The new animatronic characters for Tiana's Bayou Adventure are amazing. They are so smooth and realistic. Recently, Jennifer Lewis, the voice of Mama Odie, had her first look at the animatronic character. Her excitement is contagious!
Tiana's Bayou Adventure opens this summer in Disney World and later this year in Disneyland.
The trailer for Jim Henson Idea Manhas arrived and it looks amazing. Most of us grew up watching a Jim Henson production: from Sesame Street and The Muppets, to Labyrinthor Dark Crystal, there was something for everyone. I can't wait to watch this DisneyPlus special that goes behind the scenes of Jim's creative life.
"Jim Henson Idea Man" takes us into the mind of this singular creative visionary, from his early years puppeteering on local television to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond. Featuring unprecedented access to Jim's personal archives, filmmaker Ron Howard brings us a fascinating and insightful look at a complex man whose boundless imagination inspired the world.
Jim Henson Idea Man arrives on DisneyPlus on May 31st.
Star Wars Day is just around the corner and that means a few new special themed treats will begin appearing at Disney World. Most of these delicious delights will be available from May 4-31.
