So there's this. From The Associated Press: McDonald’s and Shopify rose following their profit reports, while Super Micro Computer tumbled after its earnings and revenue for the latest quarter came in below analysts’ expectations. Disney fell after its earnings beat forecasts but its revenue...

And thanks to a healthy dose of pixie dust, you really don't care, do you? Who cares if Disney shows an OFFICIAL video ride-through of Tiana's Bayou Disaster with the Tiana AA paralyzed and its eyes crossed? Who cares if the Yeti AA in Expedition Everest has been broken for over a decade and not...

Well, the thing is breaking down already. Here's a link to BlogMickey and a video of the occurrence. I think I'm going to puke. https://blogmickey.com/2025/07/walt-disney-audio-animatronic-breaks-disneyland/

Here's the Walt Disney figure from Orlando's Madame Tussaud's. See, Imagineering? There's no excuse. Maybe hire the sculptor who created this wonderful likeness and fire the hack who desecrated Walt with that hideous ghoulish AA.

My god, you can really see what an utter fail that AA is. It looks NOTHING like Walt. Somebody needs to get fired for this.

I remember renting a DVD of "Bambi" some time ago, and watching the "Special Features" disc. It included a read-through of an actual story meeting (written down by a studio stenographer) wherein Walt and some of his artists discussed the film. The producers of the "Special Features" disc hired...

Walt, in that picture, probably already had cancer, but didn't know it yet.

Eisner bought the Muppets and thus started the whole abysmal trend of buying non-Disney off-studio crap, but overall...yeah, I agree with you. He seemed to genuinely LIKE Disney. Whereas Iger just sees Disney as a brand, and the parks as merchandising hubs. Man I hate that guy.

What turns my stomach is Iger using Walt to prop up his image. Pretending that he actually respects the guy. You can see his actual "respect" for Walt and his legacy of quality and innovation in that AA's terrible off-model face. What a self-inflicted disaster. I'd laugh, but it hurts too much...

That thing looks like Walt Disney like the Trump AA in Hall of Presidents looked like Donald Trump the first go-round. 🤮 (And the Obama AA always looked pretty bad too IMO). Damn, who does the sculpts for AA figures these days? Imagineering has really gone downhill since the days of master...

So I've been watching various vloggers' videos of Epic Universe...and it feels so good to say that Epic has exceeded my wary but high expectations. The attention to detail, the artistry, the lavish themeing, the rides that set a new standard for theme park attractions, and even the food getting...

It's hard to predict how well or badly this flick will do, but the CGI animation in it looks horrible. Especially Pleakley. Nightmare fuel.

Underperformed, lol.

For my part, I would prefer Jack Sparrow, but if that lady pirate is Redd from the ride, then cool. Historically, there really were lady pirates. So this wouldn't be pandering - just historically accurate. Anyway, the concept art for this actually looks interesting. Not nearly as good as Epic...

The new Mickey Mouse shorts were hilarious.

I understand some of the naysaying about the new bride...but I still think she's a vast improvement over Constance. I like her design, which probably looks better in person, and getting rid of the axe-murderer aspect was probably a good idea. My one caveat is that I wish she'd do something...

It sure as heck is a slap in the face. The original Journey into Imagination (which, unfortunately, I only saw on video) was amazing. Now the ride's a lame joke. The Imagineers should focus on fixing THAT, spend the money restoring and plussing a WDW original instead of putting irrelevant...

I'm equally confused by the worship those antique bits of felt and foam rubber still get from some people. The Muppets were a novelty act that hit it big in the 1970's, then faded quickly. If Eisner hadn't bought them, they'd be in the dustbin of history. Equally puzzling is the notion that...

And feh on you guys dissing on Aerosmith. "Walk This Way" will never die.

Superstar Limousine 2.0!
