One of the most amazing animatronic shows at Disney World is "The American Adventure" in EPCOT. It tells the story of America with multiple scenes and figures from history. This video gives a behind-the-scenes look at the Imagineering that goes into such an incredible show.
In celebration of Illumination'sMinions & Monsters, Amaury Guichon has created a fun display out of chocolate. James the Minion is being terrorized by Irene, a multi-eyed blob creature. It's so cute it's scary.
Rizzo the Rat is back to give us his own version of a tour of the newly reimagined Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets (with a little help from Robin and Yolanda.) As you'd expect from Rizzo, there's something a little bit off about his "Totally Authorized Tour", but it's still quite fun.
Join Imagineers for a trip through the newly refreshed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Imagineers added new lighting and audio, refurbished over 20 figures in the town of Tumbleweed, and added new track and passenger trains for a smoother ride. Are you ready for the "Wildest Ride in the Wilderness"?
I look forward each year to the wild and crazy Christmascommercials that retailers have created. They are sometimes fun, and sweet, and poignant, but always a delightful Christmas treat.
This first video is from Barbour, who has partnered with Aardman once again for a Wallace and Gromit commercial that is absolutely hilarious.
Asda shows how the Grinch would feel if he had to go shopping for Christmas this year.
Dawn French is back once again (as herself and the Christmas fairy) for Marks & Spencer. This year, she's "traffic jamming."
Waitrose's "The Perfect Gift" is long for an ad, but absolutely hilarious! This mini romcom between a very unexpected couple had us cracking up.
Sainsbury's brought the BFG back again this year for another Christmas adventure.
Aldi has returned once again to the story of Kevin the Carrot with three short ads inspired by Love Actually. This year, Kevin makes a very special proposal.
But will he make it to the wedding?
Of course, there's a happy ending.
Chevy's "Memory Lane" commercial is surprisingly sweet.
Erste Bank has a beautiful new "believe" ad. This year's theme is "believe in yourself."
And finally, Capital One brought back John Travolta as Santa for "Greased Sleigh-Ridin".
Soarin' is getting another update next year. For a limited time, in both Disneyland and Disney World, it will become Soarin' Across America in honor of our 250th birthday. Imagineers are currently working hard to capture more than 12 new locations from sea to shining sea. And, of course, everyone's favorite chief flight attendant will be returning for this new version.
Amaury Guichon's latest Disney chocolate sculpture was inspired by Beauty and the Beast, which has always been my favorite fairytale. He created both an incredible chocolate enchanted rose under a sugar dome and a very lifelike Lumiere.
Gorgeous, right? I can't wait to see what design he creates next.
This year, your favorite Cereal Monsters have a new look. Count Chocula, Franke Berry, and Boo Berry have been Muppet-ized. In addition to this hilarious video of their photo shoot, their new look will be featured on the cereal boxes.
The boxes should begin arriving in stores this week. A limited edition fuzzy Franken Berry box will be released on October 7th, exclusively at Walmart.com.
Seventy years ago today, Walt Disney gave the dedication speech that officially opened the "Happiest Place on Earth". Disneyland been bringing joy to children and adults ever since.
Duuuuuude, this is one totally awesome chocolate sculpture from Amaury Guichon. Crush looks like he's surfing the big blue. As Crush would say, it's righteous!
As part of the Muppets 70th Anniversary celebrations, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his beleaguered assistant Beeker from the Muppet Labs are here to conduct a field test. They're having fun learning about gravity, with a little help from Mythbuster Adam Savage.
I love watching Amaury Guichon build spectacular creations out of chocolate. It's amazing to see how such simple shapes come together to become something wonderful. His Disney & Pixar designs are definitely my favorite. This Wall-E is fantastic.
Amaury Guichon makes the most stunning sculptures out of chocolate. His latest creation is an enormous Christmas ornament complete with a multi-layer light up scene inside. Amazing!
