The Princess and the Frog, the next Disney Animation, welcomes its villain’s voice. Keith David is to voice the villain Dr. Facilier of the new feature.

He is not new to Disney animation as he already voiced the characters; Goliath, the leader of Disney’s “Gargoyles” animated series, Apollo in “Hercules” (Disney spin-off series), Tublat in “The Legend of Tarzan” series and he took over the vocal performance for James Earl Jones’s Mufasa for “House of Mouse”.

We all know that Disney isn’t only for the kids, its for adults too. Now Disney will have their newest celebrity, Remy from the movie Ratatouille, shine on bottles of wine.

Disney has faced a challenge in marketing the film, which has a strange name, an unusual premise (a rat who loves gourmet food), and a lead character that doesn’t lend itself to cuddly stuffed animals. In response, the company is looking for other ways to capitalize on the film’s success. Much of this alternative merchandizing centers on food, such as branded kitchen utensils and tableware. The Ratatouille branded French chardonnay will be sold only at Costco stores, at $12.99 per bottle. The wine goes on sale in August. (Join Together)

Sounds strange to me to promote wine with a rat, even if it is a lovable rat from a Disney Animation. Anyways, anybody drinking the wine, please do so in moderation and let me know if it is any good.

It was a little disturbing to read the news about a pipe bomb found in Downtown Disney. I always ask myself what those people think when placing devices like this. What do they want to achieve or what are their goals or motivations to do these things. What is their message and how can they think that their action can have any positive impact on their behalf. Especially placing a bomb near a location where many children and families are trying to get away from all the daily obligations, tasks and thoughts to have some quality time and fun together… How can anybody think this is a good thing for themselves, or their believes.

Luckily the device went of without anybody near it and nobody was injured. Let’s hope this was a one of event and will not be something we Disney guests (or anybody else for that matter) will have to deal with in the future. Hopefully proof of those responsible placing the bomb can be found and caught!
