According to Deadline Hollywood and The Los Angeles Times , Disney Channels Worldwide president Rich Ross may take at least some of Cook's prior responsibilities. Other candidates include John Lasseter, DreamWorks' Stacy Snider, and Marvel's Kevin Feige. Meanwhile, Variety notes that the job of stud...

A new poster - possibly the main one - for The Princess and the Frog has been found at eBay. A large Brazilian version of the one-sheet may be seen here.

First of all, thanks for the front page mention, James. :) Ben, you make a good point. After being with Disney for around 38 years, it seems unlikely Cook would just suddenly resign, unless he had a substantial reason. If Iger did fire Cook, I'm afraid that was a bad move. Sure, Disney's lineup of f...

Late Friday, Dick Cook announced his resignation as chairman of Walt Disney Studios. Of the articles I've read thus far, The New York Times seems to go the most in-depth about the situation. It seems Cook has been considering the move for quite some time. According to the article, Cook's final decis...

Reuters has Stan Lee's take on the Disney acquisition of Marvel. To me, becoming 'Disneyfied' is not a bad thing. I mean look at (Disney) movies like Pirates of the Caribbean . Disney knows how to do movies. They know how to do colorful characters and I think the fans, if they think about it, they'...

That is pretty funny, James.

Regarding its deal with Marvel, Paramount has released an interesting statement. Some folks today have been wondering what will be the fifth, and final, film in Paramount's lineup. Looks like it's going to be Iron Man 3.

Nikki Finke has the latest on the possibility of Marvel attractions at the Disney theme parks: Meanwhile, it's important to note that the statement today does not mention Marvel in connection with Disney theme parks. That's because, I've learned, Disney may not be able to use the 5,000 Marvel chara...

CHUD [article has a bit of strong language] now has notes from a conference call that will answer some of our questions. Some highlights: UPDATE 7:25: All current Marvel deals should stay in place - ie, Fantastic Four remain at Fox, Spider-Man lives at Sony. UPDATE 7:30: No shock, but Disney expect...

This news certainly surprised me. Regarding something this big, internet rumors of the deal usually precede the official announcement. With that said, I'd heard nothing about Disney possibly buying Marvel. Anyway, I think the deal was a very wise move on Iger's part. Like Eddie, though, I am a bit c...

[...]that's the Hughes that we should be remembering, which I guess we are, going by the films that are being highlighted by the press and here. It does indeed seem as if many - maybe even most - reports these past few days overlook Hughes' work after Home Alone . Personally, I think some of those ...

The Tiger King could indeed be an upcoming documentary from Disneynature. On the other hand, a guy in the talkback section of /Film points out that Tiger King is one of Aesop's Fables.

Jim Hill points out that Disney has registered thetigerkingmovie.com. I think it's safe to assume the film has something to do with The Lion King . Perhaps a theatrical sequel from Walt Disney Animation Studios? I've enjoyed the two Lion King sequels. Still, I've often felt The Lion King deserves a...

I thought you guys might enjoy this video. I don't know if it's, as the title says, 'the best marriage proposal in world history.' Still, it's certainly fun and memorable.

Cartoon Brew has a nice summary of Jackon's animation-related works.

On a side note, I had no clue Brad Bird directed the "Do the Bartman" music video.

You make a good point, Wendy's Jane. When I saw the final trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen , I thought, "Hey, this looks pretty good!" I didn't really like the first Transformers movie. Still, I thought its sequel could be something enjoyable. Judging from the Tomatometer , though, my...
