Finally, the Real Muppets Movie Trailer
Seth Abramovitch · 06/19/11 10:01PMAfter three teaser fakes, the real, full-length trailer for the upcoming The Muppets has finally come out. Does it put to ease my growing concerns over what Jason Segel and company would do with Kermie and the gang? For the most part, yes, though I still have some reservations. But there's fart shoes, a new Muppet who looks a lot like Gene Simmons, Miss Piggy in a Chanel suit, and a Starship sing-along. How bad could it be? (And is that a "K & P" I spy on the wrought iron gate?) The movie opens November 23rd. [Muppets Studio]

John Cook · 05/13/11 05:05PMNo sooner does a team of anonymous American heroes risk their lives in pursuit of a solemn oath of justice than a multinational cartoon corporation seeks to profit from it with shitty tchochkes. Two days after members of the Navy's SEAL Team 6 killed Osama bin Laden, Disney trademarked the name for use in, among other things, "Christmas tree ornaments."

Hamilton Nolan · 03/21/11 02:01PMDoes the Mars Needs Moms Catastrophe Mean Anything?
Richard Lawson · 03/15/11 01:24PMDisney's latest animated movie (well, distributed by Disney, produced by Robert Zemeckis's now-defunct ImageMovers Digital) Mars Needs Moms opened this past weekend with receipts of around $6 million. Considering the movie cost between $150 and $175 million to make and release, this is a bomb on the scale of Cutthroat Island. Which is to say, it's a big, big bomb. So is this just some random fluke, or does it say something about a bigger trend? Some folks are saying it does.

Hamilton Nolan · 02/28/11 09:18AMAre you caught up on the most recent sex crimes somehow connected to Disney World? Well, you should be. First there was Disney reservations clerk Wilbert Brookins, arrested last week for trying to rape a woman in her Disney hotel room after he'd gotten her an "employee discount" and escorted her through the park. Although she was very specific: "she said at the time she would not exchange sex for this."
Disney's Hall of American Presidents Misnames Every Single President
Kristina Grosspietsch · 02/14/11 02:00PMIt wasn't until the announcer said "Jimmy Goose" instead of Andrew Jackson that the audience became aware of foul play. To be fair, Jonathan T. President does sounds like a convincing Commander-In-Chief kind of name.
Prom: The Most Important Night of Your Life Is Here
Richard Lawson · 02/09/11 03:48PMHere' s a new trailer for Disney's Prom, a movie all about the one night of your life when you can feel special and carefree and perfect. It's all downhill after the prom, for sure. The movie seems a bit like a teen version of ensemble comedies like—shudder—Valentine's Day.
