Another show titled Are You Brave Enough ? - Attention... Méchants! is played at the Catle Stage.



Let's move to Frontierland where the Halloween decor inspired by Pixar "Coco" characters and the pumpkin men are back this year.


























Some pics of Halloween themed merchandise and plushs sold in Frontierland shops.







DLP did some specially Halloween themed menus duriing the season, and there is a great bucket with Oogey Boogey.








I also remind you that DLP launched for Halloween at the Walt Disney Studios park - but apparently they will keep it - a new version of Tower of Terror. The decor remain the same but during the elevator ride itself there is plenty of things new and especially new random drops, everyone agree that the ride has never been so good so don't miss it!

Official Trailer 2 and Characters Posters or The Mandalorian , Game of Thrones Creator No Longer Writing New Star Wars Trilogy



The Official Trailer 2 for The Mandalorian is released and it looks not bad at all...  The series is streaming Nov. 12, only on Disney + !




Five characters posters were also released for The Mandalorian.











Always about Star Wars Variety revealed today that “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss who were hired by Lucasfilm to write the story of the future new Star Wars trilogy ( Episode 10, 11 and 12 ) will no longer write or produce a trilogy of “Star Wars” movies. The pair attributed the departure to their upcoming Netflix projects.



The deal was announced back in February 2018. The new series would have been separate from the main episodic Skywalker saga that started with “Star Wars: A New Hope” and is slated to wrap up with 2019’s “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker.” It would also have existed independently from a Rian Johnson-helmed series that was announced last year.

The first movie of the series was scheduled for a Dec. 16, 2022 release in May. Two more “Star Wars” films would have come out in 2024 and 2026. It is unclear whether those releases will remain unchanged.

Weiss and Benioff’s pact with Netflix came after an intense bidding war between the streamer, Amazon, and Disney. Little regarding the pair’s upcoming projects has been reported. More about this on Variety HERE.

65 Years Ago on ABC Television Walt Disney Announced Disneyland to the World



On that day, October 27, in 1954, nine months before the opening of Disneyland, Walt announced on the ABC television network a TV series that would present his new park, Disneyland, bringing the worlds from his movies, characters and ambitions to life.

Walt Disney utilized the broad reach of television to show viewers around the country why Disneyland would be unlike any place on earth to visit. This was groundbreaking, as it was the first time anyone utilized the power of television to showcase a new business venture in such detail, in this case a theme park, to a national audience. This was also a large risk for Walt – to feature his ideas on television. However, the venture with ABC Television Network was a success. Of 54.6 million television sets in use, 52% were tuned into the showing, meaning some 28.4 million television sets were tuned in and watching. In addition, the first season was so well received it won the Emmy for Best Variety Series. 

Each episode promoted the hopes and dreams of Walt Disney. In the first episode titled “The Disneyland Story,” viewers were given a birds-eye-view tour of the inner workings of The Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Then, Walt captivated the audience by describing the location of Disneyland in Anaheim, detailing what would be found in this groundbreaking theme park. He also shared how the park would be a world of imagination and innovation to all who visit. As he stated, Disneyland would be, “a place of hopes and dreams, facts and fancy all in one.” Each following week, Walt gave “progress reports” of his park featuring segments on the Disneyland realms – or different lands: Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland and Frontierland.

Disney Parks released the short video below with footage from the first original TV series, in which we can find the original artworks by Bruce Bushman or Herb Ryman showing each land of Disneyland as well as each land logo and footage showing the Main Street model. I did screen captures of each that you can find below, as well as this fun picture on the top inspired by the a-bit-too-famous 1917 James Montgomery Flagg Uncle Sam poster done to recruit Americans soldiers for the U.S army. After all, with this 1954 presentation, Walt also sent the message that he wanted all of us to come to Disneyland...
