D23!!!!! Disney New Releases.

This past week was very big for anyone who loves all things Disney. Disney has released major news at its Expo: D23. So, I am going to say grab a few rice balls because we need to discuss.  For those that do not know.  Disney holds its own convention where it premieres all its new movies, games, and future plans for the theme parks or just anything Disney. I of course am not going to go into everything mentioned during the expo but there are somethings that are worth mentioning.

What good would a Disney Expo be if it did not talk about upcoming movies?  Pixar and Disney Animation showcased an overview of the many movies that will be coming out in the 2015-16 year. Working toward the idea of diversity and inclusion, Disney discussed in detail the movie, "Moana". This is the new movie introducing the first Polynesian Princess. YAY!!! POC!!!! This is big for anyone of Pacific Island decent. Disney ran with this idea in picking their actors. Why not get the #1 celebrity of Pacific Island blood to star in the movie. Yes, I am talking about, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. This obviously was not the only movie discussed. Pixar also gave detail to big names such as Star Wars, Gigantic, The Good Dinosaur, Zootopia, Pirates of the Caribbean, Finding Dory (Finding Nemo 2), Frozen 2, and Toy Story 4!!! Its gonna be a big year for Disney movies. Especially, "Finding Dory" voiced none to than  Ellen Degeneres. 

Notice none of those movies include whats going on at Marvel (which had a separate presentation.) Crazy!!! I know!! In the Marvel presentation the movies Captain America, Black Panther, and Dr. Strange were given more detail to the plot. Disney studios also talked about many of its short films and a particular short film showing the journey of Walt Disney himself.  I love short films!!! They have the best stories.  I am ecstatic to see what beauty comes from these new animated shorts.

 If your a Broadway fan like myself. the next big Disney on Broadway will be Frozen. This does not excite me as much as the lead up to this announcement. Having the Broadway actors "The Originals" come out and sing songs from all different plays and movies. The would have been a better announcement if you ask me. a Broadway of just The Originals. But I'm just a idealistic dreamer. Lol.


Other big news at D23. Disney will be adding a STAR WARS THEMED LAND to Walt Disney World!!!!! This is amazing for any nerd or fan of the Star Wars franchise. You will be able to engulf yourself in the force. Fight light vs dark. Its going to be Dope! The ride possibilities in itself are enough to get anyone of any age excited. This is huge, and I am sure that Disney will do it right. I am excited to see what Disney magic will add to the Star Wars universe. Here's some concept art for what the park will look like.

In the video game realm, big news for all Kingdom Heart fans. The most infuriatingly anticipated game is finally coming out for the PS4 & Xbox One. Yes, I am speaking of KH3. Finally, the third installment for the main console, Kingdom Hearts game is finally in serious production and Disney along with Square-Enix is doing big things with the game. Personally, Kingdom Hearts still remains to be one of the best games I have ever played. Do not get me wrong. Its does have its cons, along with its pros but overall the franchise continues to peak my interest along with many others. The story-line tends to get a little confusing. The transition to the handheld made the story-line all the more difficult to follow but overall the game play is still amazing and the game itself is fun. It looked to be well worth the wait. But, outside of what was already showed at E3, (fighting style, new Tangled world, and new powers and graphics) KH3 made a big announcement the other day.

Yes!!!! KH3 will be incorporating a BIG HERO 6 WORLD!!!!! OMG!!! I am a huge big Hero 6 fan. One of Pixar's gems in its treasure chest. So now both franchises are able to give fans the greatness of Kingdom Hearts and BAYMAX!!!! Check it out below.
