Went to see a sneak peek of Bolt this weekend. WOW! Yes, the animation is very good (I saw in 3D too) but it's the story that reminds you THIS is a Disney film. Actually saw it as a double feature after seeing Madagascar 2 and seeing a flyer that the theater was having a test showing of it's first 3D movie so stuck around to see it. Glad I did.

Found this over on BoingBoing this morning.

Looks like a new Disney Alice in Wonderland book has been published...what's the big deal? This one has the artwork of Mary Blair. mine's on order...

Professor Randy Pausch passed away today which of course made me go listen to his Last Lecture again. I'm still working on that Disney dream he talked about too.

He used rejections he was handed when he applied for jobs at Disney to comment on the importance of persistence.

Me and the little one went to see Wall-e yesterday afternoon. Great film. I must say I was skeptical a while back when I heard a synopsis...but Pixar did it again! Loved the Apple little salutes...and $63.1M ain't bad for a weekend.

See 'Peter Pan' at the L.A. Film Fest this weekend, in honor of animator Ollie Johnston, one of Disney's "Nine Old Men."

Found over on TMZ: Mouse ears don't grow on turbans, according to a Sikh trumpeter who says he got negged for a job by Disney because of his religious headgear -- and facial hair.
