The celebration of 70 years of Walt Disney’s Comics continues as the Donald Duck "Pirate Gold" trilogy reaches its exciting conclusion!

Scrooge McDuck is in for two times the trouble in a double-feature of classic stories! Witness dumb animal tricks gone wrong when Scrooge's money bin is plundered in the 1968 Romano Scarpa classic “The Pilfering Pelicans!” Then, the feathers really fly when Scrooge sets out to trap a bear in order to impress old friends from the Klondike…but the bear has other ideas. See this all unfold in the never-before-seen in the US tale “Scrappy Mettle” by Daan Jippes.

It's a Carl Barks/Don Rosa Donald Duck double feature! First up is Barks’ "The Mysterious Stone Ray” followed by Rosa’s "Cash Flow!" Carl Barks’ "The Mysterious Stone Ray” takes Scrooge on an ocean voyage for his health, where he ends up discovering an island full of petrified Beagle Boys…and the spindly scientist who made them that way! Then, back in Duckburg, Rosa’s "Cash Flow!" details another Beagle plot as they plan to literally liquidate all of Scrooge's assets. Two classic Duck artists and two classic Duck stories that are not-to-be-missed.

The celebration of 70 years of Walt Disney’s Comics continues with a slew of classic stories perfect for the beginning of summer! Donald Duck tries to keep Duckburg cool – from global warming, that is – in William Van Horn’s “The Heat of the Moment,” and then Donald takes to the beach with his cousin Fethry in the 1965 Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard “Water Sports” — which has never been printed in the U.S. This issue also includes the Dick Matena-drawn “Pop’s Army” and a classic Al Taliaferro Donald story not seen in the U.S. in over 60 years!

Star Wars Spoof: Space Robots in Outer Space Ep X: Battle for the Halcyon: The Last Starcruiser

Published

on

Sure, Star Wars is cool and all. But let’s not forget about that other multi-part sci-fi cinematic spectacular, “Space Robots in Outer Space.” In fact, Hank Lonely (Hollywood’s ultimate hyphenate — actor / producer / director / writer / guy who makes sure the Porto Potties are kept squeaky-clean) just announced that there’ll soon be a 10th installment of this … Well, not exactly beloved. How about we say “admired from afar” instead? … series coming to a theater near you. In fact, here’s the highly anticipated teaser trailer for that project. Which is supposed to be titled “Space Robots in Outer Space X — Battle for the Halycon: The Last Starcruiser.”

Okay. Now the real story … In honor of Star Wars Day (i.e., May 4th. As in “May the Fourth Be With You”), Len Testa and I are sharing something that we produced with the help of all the nice folks who joined us last month aboard the Halycon.

We turned the Galactic Starcruiser as well as Black Spire Outpost into the backdrop for an affectionate send-up of all things Stars Wars. We hope that you (more importantly, the legal team at Lucasfilm) take this faux trailer in the spirit with which it was intended. Special thanks to Aaron Adams for so skillfully stitching all of this footage together. Also thanks to the team at Storybook Destinations, Touring Plans and the talented cast & crew aboard the “Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser” for making this “Disney Dish” fan event so memorable.

Wreck-It Ralph 2

When “Wreck-It Ralph” opened on Nov. 2, 2012, it turned in the highest opening weekend ever for a Walt Disney Animation Studios film at the time of release. Now Disney is hoping Ralph will not only break the Internet but the 2018 Thanksgiving boxoffice records as well.

The film re-teams the original director, producer and co-writer behind “Wreck-It Ralph.”  The screenplay is currently being written by Phil Johnston and Pamela Ribon. Director Rich Moore, producer Clark Spencer, and co-writer Phil Johnston partnered with fellow director Byron Howard and co-writer/co-director Jared Bush to create the Academy Award®-winning blockbuster feature “Zootopia.”

ROYAL REUNION – In “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck It Ralph 2,” Vanellope von Schweetz-along with her best friend Ralph-ventures into the uncharted world of the internet. When she finds herself surrounded by Disney princesses, she’s surprised to learn that she actually has a lot in common with them. The scene, highlighted in a new trailer for the film (below), features several of the original princess voices, including Auli’i Cravalho (“Moana”), Kristen Bell (Anna in “Frozen”), Idina Menzel (Elsa in “Frozen”), Kelly MacDonald (Merida in “Brave”), Mandy Moore (Rapunzel in “Tangled”), Anika Noni Rose (Tiana in “The Princess and the Frog”), Ming-Na Wen (“Mulan”), Irene Bedard (“Pocahontas”), Linda Larkin (Jasmine in “Aladdin”), Paige O’Hara (Belle in “Beauty and the Beast”) and Jodi Benson (Ariel in “The Little Mermaid”). Featuring Sarah Silverman as the voice of Vanellope, “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck It Ralph 2” opens in theaters nationwide Nov. 21, 2018.
