    Allure Bridals will unveil the entire collection during New York Bridal Fashion Week in April 2020, and gowns will arrive in stores shortly thereafter. Take a look below at some of the designs:

With singular design and detailing available in each princess-inspired gown, every bride will have the chance to showcase their personal style through the collection. The Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection will be available at select bridal boutiques across the country. Prices range from $1,200 to $2,500.

  • Perfectly Sinister Disney Gifts for your Villainous Valentine

    Perfectly Sinister Disney Gifts for your Villainous Valentine

    I don’t know about you, but I just love a good Villain. So, in honor of that, we’ve gathered up a collection of Disney gifts perfect for your Villainous Valentine.

    • Zales Enchanted Disney Villains Evil Queen Diamond Engagement Ring in 14K White Gold
    • Zales Enchanted Disney Villains Jafar Diamond Snake Hoop Earrings in Sterling Silver

    Zales has an entire collection of fine jewelry dedicated to the villain in your life. There are rings, earrings, and a necklace to add a little sparkle to her bad side! Prices range for $149.99 to $3499.99. You can see the whole collection here.

    Whether it’s a party where a baby need to be cursed, or a poisonous apple that needs to be delivered, we all know that Villains like to be on time! Citizen, that iconic watch company, has two gorgeously subtly but darkly sinister timepieces to choose from. Both watches are inscribed on the case back. Maleficent says, “Mistress of all Evil,” and Ursala says, “Poor Unfortunate Souls.” You’ll find these and more Disney watches here.

    Does your true love need a way to carry all their spell ingredients on their next adventure through the haunted forest? In that case, Hot Topic has you covered with these two Loungefly bags. The Maleficent satchel is debossed with a scene of Prince Philip battling Maleficent in her dragon form. The mini backpack is made of a soft red velvet and the gold heart on the front is engraved with “Evil Queen.”

    If you and your Valentine are more into experiences, then I would highly recommend attending Disney Villains After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park. This separate ticketed event takes place on select nights February 7th – July 10th, 2020. You’ll have the Magic Kingdom as your playground for an additional 3 hours after the park closes to guests. Enjoy frightfully fun entertainment, photo ops, and park entry as early as 7:00 PM. Ice cream novelties, popcorn and select bottled beverages are all included with your event admission. There’s also an After Hours exclusive parade called the Villains’ Cursed Caravan which happens twice a night where Maleficent – the fire-breathing dragon – slinks through the park.

    If you’re interested in booking the Villains After Hours Event at Magic Kingdom park contact Kimberly with Enchanted Kingdom Vacations. Check her out here. And Happy Valentine’s Day my nefarious friends!

  • Disney’s Live-Action Pinocchio Remake Confirms Robert Zemeckis to Direct and Co-Write

    Disney’s Live-Action Pinocchio Remake Confirms Robert Zemeckis to Direct and Co-Write

    Oscar-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis has been tapped to direct and co-write Disney’s live-action remake of its animated classic Pinocchio.

    Tom Hanks was reportedly in talks to play Pinocchio’s “father” Geppetto in 2018; it’s unclear if he is still attached to the film.

     The original film centered around Geppetto who catches sight of a wishing star and wishes for Pinocchio to become a real boy. Once Geppetto fell asleep, his home is visited by the Blue Fairy, who brings Pinocchio to life. With his faithful friend Jiminy Cricket by his side, Pinocchio embarks on fantastic adventures that test his bravery, loyalty and honesty until he triumphs in his quest for his heart’s desire: to become a real boy.

    The original 1940 animated movie won two Oscars for best original score and the classic Disney tune, “When You Wish Upon a Star”. The movie based on the Carlo Collodi story follows the young puppet boy Pinocchio who yearns to be a real boy after being created by Geppetto.

    Production could possibly start by the end of the year. While no release date has been set for Pinocchio, Disney has several dates reserved for untitled live-action features as can see below:

    March 12, 2021; July 30, 2021; Oct. 8, 2021; Nov. 19, 2021; March 25, 2022; May 27,2022; July 8, 2022; Aug. 12, 2022; Nov. 4, 2022; March 10, 2023; May 26, 2023; July 14, 2023; Aug. 11, 2023; Oct. 6, 2023;  and Dec. 15, 2023. Their next live-action reboot of a classic animated title is Mulan on March 27.

  • ‘Bambi’ Live-Action Remake is in the Works

    ‘Bambi’ Live-Action Remake is in the Works

    Disney is remaking another classic into a live-action adventure and this time it’s Bambi that will be joining the herd.

    The film will employ the same photo-realistic CGI used on Disney’s remakes of “The Jungle Book” and “The Lion King” to tell the story of the titular fawn who befriends a rabbit and skunk before coping with the death of his mother at the hands of a hunter.

    The original movie, released in 1942, told the story of a young fawn named Bambi as he learns his place in the forest. With his two best friends, a rabbit named Thumper and a skunk named Flower, Bambi comes of age as he faces the joys and heartache — cue the loss of a parent — of growing up.

    Screenwriters Geneva Robertson-Dworet (“Captain Marvel”) and Lindsey Beer (“Sierra Burgess Is a Loser”) will write the screenplay, with Chris and Paul Weitz’s Depth of Field producing.

    The luxury Italian label turned to Mickey Mouse, for a limited-edition collection of ready-to-wear items.

    As every nostalgic fashionista would hope, Gucci x Disney has Mickey and Minnie-adorned versions of all the brand’s most sought after pieces, including the Marmont handbag, classic logo tee, fluffy loafers and more. Take a look below at a few of the collection items:

    Gucci and Mickey Mouse have teamed up in the past, as well. For the cartoon character’s 90th birthday in 2018, Gucci unveiled a 3D Mickey Mouse Top Handle Bag ($4,500) on the Spring-Summer 2019 Runway.

  • Once Upon A Time Creators Creating New Disney Fairytale TV Show

    Once Upon A Time Creators Creating New Disney Fairytale TV Show

    Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are taking another run at the world of fairytales. They’re teaming up with their former Once Upon a Time writer Brigette Hales to launch a new fairytale TV series for ABC called Epic.

    Epic is a romantic anthology series set in the fairytale universe of Disney. Taking place in a Disney-like Enchanted Forest, it will center on a whole new set of new heroes, villains, princes, princesses and all manner of magical beings.

    While it will pay homage to the classic signposts we’re all familiar with from the stories we grew up with, Epic will endeavor to create a whole new batch of characters as it explores love in all its forms.

    The news of Epic‘s development comes a couple of months after Disney decided not to move forward with Kitsis’ and Horowitz’s Muppets Live Another Day series, which had Frozen star Josh Gad attached. The duo will executive-produce Epic, which Hale will oversee as showrunner while they continue work on their Apple TV+ series, Amazing Stories.

    Once Upon a Time was a big hit for ABC, and a large part of that was the show’s use of popular fairy tales which had already been adapted by Disney. The show lasted for seven seasons, ending in 2018.

    After an already dominating year at the box office Disney’s “Frozen 2” is the companies sixth movie this year to hit $1 billion globally.

    Those ticket sales extend the benchmark Disney set over summer, with five other films — “Avengers: Endgame,” “Aladdin,” “Toy Story 4,” “The Lion King” and “Captain Marvel” — joining the billion-dollar club in a single year. “Frozen 2” is Disney Animation’s third movie to cross $1 billion and now stands as the seventh-biggest animated film ever.

    Earlier in December, Disney became the first studio in history to surpass $10 billion worldwide, and that’s before “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” arrives in theaters Dec. 20.

    “Frozen 2” is already the eighth-highest grossing movie of the year. In North America, the fantasy follow-up has generated $367 million. The film crossed $600 million overseas, powered by especially strong showings in China ($111.5 million), Korea ($85.4 million), Japan ($67.3 million) and the United Kingdom ($49.6 million).

    “Frozen 2” debuted to $130 million at the domestic box office ahead of Thanksgiving, setting a November record for an animated movie. It also become the first cartooned film outside of summer to hit triple digits in its inaugural weekend. The film continued its dominance through Turkey Day, cementing a new industry high-water mark with $123 million over the five-day holiday frame.

    Directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, “Frozen 2” continues the adventures of Princesses Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), who reunite with Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and Olaf (Josh Gad) and embark on an adventure beyond Arendelle to find out why Elsa was born with magical powers.
