Artist Phillip Light created this hilariously cute illustration series depicting Disney princesses as sloths. See the whole collection at his tumbler: philliplight.tumblr.com
Not long ago I discovered my love for solo, multitrack a capella performances (see Matt Mullholland). This one is pretty awesome. Not only is he a great singer, but he sings about the lives of Disney princesses after the films end. Hilarious.
If you saw Wreck-it Ralph, I hope you also got there early enough to see the Disney animated short Paperman. Actually, hold up. If you haven’t seen Wreck-it Ralph, find a way to see it immediately. I don’t care if the closest theater playing it is 150 miles away. I promise it will be worth it.
But if you’d still like to wait until it’s released for purchase, you can breathe easy knowing you can watch Paperman on the interwebz for free. It has incredibly beautiful animation and an equally charming story. Disney has been putting out top-notch work the last few years and I can’t get enough.
I hope everyone goes and sees Wreck-It Ralph as soon as humanly possible. It’s seriously AMAZING. It’s the best of what an animated film should be: nostalgic, fun, sad at parts, funny at others, and tied together by brilliant voice performance and visual effects. Although it’s not a Pixar film, it’s definitely at that level of quality. Truthfully, I think I prefer it to most of the Pixar films. Every geek should see it, just for the video game references. And every person should see it, just because it’s awesome.
I love Disney and I love Annie Leibovitz’s Disney Dream portraits featuring celebrities as iconic Disney characters. Her newest portraits feature Russell Brand as Captain Hook and Will Ferrell, Jason Segel, and Jack Black as the Hitchhiking Ghosts from Disneyland’s the Haunted Mansion. Perfect additions to the already amazing series. Check them out, with a few of my earlier favorites:
Russell Brand as Captain Hook
Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Jason Segel as the Hitchhiking Ghosts
Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz as Belle and the Beast
Queen Latifah as Ursula
Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella
Beyonce, Lyle Lovett, Oliver Platt as Alice, the March Hare, and the Mad Hatter
Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony as Princess Jasmine and Aladdin
Yesterday we saw Pixar’s new animated film Brave, the story of a frizzy-haired Scottish princess who wants to avoid betrothal and determine her own fate. While it definitely is a departure from Pixar’s signature whimsy, it feels genuine and classic like a throwback to the Disney animated films of the past. It is funny, emotional, and beautifully animated. And on top of that, it’s the first of Pixar’s films dedicated to a female lead character. Merida, with her red curls and awesome bow skills, is a great addition to the family of Disney princesses.
When I saw this small collection of Brave concept art, I knew the film was at least going to be amazing to look at. But, as Pixar has proven time and time again, we can always expect beautiful visuals and a beautiful story.
