Tangled French...

Yo, woman, let down yer hair...


And gimmie some money...






No, I'm not talking about my inability to talk to Alain over at Disney and More in his native tongue...

Here is the French poster for "Rapunzel" that has been released. That's right, it's called by its original name internationally, but not here in America. Dang those boys for not liking Princesses!

Wait till they become teenagers, then they'll like them...

Quality Is In the Ingredients From New Chef...

My good friend Alain over at Disney and More has some important news for you...



It appears that during the 20th Anniversary of the Disneyland Paris Resort, Walt Disney Studios, Paris' Second Gate will receive a new attraction. Not just any attraction but an E-Ticket. What ride will it be? Well, being this is France and it's a theme park about films coming from the Mouse, what attraction would you think it would be about?



That's right, it's an attraction based on that lovable rodent in Brad Bird's "Ratatouille" from Pixar. And it's going to be a very detailed, layered in theming attraction. It's going to use that trackless system that we've seen in Tokyo on "Pooh's Hunny Hunt" and in the coming "Mystic Manor" in Hong Kong. I've heard bits and pieces about this attraction since it was in early blue sky over a year ago, but my Bothan connections regarding Disney's European adventures now works for someone else. Rats. Uh, oh, I didn't mean it like that. Wanna know more? Go over and check out Alain's great article.



Finally a Tokyo Disney Resort quality attraction coming for a park that really needs it to stand out. Now maybe they can redo that front entrance like their redoing DCA's...

Là-Haut Poster...

The French blog "Buzz & Cie" has gotten an image of the French poster for "Up." It is nice, no?

Wee...

In Memorium: Jules Verne...

On this day...

One hundred and three years ago, Imagination fades a bit as French writer Jules Verne, the original "Steampunk" author and inspiration for many Disney films and attractions passes away in France.

Great minds leave behind trails... he leaves behind whole worlds.

Toon Disney Makes Monsters...

Toon Disney has picked up the CGI animated series: "Monster Buster Club" from France's Marathon production house for broadcast next season on the cable channel.


The plot of the animated series follows a group of four 10 year olds Kathy, Sam, Danny and Chris who are battling an alien invasion of their small town.

Turns Out France Has Great Taste...

Pixar's "Ratatouille" opened big in France this week.

Says Variety: "In Gaul, "Ratatouille" enjoyed a phenomenal bow, gobbling up a very impressive $11.4 million on 721 in its first five days. The Paris-set pic benefited from excellent reviews.".

But I'm sure people around the web will find something bad to say about this. "The glass is half-empty" crowd will nit-pick the story to death. Go right ahead ya bunch of Eeyores... I'm sticking to the sunny side of the street. If you would like to read the rest of the article you can judge for yourself.
