Disney has created many different princesses over the years, with the company being well-known for creating excellent female characters. They all have very different stories and personalities, making them feel unique, and people will often argue over which character is the best. Both Princess Jasmine (Aladdin), and Belle (Beauty and the Beast), are often two that come up in that conversation. They’re both key parts of two of Disney’s greatest ever movies, princess or not, and they are both well developed throughout the films....

Disney has officially confirmed the start of production on director Tim Burton’s live-action Dumbo movie. It was Burton’s own live-action Alice in Wonderland adaptation (which was released in 2010) that kicked off the current trend of the Mouse House re-making its animated classics in live-action.

A study has raised an interesting question: what should happen to our digital legacy: the data we leave behind after we die? The question was prompted by the calculation that, before the end of the century, Facebook will have more dead users than living ones … The Guardian reports on the study. That raises questions about whether our digital legacy should be retained, and if so, for how long? Facebook currently allows the account of a deceased person to be memorialized....

Disney’s Talespin was one of those weird 1990’s cartoons that just sits in the back of your brain, eating away at your sub-conscience while it grows mold in that dusty corner in your mind. All while you think “WTF was that show with the bear piloting an airplane?” That was Talespin, one of Disney Channel’s startup shows where they took a classic Disney movie character and put them in an out of place non-canonical scenario....

It sometimes feels as though a fresh story about a live-action remake/re-imagining of a Disney animated classic breaks every week nowadays. For example, the Mouse House recently announced its plans to develop a new version of The Lion King - with The Jungle Book (2016) director Jon Favreau overseeing the project - before, shortly thereafter, settling on an official release date for a live-action adaptation of its 1998 animated film, Mulan....

[UPDATE: Georgia’s governor has decided to veto the proposed bill. Read on for Disney’s response.] - Disney and Marvel Studios’ upcoming blockbuster Captain America: Civil War features the company’s mega-popular superheroes breaking-up friendships and choosing side over a controversial new law - one that Iron Man insists is necessary for world security but The Captain himself feels is a violation of he and his fellow superhero’s civil rights. But now, in a surprising case of life (potentially) imitating art, the superhero studio has taken a stand against a real-life controversial law - one that could endanger the previously-lucrative partnership the studio enjoys with the state of Georgia, specifically the Pinewood Studios installation (where films like Ant-Man and Civil War itself were shot)....

After Disney fired James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (and, by extension, the entire MCU) due to a series of controversial tweets the writer/director had written nearly a decade ago, the response has been divisive, to say the least. In fact, Disney may well have defined the MCU for its foreseeable future on account of their decision. Between 2008 and 2012, Gunn had written a number of tweets intended to be humorous that referred to both pedophilia and rape....

Tony Stark’s story has certainly been compelling, but it has considerably changed in the years since Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment - and that much is evident by Iron Man 3. Shortly after Marvel Studios broke new ground with Jon Favreau’s first Iron Man movie in 2008, and thus created a new type of shared universe on the big screen, The Walt Disney Company swooped in and purchased Marvel, but it wasn’t until a few years later that Disney’s influence really started to become apparent....

Disney has been bringing its feature films to life since 1937, and every movie drives the company closer to a new era. You might have heard of the Disney Renaissance before, which refers to the animated films released between 1989 and 1999 including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Tarzan. What you might not have realized is that this isn’t the only Disney age. Before the Disney Renaissance struck there was The Golden Age, The Wartime Era, and then — The Silver Age....
