the sense of humor of a twelve-year old boy. Which I do.

The Best Thing I Love about Disney - The Carousel of Progress.

The COP isn’t always open all day during slower times of the year and it’s usually closed during special events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. For all the ribbing COP gets, it’s still a much-loved attraction, a part of the history of the park and of the people who visit it. Next time you’re in the park, don’t forget to stop by.
