The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

What's up everybody.  Just found out that on December 10, 2010, the third movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader will be coming to theaters.  The weird part is that the company making this movie is Fox 20th Century Pictures.  It sort of saddens me and wonder why it wasn't the Walt Disney Pictures making this.  I'm going to check more on the web for more info, but if you guys have anything that you know about this, please comment.  Thanks and see you later.

ATTENTION!!:Disney Archives Chief Dave Smith Retires

According to LA Times and D23, Disney Archives chief, Dave Smith, announces retirement. He has been working in the Disney Archives for 40 years from the beginning when he opened on 1970. His purpose was to keep Disney alive and to show people the view of Walt Disney's perspective. He has kept the official/original objects from art of Disney's classic movies to the actual desk from Walt Disney's office where he sat and thought himself. We are going to truly miss Dave Smith.

Fantasmic!: The History and the New

It was in 1992 when Disneyland premiered a new nighttime spectacular that everyone would gather around Rivers of America until today. Fantasmic! has been one of the biggest show and long-running one too. 23 minutes running for 18 years today. It even took months to build an elevation system for the Maleficent dragon. Even the mist screen, fireworks, and fire was outstanding for the guests of Disneyland. The first name they came up for the show was "Imagination" but as they recalled Fantasia and all the wonders of it the storyline was built better and became to what we know today. But they still kept the melodic theme song "Imagination" if you listen to the lyrics closely.

It wasn't really a surprise when the show went national on 1997 as the Disney-MGM Studios (now changed and known today as Disney's Hollywood Studios) announced that they would have their own version of Fantasmic! with new characters, new features, and new technology. This became everyone's favorite show everywhere.

As Fantasmic! got even more famous, the crew and the Imagineers added more features in Anaheim's show including the Mark Twain Riverboat and the Columbia Sailing Ship added and allowing rides for the guests. Last year, they made a new Maleficent dragon that shows a 3-D feature that breathes fire from its mouth. They also added new characters like Ursula's eels and a new looking crocodile for the Hook scene. The crew thought that this show would only last for 5 years. The crew and the Imagineers are back with new people to work on Disneyland's new show, World of Color, but that's is another story(check blog post "Disneyland Trip 20th-22nd/World of Color" and for upcoming posts).

Fantasmic! has officially gone global as the show is going through construction in Tokyo DiseySea at Tokyo Disneyland in Mediterranean Harbor.With the new technology from World of Color, there will be new feature like bigger mist screens and a bigger dragon. More details will come soon or go check the web yourself and find out what's going on with this ongoing show.

Disneyland Trip this July/World of Color

Coming this July, I will go back to Disneyland for my 20th-(possibly)22nd visit. Not only is it Summer Nightastic in Disneyland, but I am only there for one reason. The new nighttime spectacular,World of Color, that started on June 11 at Disney's California Adventure. World of Color was brought back from the idea of Walt Disney's original T.V. show, The Wonderous World of Color. The night show will combine lights, water, color, and fire. It will also feature Disneyland's classic technology with the mist screen. Make sure you see your favorite characters in the show too. More details on my trip soon or go to the World of Color Disneyland website by clicking the title on this blog post.

2010 Summer Nightastic

In both, Disneyland and Walt Disney World, will rock the night in a new light. There will be new features added to Magic the Fireworks Spectacular including Peter Pan. The Electrical Parade is back in Main St. U.S.A. at Disney World and new technology on the Twilight Tower of Tower ride. A 40-foot dragon is added to the show, Fantasmic!, in Disneyland to make a realistic, 3-D dragon. One more thing that everyone is talking about is the new show, World of Color, featuring in Disney's California Adventure. It is Summer Nightastic in Disney Parks.
