No more Disney Princesses?

December 9, 2010

Lenore Skenazy: Disney and fairy tales parting ways – SGVTribune.com OK, Whose bright idea was it to hose down the world with a good, lethal dose of Princess-B-Gone? I think the reason “The Princess And The Frog” didn’t do well is because Disney shied away from truly marketing it in an all-out way.  After a few people lobbed accusations of race insensitivity their way, they kept it kind of low key.  That was pretty...

I was reading Billboard on Facebook and there was an article about Reese Witherspoon getting ready to play the title role in a new biographical film about the life of Peggy Lee. Betwixt and between the claims that Witherspoon will either tank or win an Oscar, someone asked, “Who is Peggy Lee?” *collective gasp is heard amongst the online Disney community* Quickly, a few of us...

Disney Featured on This American Life

This week’s episode of the popular NPR (National Public Radio) show This American Life is rife with references to Disney. Promised Land | This American Life PROLOGUE Host Ira Glass expounds upon the phenomenon of the “I wish” song, an essential component of Disney musicals.

5 Ways Disney has defiled Tinkerbell

© Copyright 2010 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Click the photos to see if a larger version is available in Flickr I am pretty much a Tinkerbell purist. With the exception of my “Mornings aren’t magical” coffee mug, I am generally a devotee of the original shot-glass sized Tink from the original 1953 classic film Peter Pan. Whenever I’ve purchased Tinkabilia, which has been frequent as you can imagine, I’ve stuck with classic Tink, whose magical...

Whatever the case, I never heard of these Disney Farm Fresh Eggs until I stumbled across a discussion about them on BlogCatalog this evening. It seems...

Disneyland, Disneyworld – what’s the difference?

© Copyright 2010 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Here’s a fun little slide show from National Geographic, which depicts four Disney park attractions side-by-side with Imagineering’s inspiration for each. Geography of Disneyland — National Geographic Education. Cute, informative little gallery, and I love National Geographic – but I have a problem when they call their article, “Geography of DisneyLAND” and then lead off with the castle at Disney WORLD. At least they identified the correct location...

Disney ADRs – are you a fan or a foe?

Disney ADRs – are you a fan or a foe?

© Copyright 2010 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Let’s talk about one of my “favorite” (NOT) Disney subjects – ADRs! For those who are acronyminally challenged (like me!), this means “Advanced Dining Reservations”. I would agree that one should expect crowds during a holiday and therefore it would be prudent to secure reservations for sit-down dining well in advance.
