  • ‘Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular’ Is Coming to Disneyland

    ‘Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular’ Is Coming to Disneyland

    Pixar Fest is the biggest celebration of Pixar to ever come to Disney Parks and it all starts April 13 at the Disneyland Resort. Among the festivities is a brand-new fireworks spectacular that celebrates friendship through dazzling pyrotechnics and memorable music. “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” will light up Disneyland park throughout Pixar Fest connecting guests to their favorite Pixar characters and adventures like never before.

    The nighttime show creates an emotional journey told with light, music, and magic—one that begins with the meeting of unlikely pals and follows along as they overcome obstacles and form lasting relationships.

    Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular

    The stories of “Together Forever” will come to life through projections on iconic park locations: Sleeping Beauty Castle, the water screens of the Rivers of America, the façade of it’s a small world, and even the buildings of Main Street, U.S.A. And in the grand tradition of everyone’s favorite resident of Pixie Hollow, Tinker Bell, flying over the castle, Together Forever will feature a flyover by Buzz Lightyear himself… and—incredibly—the house from Up!

    Together Forever is the crown jewel of Pixar Fest,” says the spectacular’s creative director, Susana Tubert. “In creating the show, the team and I decided on a format that reflects this idea of a ‘visual symphony’ or journey through the five stages of friendship. We have the first movement, called ‘Chance Encounters’; the second movement [is where] the characters fall ‘in like’ and go on adventures; they overcome adversity together; they forge everlasting bonds; and then we have the finale, which is a celebration of all the Pixar friendships.” says Tubert.

    Don’t miss Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular, debuting at Disneyland park on April 13!

  • New Incredibles 2 Trailer Walks Away With The Gold After Olympics Sneak Peek

    New Incredibles 2 Trailer Walks Away With The Gold After Olympics Sneak Peek

    The newest trailer for Disney-Pixar’s Incredibles 2 trailer was finally released last night during the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Games.

    Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes are back in Incredibles 2, but this time Helen is in the spotlight, leaving Bob at home with Violet and Dash to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transition for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers.

    When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone must find a way to work together again — which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible. Check out the incredible trailer below.

    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.

    The long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s The Incredibles is due out in theaters June 15th, 2018.

  • ‘Toy Story 4’ Finds Its New Writer

    ‘Toy Story 4’ Finds Its New Writer

    Toy Story 4 has a new writer! Pixar has tapped Stephany Folsom to pen the next instalment of the franchise that put them on the map. She will now be tasked with bringing the adventures of Woody and Buzz to life for the upcoming sequel for the company’s most popular property.

    Toy Story 4 will be Folsom’s first major credit. In 2013 she made the Black List for her original screenplay 1969: A Space Odyssey, or How Kubrick Learned to Stop Worrying and Land on the Moon. She was also brought on late to do some work on Thor: Ragnarok although it’s not clear what exactly her role was. She recently she had a little tiff with Marvel that made news after she wasn’t given a “Story by” credit on the film.  It seems that is in the rearview mirror for her, now that she is responsible for the future story of Disney Pixar’s most popular franchise.

    Originally the film was going to be written by Rashida Jones and her writing partner Will McCormack, but last year she parted ways with the company. Reports claimed that Jones left the project early on after an unwanted advance from Pixar head John Lasseter.

    Lasseter recently took a leave of absence following claims of sexual harassment and misconduct, but Jones issued a statement to The New York Times, saying, “We did not leave Pixar because of unwanted advances.” She continued, “We parted ways because of creative and, more importantly, philosophical differences.”

    With the last sequel topping over $1 billion in global box office this film has a lot to live up to. The sequel is dated for release June 21, 2019, although with Lasseter leaving and a new writer just coming on board you can expect there ay be a delay for the release.

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

    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.
