Scrooge of Christmas Carol Past: BFI's 1901 Gem

Posted 11-12-2009 at 11:03 PM by disneytim (Tim's Disney News Archive)

I've yet to see Disney's latest take on "A Christmas Carol" with all of Robert Zemeckis' performance-capture 3D gewgaws. Part of it is because it's just not close enough to Christmas for me to catch the spirit--I'm definitely a post-Thanksgiving Yuletide reveler. The other part is I'm leery of any new film version of Dickens' tale that dares to tread where Alastair Sim (Best. Scrooge. Ever.) and Albert Finney (Most. Underrated. Scrooge. Ever.) have already gone. I've also got a soft spot...

The Walt Disney Family Museum: The Smithsonian of Walt

The Walt Disney Family Museum

By the end of my visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum, I was running out of superlatives to describe it.

"Amazing," "eye-popping," "whimsical," "profound," "fun" and "moving" all work, but none come close to capturing the experience. You have to be there to truly appreciate...

D23 Expo - Day One Recap

Posted 09-11-2009 at 10:11 AM by disneytim (Tim's Disney News Archive)

Impressions, thoughts, and maybe a picture or two from day one of the D23 Expo in Anaheim:



Robert Iger's Opening Keynote

A great, big, beautiful commercial for Disney (not that the whole of the D23 Expo isn't anyway) with an opening video splash of all the elements in the Disney universe. Everyone had their favorites and the crowd showed its appreciation accordingly....
