Almost as famous as the Disney Pixar films themselves are the animated shorts we have come to expect infront of them. Disney Pixars Monsters University is no exception with the animated short The Blue Umbrella. Created by director 36 year old Saschka Unseld, The Blue Umbrella is one of the most fascinating shorts I've seen in a long time. What is truly inspiring is that the idea of The Blue Umbrella actually blossomed from an Instagram project Saschka Unseld does in his spare time. And … [Read more...]
A Look Into Pixar’s The Blue Umbrella With Director Saschka Unseld #MonstersUEvent
Dan Scanlon on The Monsters University College Experience #MonstersUEvent
As I sat in the theater and immersed myself into the world of Monsters University it's easy to forget all of the work that went into it. There is so much more to a movie than a script, characters, a story line and vision- although that's all a huge part of it. People behind the scenes like Dan Scanlon also need to answer a lot of questions not related to the actual components of the film. Dan Scanlon is one of Pixar's talented writers, storyboard artist and director. Originally from … [Read more...]
The El Capitan Theatre and Disney’s Soda Fountain Go Together Like PB&J #IronMan3Event

Seeing the premiere of a movie like Iron Man 3 in the plush seats of Walt Disney Pictures exclusive first run theatre the El Capitan is an experience like no other. It takes the … [Read more...]
Iron Man 3 Inspired Outfits – For Everyday and The Red Carpet
Since being invited to the red carpet premiere of Iron Man 3 in Los Angeles last week, my mind has been on a whirlwind. There are so much to do and plan! First I need to figure out just how to "accidentally" bump into the gorgeous Robert Downey Jr. I also need to figure out just what I'm going to wear on the red carpet! Do I dress up? Or casual chic? I'd love to wear an Iron Man inspired outfit. Unfortunately Red and Gold are two colors I don't even own, so I scoured the web to find some much … [Read more...]

Frankenweenie is Electrifying
As I sat down to watch Disney's Frankenweenie, I wasn't sure what I was going to think about it. I love Tim Burton and The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies. The magic of Disney goes without saying so if you put the two together, it should be a hit, right?! But for some reason I had reservations. The previews looked entertaining, but how would it translate into an hour and a half film? Once I popped in the DVD, it didn't take me long to realize I had nothing to worry … [Read more...]
Cinderella Diamond Edition: A Timeless Classic
A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. I still remember my first pair of super awesome light up shoes. Mine were cooler than cool because they also had Cinderella on them! I remember I got them one night shortly after the start of 1st grade and I couldn't sleep that night in anticipation of showing them off the next day. While it feels like so long ago, it's nothing when you compare it to the fact Cinderella was first released in the 1950's. The timelessness of Disney … [Read more...]

Duuuuddeee, I Spoke With Crush From Finding Nemo 3D!
I've been a Disney kid for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always wished I could jump inside the TV in order to spend the day with my favorite characters. On my last trip to Disney I came *this close* to doing just that! As we entered the experience we found ourselves sitting in front of a window looking thousands of leagues under the sea chatting with my old pal, Crush. Chea, we go wayyy back. We first met in 2003 at a local cinema where I also met some of his pals. Perhaps … [Read more...]
