There is perhaps nothing more synergistic than Disney animated features and theme parks. The parks are loaded with rides based on movies, restaurants based on movies, shops that sell merchandise from the movies, an entire attraction called “The Magic of Disney Animation” which is about the making of the movies. Without animation, there would be […]

Claim Your Dumbo
I love paying attention to the detales. Im extremeley detail oriented. I am self-diagnosed with OCD, which means I just offended everyone who is professionally diagnosed with OCD.

With all the die-hard fan sites out there, it’s hard to find anything that has never been written about in some shape or form, but we do […]
