Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney and Classic Shorts Showcase. And today, we are taking a look at the first animated appearance of Huey, Dewey, & Louie. The triplets were originally created for the Silly Symphonies comic strips, where they were sent to live with their uncle after landing their father in the hospital, in this short, however it is not stated as to why their mother is sending them to Donald. With that out of the way, let’s see what these troublemakers have in store for their Uncle Donald.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney. Today, I’m introducing a new segment here on A Look at Disney. Simply called My Idea. What is My Idea, well it’s where I get to do some Imagineering of my own as I take a film that doesn’t have an attraction in the parks and try to come up with a ride idea. From first revealing the film what Park I’d put in and what Land it should go in, coming up with a Ride Name, Ride Type & Vehicle Type, Key Moments which moments should be included. Queue Line/Waiting Area, what I think should be done here and whether or not this part should be themed. Fastpass, where I determine whether or not I think this ride should have a Fastpass and for those that may not know, I’ll go over what this, when get there and finally, Chances of This Ride Happening, where I determine whether or not this ride could actually be built. So now that I have gone over how I’ll be doing this, let’s get started.

Hello & welcome back to A Look at Disney. One of my all time favorite musicals, ever is Newsies and you probably know that if you’ve followed this blog for any length of time as I’ve done numerous articles about the movie and the stage musical. Reflecting upon it, more while I love the movie, I must admit that I am a bigger fan of the stage musical and that is in part because Newsies: The Musical introduced me to this story and led me to find the movie. Even, if I did see the movie first. Alas, all good things must come to an end and after 2 very successful years on Broadway and a few Tony wins and culminating in bringing together even more Fansies, Newsies on Broadway played it’s last show, this past Sunday. And I have to admit that when I first heard the news of this show closing, I was sad. This is one of my favorite musicals and out of all the Disney stage musicals, I’ve seen, it’s my favorite. I’m happy that I had the chance to see it and I will forever carry the banner to make that world will know that this is a gem of a musical. I knew I wanted to pay my respects to this show and the best way, I know how. I’m counting down my Top 6 favorite songs from Newsies: The Musical. Now, this is a mix of songs that were written for the play and some that were carried over from the movie and made all the better. So for one last time, let’s grab some papes and try to sell the headlines.

Today, we are taking a look at one of the most well-known shorts from Make Mine Music as we take at The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met. With that out of the way, let’s begin.

Here’s  an old review  of a  fan made MLP short that never got posted to the old site.   I’m considering doing a Top 6 Fan Animation and this may be on the list.

Hello & welcome back to Trotting Through Life. It’s a been while since I looked at a fan animation and the last time, I did I didn’t have very many nice things to say about it. Today that is not the case as I’ll be taking a look at the rather adorable two and a half minute short, Derpy’s Toy. Derpy Hooves or Ditzy Doo or Fan Favorite (Some people call her that but I refuse) is easily the most popular background pony from the show. And I can see why….now. Let me give you some background on my feelings regarding this background pony. For the longest time, I hated Derpy. I couldn’t even understand why someone would even have a favorite background pony but then I found Lyra Heartstrings (still need to do that article, that’ll be the next one, I promise) and my hatred for Derpy started to melt away because of my love of for Lyra. I no longer see Derpy as this annoying little pest that I viewed her as for so long, but rather a mare who just happens to look funny but tries her hardest. With that out of the way, let’s get to the meat of the review, and here’s a link to the short in question.
