Walt Disney’s Latest Animated Short is a Feast for All the Senses

by
#Feast #BigHero6Bloggers

My parents love telling me about how when they were kids, movies only cost a nickel. And you wouldn’t just get to watch one major film but there’d be all sorts of news clips, weekly adventure serials and even some shorts beforehand. Somewhere along the line, shorts have made a comeback. Thanks, Disney! There are familiar characters (like Mike and Sully from Monsters University or the upcoming Frozen Fever), but more recently, Disney has started …

Talking with the Real Life Inspiration Behind McFarland USA

by
#McFarlandUSAEvent

Sure meeting Kevin Costner is a pretty memorable moment. Especially when you get to spend a good 15 to 20 minutes with him discussing his latest film McFarland USA. But I have to say, it was just as cool meeting Jim White and the Diaz Brothers (Danny, David and Damacio) in person.

Humble. Completely and unabashedly humble. That’s Kevin Costner in a nutshell. The 60-year-old award-winning actor is as even keeled and down to earth in person as he is in many of the roles he’s played in his vast acting career. This is the guy who built a ball field in the middle of Iowa so he could have a catch with his dad. The man who danced with wolves and led a band of merry …

The Disney Channel Offers Up a Bad Hair Day That’s Worth Having

by
Bad Hair Day

I’m a guy, so I don’t think I’ve ever really had a bad hair day. Personally, however, I’ve probably had a Bad Hair Life. I can remember back to high school when my hairline actually started receding and my bald spot first reared its ugly head. But despite all that, I’ve never had to worry about my hair getting too frizzy or too flat. Women, on the other hand, don’t just have to dress for …
