The Muppet Show Theme

The Muppet Show Theme
Jim Henson Company

Isn't it funny how a single song can take you back to your childhood? I loved watching The Muppet Show as a child. The Muppets were wild and crazy and you never knew quite what they'd get up to in each episode. And it was always fun to see the guest stars and the insanity they'd get pulled into. I hope the new special is the start of a new era for The Muppet Show.


The Muppet Show is available now on DisneyPlus.

The Princess Diaries Quote

Disney

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all."

Donald Duck Topiary

Donald Duck Topiary

Every spring, fun new character topiaries appear throughout EPCOT for the International Flower and Garden Festival. This Donald Duck topiary, with the adorable bee on his forehead, was near Connections in 2024. I wonder which characters will be featured this year?

Scream 7

Don't ask me why, but I love the Scream series. I remember previewing the first film, back when theaters used actual film reels, with a small group of friends after midnight. We were all debating who would turn out to be the killer. (I was half right.) When it opened officially the next night, I watched it again just to see the audience's reactions. 

The kiddo has come to love them just as much as I do, so when Scream 6 arrived in theaters, we headed to the drive-in to watch it. It's a completely different experience watching a scary movie at a drive-in. You are definitely more aware of anything moving past you in the dark. It was a lot of fun! 

The latest movie in the series sees the return of Sidney Prescott. This time, the Ghostface killer is after her daughter.


Here's the official synopsis from Paramount

Everything has led to this. When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.

Olaf Draws!

Olaf Draws!

An exciting new experience is coming to Hollywood Studios in Disney World this summer. The current home of Star Wars: Launch Bay is going back to its roots as a home to art and animation. The revamped building will be topped by Mickey's sorcerer hat in a nod to the Roy E. Disney Animation Building in California. From special character Meet & Greets, to an art gallery that comes to life, and a playground indpired by Mary Blair's vision of Alice in Wonderland, there will be magic around every corner in "The Magic of Disney Animation". But the part I'm looking forward to most involves a certain talking snowman. 

Olaf Draws! will feature everyone's favorite magical snowman as an all-new Audio-Animatronics figure. Olaf invites guests into a space inspired by a scene in Once Upon A Studio where he took a little time to try out an Animator's desk. There will be sleigh-themed tables for kids and animator-style desks for the young at heart. And, with a little help from some legendary Disney Animation artists, Olaf and his new friends will learn to draw a Disney character. 


Pre-recorded artist videos will guide guests through the process of drawing classic and modern Disney characters. Sketching classes include:
  • Mickey Mouse with Dan Abraham, director (Once Upon A Studio, Baymax!)
  • Minnie Mouse, with Hyun Min Lee, animator (Frozen 2, The Princess and the Frog)
  • Donald Duck, with Austin Traylor, animator (Once Upon A Studio, Moana 2)
  • Genie, with Eric Goldberg, animator (Aladdin, Hercules)
  • Moana, with Samantha Vilfort, story artist (Encanto, Zootopia 2)
  • Stitch, with Fawn Veerasunthorn, director and head of story (Wish, Raya and the Last Dragon)
  • Olaf, with Trent Correy, director (Once Upon A Studio, Frozen 3)
  • Ursula, with Michael Woodside, animator (Big Hero 6, Encanto)
  • Judy Hopps & Nick Wilde, with Byron Howard director, (Zootopia, Zootopia 2)
The Magic of Disney Animation

There's a lot to look forward to in "The Magic of Disney Animation". I can't wait to check it out when it opens in late summer.
