Bedtime Stories Movie
Release Date: 25 December 2008

Rated PG for mild language and crude humor

Whatever they dream up... he has to survive.

Bedtime Stories Movie

What if the stories you told came to life?  Adam Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson as an uncle who tells his niece and nephews bedtime stories that start to come true.  Bedtime Stories is a 2008 family fantasy comedy with a unique story line:   Skeeter is a hotel handyman who tells vivid stories to his sister's children, only to find they come true-with him in a starring role.  After he figures out that he is creating a sort of alternate world, he tries to take advantage of the phenomenon by weaving his own wishes into one crazy story after another.  Eventually we find that the kids' contributions make each story turn out in surprising ways.  There are Roman chariots, raining gumballs, cowboys, fireballs and aliens to keep the movie engaging.

The film will be directed by Adam Shankman. Sandler's production company Happy Madison and  Gunn Films are producers, and Walt Disney Pictures will distribute the film.

Disney-Pixar do it again with Wall-E!
 
The wait is over! Disney Pixar's latest movie Wall-e will be on DVD November 18. The Wall-e movie is another great Disney Pixar hit. The storyline is that humans have messed up the earth so much they have to leave the planet and wait for the robots to clean it up. But the robots all break down. Except for Wall-e. (Waste Allocation Load Lifter -- Earth-Class).
The character seems almost child-like. Wall-E spends all day compacting trash, and in the mean time he discovers treasures which he keeps in his Playmate cooler, for transfer to his collection shelf inside his "home".
Wall-e is all alone on Earth until Eve arrives. She was sent by the humans to find out whether or not it is safe for them to return to the Earth.
Wall-e is a love story like nothing that we have seen before. Although Wall-e uses very little dialogue it manages to touch the heart of the audience.
Wall-e falls in love with Eve. Her full name is Extra Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. She is a sleek, sophisticated probe droid who is far more advanced than Wall-e. She can fly and has her own very destructive laser gun.
The Wall-e movie is a love story with a powerful message.  The relationship between Eve and Wall-e seems very real, even if they are both robots.

Wall-e is directed by Andrew Stanton who won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for his movie Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton thought of the idea for the Wall-e movie before Toy Story was made.
Ben Burtt designed most of the voices, which are mostly electronic sounds. To make the sounds he took mechanical sounds and combined them to resemble dialogue. Burtt is known for his work on the Star Wars movies.
Wall-e had to wait a while from the original concept to arriving on the screen. After Andrew Stanton had completed Finding Nemo he felt that the technology was ready to create the effects that he needed for the movie. His feeling was that if they could create the effect of the sea, the the aiWall-E in Spacer was the next step.
The movie has something for everyone.  The animation is perfect, and while there is little dialog throughout the movie, it is still engaging in a way which demonstrated that communication is often independent of words.  This is a big movie which will keep you engaged for 90 minutes. 
WALL-E  is a 2008 computer animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film, which follows the romance between two robots in the future, was released on June 27, 2008. The film is being directed by Andrew Stanton, whose previous film, Finding Nemo, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Jim Morris, who previously worked for Lucasfilm, will be the producer. Most of the characters are not voiced by actors, but by sound design by Ben Burtt which resembles voices. Thomas Newman, who composed Finding Nemo, will reunite with Stanton to compose the film's score.

Story

According to John Lasseter in a presentation to Disney corporate investors:

“

WALL-E is the story of the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot and his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again.

Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, WALL·E falls in love with EVE, a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her.

”

WALL-E is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-class.

Hidden Mickeys in Movies

Do you know about Hidden Mickeys?  You will find them (if you look closely enough) in Disney parks and in all the Disney movies. 

In Tinkerbell's new movie, look for the Hidden Mickey head on the music box that Tink repairs!

Also, a recent movie Mickey is in Ariel's Beginning:  look at the head of the Octopus to find it.

Here are some parts of the Peter Pan movie which may be hidden Mickeys:
On Captain Hook's ship, on the back of Hook's chair is a Mickey head. You will notice this while Hook is warming his feet in a tub of water: look closely at the chair to see Mickey's head carved into the top of the chair.

The Lost Boys' tree has knotholes or doors that they dive into to enter the secret hideout. There is one large knothole, and two smaller ones forming the mouse's ears.

On the pirate's ship, near the end of the movie, Wendy's little brother Michael, puts a canon ball in his teddy bear.  Near him, there are 3 canon balls that form a Mickey.

Peter pan opens a present from Captain Hook after capturing The Lost Boys, Wendy and her brothers.  To see the hidden Mickey, which is black you will need to pause immediately at the point when the bomb explodes after the grey smoke starts to come out of the box. The hidden Mickey is a large black shape on the bottom right of the T.V. screen. It happens when he opens the present at 6 o'clock.

At the very end of Peter Pan, as the last scene pans away from the Darling house, the trees/bushes in front of the house in the lower right hand corner make a hidden Mickey.

One of our favorites is in The Little Mermaid:  Just after the opening sequence, the merpeople swim to the concert. After the sea horse blows his trumpet and King Triton enters and swims over the audience, Mickey, Goofy and Donald can be found sitting in the audience! It helps to watch the scene in slo-mo and they can be seen when King Triton gets toward the middle and bottom of the screen, right after his golden triton goes across the screen. Look for Donald's blue sailor hat and Mickey's ears. Goofy (who is the tallest of the bunch and also easy to pick out) is sitting above Donald who is sitting above Mickey.

Bolt is available on DVD and Blu-Ray

"Bolt" is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.  Audiences may think the 3-D computer-animated film came from Pixar Studios.  Pixar started with hits like "Toy Story" and has recently created "Wall-E."

Bolt is a comedy about a show-business dog starring the voices of John Travolta and Miley Cyrus.  Bolt was created from Disney's own animation studio and represents an important move by Disney to recreate a part of the company that ran out of power in the last decade.  The decline in Disney animation came about partly because of cooler offerings by studios like Pixar, which Disney bought in 2006.

Bolt looks like a fun movie to see over the holiday weekend, appropriate for children.  It has been Bolt plush toyovershadowed by "Twilight" the teen-vampire movie but it does appeal to slightly different audiences. 

Disney, as always, does a great job of merchandising their movie offerings.  Bolt plush toys are flying off the shelves!  The animals (Bolt, Mitten the Cat, and Rhino the hamster) are full of cuteness and will probably be on a lot of youngsters' Christmas lists.

Our favorites source for just about anything is shown below:
