Disney reveals name of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge planet

While Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge won’t arrive to Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disneyland until 2019, but the creative team behind the new planet they’re building now has a name. Be prepared to visit Batuu, a planet on the edge of the Star Wars galaxy.

The detail was revealed to visitors to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at both the Orlando and California parks on Friday morning. Visitors riding the ride found themselves landing unexpectedly on a planet in the outer rim of the Star Wars galaxy – a planet known to C-3PO, and now to us, as Batuu.

Previously revealed about Batuu has been its back story.

When it opens, the 14-acre area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as its counterpart in California, will take guests into a new planet in the Star Wars universe.

“We wanted to build new Star Wars stories, new Star Wars destinations, but this time you could be in that story that required us to go to a new place,” Trowbridge said at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year. “It’s a new planet. It’s a new place. It’s this remote frontier outpost.” Lucasfilm creative executive Pablo Hildalgo added, “With every new Star Wars story it’s like coming back home but finding a new corner of that home you’ve never explored before. When it came to developing this location…not only figuring out where this place is on the galactic map but what its history has been throughout galactic history.

“It’s been there for thousands and thousands of years,” Hidalgo explained, “You’re going to discover that. You’re going to be able to get a sense of the history of the place when you go there.”

The planet is in the Star Wars universe’s Outer Rim in the Unknown Regions.

“This used to be a vibrant trading port back in the old sub-lightspeed days, but now with advent of hyperspace, its prominence has kind of fallen and faded a little bit which has made it a great spot for those who didn’t want to be on that kind of mainstream path,” Trowbridge said. “The smugglers, the bounty hunters, the rogue adventurers looking to crew up, the people who don’t want to be found — basically all the interesting people.”

The addition to both parks is the largest expansion of any theme park Disney has ever undertaken. It will open at Disneyland first in 2019 followed by Hollywood Studios.

Frozen, Avatar attractions win Thea Awards

Three Walt Disney World attractions inspired by the films “Avatar” and “Frozen” have won TEA Thea Awards.

Pandora — The World of Avatar, which opened in May at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, was recognized for outstanding achievement in “theme-park area development” and the Pandora ride called Flight of Passage was also recognized for its achievement.

Frozen Ever After, an Epcot ride in the Norway pavilion, won for outstanding achievement in “attraction reimagining.” The water ride, featuring the latest in animatronics, is a refurbishment of the old Maelstrom ride.

The announcement, made Tuesday by the Themed Entertainment Association, called Pandora “a tour de force in placemaking” and said that Flight was “flawlessly executed.”

Disney also had a winner out west. Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout, a revamp of Disney California Adventure’s Tower of Terror ride, also was recognized in the “attraction reimagining” category.

‘Incredibles 2’ Gets First Teaser Trailer From Disney-Pixar

13 years after the release of “The Incredibles,” Disney-Pixar has released a teaser trailer for the audience-demanded follow-up, “Incredibles 2.”

While not revealing much in terms of plot, the sequel appears to take place almost immediately after the events of the first film. Set to Michael Giacchino’s iconic theme, the trailer shows Jack-Jack, the Incredibles/Parrs’ infant son who was revealed to possess a multitude of powers at the end of “The Incredibles” after his family long suspected him powerless, using his laser-vision to chop off a slice of his dad’s hair.

“You have powers!” Bob shouts with joy as Jack-Jack cackles at his father’s funny appearance.

Craig T. Nelson voiced Mr. Incredible/Bob Parr in the original film, with Holly Hunter as his wife Helen Parr/Elastigirl and Samuel L. Jackson as Mr. Incredible’s best friend Lucius Best/Frozone. Sarah Vowell voiced the Incredible’s’ daughter Violet, who can create force fields and turn invisible, with Spencer Fox as Dash, who possesses superspeed. Brad Bird also voiced as fan favorite Edna Mode, costume designer of the Supers.

Disney-Pixar announced the sequel in March of 2014, originally planning it for a 2019 release, but later switched the date with that of “Toy Story 4,” which will now debut in 2019.

“Incredibles 2” hits theaters June 15, 2018.

Check out the teaser below.

SECRET FASTPASS DISTRIBUTION IN DISNEY’S MAGIC KINGDOM REVEALED

On select very busy evenings at the Magic Kingdom between November and December 2017, some guests will receive a bonus “surprise” FastPass to use on select attractions. We imagine this is not on nights where Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is taking place.

The secret fastpass distribution is on Tom Sawyer Island and it is extremely limited! In fact, it is so limited that you might want to think about being the first one over to the island the minute that they open. Heaven forbid, but if you don’t know where Tom Sawyer Island is… It is located between Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Haunted Mansion. The only way to get there is to travel by raft across the Rivers of America in Frontierland.

According to an inside source from the folks at Disney Every Day Here’s the secret… Cast Members will hide up to five whitewash paintbrushes in various places throughout the island. If you are lucky enough to find a brush and present it to a cast member, you will receive a Special Fastpass. What a great idea! You know where you can find me the next morning I open up the Magic Kingdom. Catch me if you can!

Disney-Pixar’s ‘Coco’ breaks box office record in Mexico

Disney-Pixar’s animated family comedy “Coco” has set a box office record in Mexico, becoming the top film as measured in local currency.

“Coco,” which premiered at the Morelia Film Festival, has taken in 824 million pesos — or $43.1 million — through its first 19 days and will pass the mark of 827 million pesos grossed by “The Avengers” during its entire run. The film debuted Oct. 27 — two days before the start of the three-day Dia De Los Muertos holiday and has held the top spot at the box office for its first three consecutive weeks.

“Coco” opens Nov. 22 in the U.S., followed by China on Nov. 23, and Russia on Nov. 24. The film is currently rated at 96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”) directed and Adrian Molina (story artist on “Monsters University”) co-directed. The producer is Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”).

The central charcter is Miguel, a 12-year-old who dreams of becoming a musician and is voiced by Anthony Gonzalez. He meets a trickster named Hector (Gael García Bernal) and sets off to find out the real story behind Miguel’s family history in the Land of the Dead.

Other members of the voice cast include Ana Ofelia Murguía, Jaime Camil, Sofía Espinosa, Luis Valdez, Lombardo Boyar, Benjamin Bratt, Renée Victor, Edward James Olmos, Alanna Ubach, Selene Luna, Alfonso Arau, Herbert Siguenza, Octavio Solis, Gabriel Iglesias, Cheech Marin, and Blanca Araceli.
