At D23Expo in 2011, it was both. He started out as the freeform talking Mickey, but shortly thereafter was changed to the soundboard Mickey. Unfortunately the differences are quite obvious. In freeform he would readily ask someone where they live for example and actually respond directly to what...

There's no time issue. Mike Wazowski (and others I presume) still went to Monsters University, regardless of the Monsters Inc. philosophy change. It's my understanding that the show itself isn't being altered, but that they'll just reference Monsters University in jokes as much as they can...

there's also the other article which talks about the AquaDuck and other attractions/changes coming to the Disney Magic which will be part of the event's announcements.

just some silly speculation from March for what little it's worth... http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-disneyland-shanghais-animal-kingdom-calltoaction-giant-pandas-orlando-15169

This is true. Which would actually be the point. It doesn't mean that it WILL happen, it means that the thought has entered someone's head. What's more important here is that it's WDPRO that it's registered to, who handles DVC's internet presence. That means the right business unit is performing...

part of me wants to agree with you, but the larger part of me says well, if this level of detail is being paid to something as blase as a snack cart, imagine what they're doing with the things people are paying to see. but it's not just about the one cart, it's about the overall mentality that...

For me, this pretty much started with The Pirates League. If you've never taken a peek inside it, you're in for a serious treat. I think Alex Caruthers, the art director for MK, deserves a huge amount of credit for the direction new elements have taken. Disneyland's magic can be translated into...

with all due respect, it's a bad example. because there aren't 30 different patents for FASTPASS, there are only a couple (and one of them was just approved after about 8 years too). yes, the FASTPASS patent contains more options than are currently in use, but that's one of the objectives of a...

the patent *application* was just submitted a few days ago. things take time. obviously it meant something to someone if they designed the system, invented prototypes (which is required for a patent application), drafted a patent application and paid money to submit it for approval.

why haven't they done anything? they designed, invented and patented a whole system for it. but I digress.

I understand your numbers have no basis in reality, but what you're failing to understand is that it's not a loss of pennies if someone re-uses a mug, it's a loss of dollars because it's one less mug sold. pennies may not hurt the bottom line, but it certainly has a strong effect on potential...

you absolutely would. if you're suggesting someone bringing back an old mug is costing the company $.01 because of it, the company now has a HUGE justification for turning around and charging that person $13.

When we operate under the assumption that Disney is in fact getting the syrup for free, we simply mean there is no money being handed over for it. Coke is otherwise getting something that most companies have to pay for: heavy product placement. There is a tangible cost and it's simply a means of...

it's a single individual. you need to think four-dimensionally. yes, the articulated heads in the stage show are manipulated by the performer and, despite them actively trying to hide their hands as much as possible, it is more or less obvious how it's done. puppeteering 101. however, there...

it's not his voice, but i do have samples of his Disney art and such I took the liberty of posting at http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/bret-iwan

after doing some research, what I can offer right now is that he did in fact go out to Disney Character Voices in April 2009 and I believe he moved to LA in August. and for those of you playing along at home, that would be before Wayne passed (that is, visiting DCV)

it's Iwan (the studios site has him named both ways, obviously Iwam is a typo). best I can tell the story broke because someone from Laughing Place attended the new Feld Entertainment Disney on Ice show which listed him as a voice talent and it led from there. he also appears to be an...

my initial thought on it was.. well, you just spent $16 on a magazine. do you REALLY want to know? of course there's some serious markup on a cover price, but that's $64 in magazines alone at newsstand price. plus the pins. i have a feeling whatever membership costs (and from what Iger said...

For those interested, I was able to obtain a couple of copies of the magazine. Posted a full article-by-article review (some photos, very minimal spoilers) http://www.stitchkingdom.com/tag/d23

in that context, i don't think he was referring to D23 specifically. he was looking at long term strategies, both with selling disney movies digitally as well as making disney.com a retail marketplace across the board. he did mention the potential of a 'movie subscription club' but that was all...
