  • The Dapper Dans Delivered A ‘Singing Villaintine’ to the Haunted Mansion

    The Dapper Dans Delivered A ‘Singing Villaintine’ to the Haunted Mansion

    Everyone is celebrating Valentine’s Day today, but on Tuesday Disney Parks was celebrating Villaintine’s Day and they brought in the Dapper Dans to help.

    It was a perfect day to celebrate all Disney villains and the fun they add to Disney films or attractions – and no attraction houses more “creepy creeps” who “pretend to terrorize” than the Haunted Mansion.

    When they started making plans on how to celebrate Villaintine’s Day, one question came to mind – what would happen if we sent the cheerful, happy-go-lucky Dapper Dans quartet from Main Street, U.S.A., to deliver a Singing Valentine to none other than Master Gracey at the Haunted Mansion? Check out the video below to watch as the Dapper Dans’ “vocalize” their Singing Valentine into a Singing Villaintine.

  • LEAKED: Scrapped Haunted Mansion Animated Series Trailer

    LEAKED: Scrapped Haunted Mansion Animated Series Trailer

    Shannon Tindle, creator of Kubo and the Two Strings, released a trailer via his twitter this weekend of a Haunted Mansion Animated Series that he had developed at Disney. The trailer actually looks really intriguing, but unfortunately the teaser was as far as project made it, since Disney decided to scrap the project.

    Tindle, with a deal from Disney Television Animation and a small creative team, developed the project last year. Two different pilots were written for the possible Haunted Mansion animated series. One for a limited series and one for a longer running series. For a look at what could have been, take a peek at the trailer for the series below.

    In a report from Cartoon Brew, Tindle said, “My goal was to take inspiration from all the backstories created by the artists at WED (Disney’s Imagineering division) and stitch it into one, giant narrative. The story would span several years and focus on different characters, but add up to one big, interconnected story.”

    Tindle’s initial tweeted contained a link to the video on Vimeo, but he later deleted it “in case Disney has issues with it being posted.” He is no longer with Disney but said of the project that he had received “nothing but support” from the team at Disney Television Animation, even though it was eventually scuttled.

    Although Disney isn’t picking up the series, the reactions from Tindle’s Trailer Tweet was very well received online. Tindle’s show now has a passionate group of fans who want to see the series produced and finished for all audiences to view.

    Disney could have canned the series any number of reasons, one possibly being they just recently released an animated Haunted Mansion Special of their own, which aired on Disney XD. Who knows though? Deadpool, though not owned by Disney at the time, also had a “Leaked” trailer which received such an enthusiastic response that it finally spurred its reluctant studio into making the film. Here’s to hoping!

  • This Bathroom Captures the Spirit Disney’s Haunted Mansion

    This Bathroom Captures the Spirit Disney’s Haunted Mansion

    Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, you just might be in this couples bathroom. Measuring in at about 28 square feet, this bathroom is located in Los Angeles and replicates with great detail the Foyer from Disney’s Haunted Mansion with ghoulish delight.

    The apartment belongs to Carrie Hayward, author of PassPorter’s Disney Weddings & Honeymoons, and husband Patrick Johnson, puppeteer and co-owner of Swazzle and the haunted bathroom was designed by Hayward and an assist from interior decorator Leslie Landis. Take a look at all the pictures below.

    When Hayward was a child, her family would visit Disneyland, in Anaheim. As a life long Disneyland fan she dreamed of meeting her prince charming one day.

    As she got older, Hayward kept her passion mostly under wraps. Then one day while she was waiting to board Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, she threw a nickel in the fountain and wished to meet a man who shared her love of Disneyland. Later that night she met Patrick and on their first date he casually mentioned that he had a Disneyland annual pass and the rest as they say is history.

    For Hayward and Johnson, redecorating to capture the spirit of the foyer in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion was a thrilling ride. With all the work they put into the bathroom, they don’t envision redecorating—or moving—anytime soon.

    “we will probably be in this place a long time,”

    says Hayward and they don’t plan on moving anytime soon.

    Hayward’s philosophy is that you should make your home comfortable no matter how long you intend to live there, regardless of whether you rent or own. They invested in some things that they cannot take with them when we leave, but for them, it’s worth it to be able to enjoy them while they live there, no matter how long that is.
