Disney/Pixar To Move Forward With ‘Ant-Man’ Movie
Article from G4
It appears that the Marvel Movie Universe just grew (or shrunk, depending on your point of view.) According to a recent blurb by Entertainment Weekly, the long-awaited superhero solo film starring Henry Pym or Ant-Man (among other aliases), perhaps the most unsung of the Avengers founding members, will indeed be moving forward. Shaun of the Dead director, Edgar Wright has already been attached to direct. (Which has been known for some time, now.) The statement by EW that has created this firestorm across the news sites read: “Pixar is said to already be eyeballing an Ant-Man movie.”

Luxo sues over sale of Luxo Jr. lamp with ‘Up’ Blu-ray disc
Luxo lawsuit article from the LA Time.
The Norwegian company says the sale of the limited-edition lamps based on the character in a 1986 animated film by Pixar’s founder will cause ‘devastating damage.’
Luxo Jr., the squeaky desk-lamp character created by animation guru John Lasseter 23 years ago, is in the spotlight again — under the glare of a transatlantic lawsuit.
The hopping swivel lamp has been a corporate mascot for Pixar Animation Studios since its founder created the character in 1986 for a short computer-animated movie that was nominated for an Academy Award. Lasseter was said to have based the character on his own Luxo lamp.
Norwegian lamp maker Luxo filed a lawsuit Thursday in federal court in New York accusing Pixar and parent Walt Disney Co. of infringing its copyright by selling a limited-edition Luxo Jr. lamp packaged with a Blu-ray version of the Disney/Pixar movie “Up.”
Luxo said in the suit that the sale of the Pixar lamps would “cause devastating damage to Luxo.”
A spokesman for Disney said the company hadn’t seen the complaint and couldn’t comment.

Deltona man accused of sex assault on 12-year-old at Disney World
Article from the Orlando Sentinel:
A 29-year-old Volusia County man was behind bars Sunday after being arrested on sex offense charges involving a then 12-year-old girl at Disney World‘s Fort Wilderness.
Jean C. Garcia of Deltona was arrested at Disney World shortly before midnight Thursday, said Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Solomons.
Apparently the girl met the man she only knew as “Junior” at a pool at the resort.
The alleged assault happened at a laundry room facility.
The youth, who is now 13, told a family member about the incident in June after she believed that she might be pregnant.
Authorities arrested Garcia as he drove from his home to Disney for what he thought was going to be a meeting with the child, Solomons said, but the message for the meeting was arranged by law enforcement officers.
Orange County jail records show that Garcia has been charged with sexual battery and lewd or lascivious battery.
He is currently held with no bond allowed.
No other information about Garcia or this case was available Sunday night.
