Pixar Has a Movie Coming out About Death, and the First Promo Alone Is Way Too Much

If you enjoy Pixar, then you, like the rest of us, have begun to realize that their writers and creators sustain themselves on the tears of their viewers.

Between the beginning of Up, pretty much every moment of Toy Story (all of them), the short film Lava, and BingBong’s death in Inside Out, I’m a blubbering mess of tears just thinking about subjecting myself to another one.

So when I heard they were making a movie called Soul – which is about death – well, I…I’m honestly just not sure I’ll be able to handle it.

The film stars Jamie Foxx and will follow Joe, a middle school band teacher who dreams of playing jazz music in a NYC club before he dies.

He gets a gig…and then dies falling in a manhole cover.

That’s just the beginning of the movie, you guys.

After that, he finds himself at the You Seminar – the pace where we all get our souls – and meets Tina Fey (who is likely to be iconic, because duh), but honestly we don’t know too much about where the plot will go from there.

Yet.

The animation looks amazing, of course, and the writing will be stellar. If, you know, I’m able to hear and appreciate all of that over the sound of our collective sobs.

May the odds be ever in our favor.

This Is Why ‘Walt Disney World’ Got Walt’s Name and Disneyland Didn’t

There are a lot of differences between Disney World and Disneyland. One small difference that you may not even be aware of is in their names. Disney World’s full name is Walt Disney World, while Disneyland is just Disneyland. What’s up with that?

Let’s start at the beginning: Disneyland came first. It opened in 1955 in California. The name, Disneyland, was likely chosen because it was a natural choice for a theme park at the time. Other contemporary parks bear names like “Fairyland” or “Playland,” so “Disneyland” just makes sense.

Over a decade later in 1966, Walt Disney released a promotional video to announce that there would be a second Disney theme park in Florida. This one would be called Disney World, likely because it was on a much bigger plot of land than Disneyland.

It’s not clear why he went with two words for Disney World, while Disneyland is just one word, other than the fact that “Disneyworld” doesn’t look quite right.

Disney World wasn’t originally going to have Walt’s first name attached, but he passed away in December 1966, before the park even got into the construction phase. His brother, Roy Disney, postponed his  own retirement to help out with the Disney World project, and he decided to add Walt’s name to the park as a tribute.

And that, folks, is the only reason that one of the parks’ names has Walt in the title – as a tribute from a sibling to his recently deceased brother.

This Mom Thinks People with No Kids Shouldn’t Be Welcome at Disney Parks

We all know the lines are long and there are too many people at Disney on any given day, but why should the single people be the ones to stay away? Who says Disney is only for kids?

This lady, I guess, but from the sound of most of the responses, not a whole lot of others.

She says:

It pisses me off TO NO END!!!!!!

When I see CHILDLESS COUPLES WITHOUT AT DISNEY WORLD!!!!! DW is a FAMILY amusement park!!!! Yet these IMMATURE millennials THROW AWAY THEIR MONEY ON USELESS CRAP!!!!

They have NO idea the JOY and HAPPINESS it is to MOTHERS WHO BUYS THEIR BABIES TREATS AND TOYS!!!! THEY WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE THE EXHAUSTION THAT IT IS TO CHASE A 3 YEAR OLD AROUND AND GETTING STARES AT ASSUMING IM A BAD MOTHER!!!! This c*nt in some very SLUTTY shorts was buying a Mickey pretzel and Aiden wanted one but the line was very long so I said later and it broke his poor little heart and he cried I WANTED TO TAKE THAT FUCKING PRETZEL FROM THAT TRAMP LIKE THANKS BITCH YOU MADE MY SON CRY!!! DW is for CHILDREN!!!!

People without CHILDREN need to be BANNED!!!! Mothers with children should be allowed to skip ALL THE LINE!!!! YOU HAVE NO F*CKING IDEA WHAT ITS LIKE TO HAVE TO STAND IN LINE FOR 3 HOURS WITH A CRANKY TIRED EXHAUSTED TODDLER!!!!! AND I CANT JUST TELL HIM THAT WE CANT DO SOMETHING BECAUSE ITS HIS VACATIN TOO!!!!

I f*cking hate childless women with a BURNING PASSION!!!!

Well… that happened.

As someone whose parents never took her to Disney, and who visited for the first time as a college student, I join in giving her the collective finger.

Along with all of these fine people:

Because, honestly, she’s an embarrassment.

Or maybe some xanax?

Or maybe she’s drunk?

Here’s the bottom line…

Do what you do, go where you like, and love what you love.

Full stop.

Disney World Is Teaming up with Cirque DU Soleil for Its a New Show

Get ready! Disney and Cirque du Soleil are teaming up for the first time in over 20 years!

Disney announced that they’ll be producing a Cirque show for Disney Springs, a shopping area near Walt Disney World in Florida. The show is a collaborative effort between Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Cirque du Soleil is the largest theatrical producer in the world, and if you’ve ever been to a Cirque show, then you already know how magical they are. It’s not your average ringed circus — the shows are typically set to music and a theme, and they each sell a story throughout the performance. Plus, there are super impressive stunts and acrobatics.

Disney is no stranger to these types of shows. In fact, they produce very similar shows for their parks on a regular basis, so this team-up makes total sense.

“For more than 60 years, we’ve been bringing Disney stories and characters to life in our theme parks around the world,” Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Bob Chapek said. “Now our teams at Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios have joined with Cirque du Soleil to create an entirely new experience that will wow Walt Disney World guests and bring timeless, enchanting Disney stories to life in an unforgettable new way.”

The new show has yet to receive an official title, but according to reporters who were at Disney’s presentation, it will have an animation theme, which is very fitting for Disney.

“New animation sequences will be created for the new Cirque du Soleil show. And the live performers will interact with the animated characters,” Ashley Carter wrote. “The story revolves around a young girl who gets sent into the world of animation.”

Tickets are already on sale for the show. Previews start in March 2020, and it opens in April.

Snow White Soothed a Boy with Autism at Disney World

Brody Bergner do very well around strangers, but he was looking forward to visiting Disney World.

Photo Credit: Needpix

Lauren (his mom) talked to Brody for months about what her 6 year old with autism could expect when he got there. But, knowing how sensitive her son is to crowded and noisy places, she knew she could expect at least a couple of meltdowns.

So, while waiting to meet Snow White toward the end of a full day of park hopping, Lauren could sense her tired and overstimulated boy was heading for a breakdown.

She told Today, “Brody was overheated, sweating and overwhelmed by everything. He just started crying.”

Then something happened that changed everything.

I am so emotional with these pictures !! Brody was having a meltdown . It was our turn to take pictures with her and he…

Posted by Lauren Bergner on Sunday, August 25, 2019

Snow White could see immediately that Brody was non-verbal and had special needs.

In her post, Lauren writes,

“She kissed, hugged and cuddled him. She then took him for a walk away from the crowd! She was amazing. She held his hand , danced with him , took him over to a bench and sat with him . She went above and beyond !! She took so much time with him .She was a pure angel ! She was magical and my family is forever thankful and touched !”

Lauren’s Facebook post, with pictures of Brody and Show White, was shared over 100,000 times.

She and her husband, Bill, were awed at how quickly Brody connected with the Disney princess.

Posted by Lauren Bergner on Sunday, August 25, 2019

Fearing, at one point, that the crowd would grow impatient with their family for holding up their Snow White encounters, Lauren turned around only to see everyone break into applause.

“It was this magical moment that we will never, ever forget,” she said.

And, that’s how, on a sweltering, hot day in the middle of Florida, a small boy met his princess.

Here Are Some Tweets About Spiderman Leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe

You were probably as shell-shocked as the rest of us were to learn that Disney’s rift with Sony meant that Tom Holland’s Spiderman (arguably the best iteration) would be getting the boot.

In order to make everyone laugh (to keep from crying), the internet has come through with some pitch-perfect tweets and memes.

13. Meme perfection.

12. Basically.

11. A common enemy is a powerful thing.

10. It’s extra rough when you can’t even drink.

9. The web-rope isn’t that strong.

8. I mean, if Stan Lee said it…

7. Chump change.

6. Just do it.

5. You’d think they’d learn.

4. I can see it.

3. Kids, man.

2. I can’t.

1. This made me laugh so hard.

It doesn’t take the hurt away, but it does help a little bit!
