14 Disney Movies We Can't Wait to See

By Lindsey Allmon



Disney has made the executive decision to both excite and agonize us by releasing their movie plans all the way up through 2017, with Marvel extending to 2019. While we now have plenty of movies to look forward to, we now have to play the tormenting waiting game as we anticipate and speculate about what is to come.

5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Care That Disney Reused Images

By Lindsey Allmon



It’s been going around recently that Disney “borrowed” animation sequences from older movies and reused them instead of completely reimagining the new scenes. I’ve read a lot of these articles, and I sense a lot of hatred towards Disney for being “lazy” and essentially making the same film over and over. I’ve known about the copied frames for years and yet my opinion of Disney has never diminished. Continue after the page break for five very good reasons why everyone needs to cut Disney some slack...

Remakes…Remakes Everywhere


By Lindsey Allmon



There is something about remakes that simultaneously sends hope and excitement bubbling through our veins and a ball of dread sinking to the pit of our stomachs. On one hand, we love seeing our favorite stories come to life on the big screen once again, fresh and reimagined. Yet with that reimagining comes the fear that films that have been beloved for years may be slaughtered in their new production. While I understand the apprehension when it comes to these “new” films, perhaps there are some things that we can learn to love about remakes. Continue after the page break for six reasons why we shouldn’t hate the remake. (Warning: Spoiler alerts for films such as Cinderella(2015) and Maleficent(2014) ahead)...

Bringing Home the Hardware

By Lindsey Allmon



When the New Year rolls around there are plenty of things to look forward to: new beginnings, football (Yay Ohio State, National Champs!), and, of course, the award season. The Oscars, the Tonys, and the Golden Globes are watched annually by millions of people, including me. As we go into this season, I was reminded once again of how incredible Walt Disney was as a man, and especially as an artist. With fifty nine individual nominations for Academy Awards and twenty six wins, Walt Disney is the most nominated and biggest winner on the big stage. With so much hardware on the shelf it seems appropriate that we look back on some of the greatest moments in Disney award wins, both in Walt’s lifetime and in his legacy...

Dapper Day: Disney’s Ultimate Throwback

By Lindsey Allmon


On my last vacation to Disney World I wore the exact same thing every single day: Shorts, a Disney tank top, sneakers and sunglasses. The rest of my family wore a similar uniform, as did ninety nine percent of the rest of the population of Disney at the time. And why not? A summer in Florida is broiling hot and a day at Disney requires miles of walking. It only makes sense that you would be comfortable. However, when the designers of Disney initially imagined the attendees of the parks, shorts and tanks were simply not up to par with their expectations. Now one group is trying to bring style back to the Disney parks. Continue after the page break to learn more about the event that has everyone dressed to the nines: Dapper Day...

Tomorrowland is Today: Technology at Disney World

By Lindsey Allmon


There are some things that are inherently Disney: Mickey bars, cherubic Small World figurines, and a dedication to an atmosphere that transports you to another world. While these are treasured constants about the most Wonderful Place on Earth, there has been and always will be room for growth. Walt Disney was always a poster child for innovation and revolutionary ideas and in his absence the Disney Corporation has kept on with his legacy.
