Disney Welcomes a Brave and Passionate Merida into a Disney Princess Royal Court
Gymnastics Gold Medalist, Gabby Douglas Hosts Royal Celebration With Her Mom At Walt Disney World On Mother’s Day Weekend LAKE BUENA …
She’s a categorical Disney impression in what some film critics have called a initial feminist princess movie. But now she’s removing a makeover.
Merida, from Disney’s charcterised film Brave, is described as independent, with a picturesque physique form who does not need to count on a prince. So it seems suiting a red-headed heroine will be crowned Disney’s eleventh central princess Saturday. But not so fast.
Merida has undergone an impassioned makeover for her large day, finish with a slimmed-down demeanour with wider eyes and a new glamorous hair style. And not everybody is happy about it.
“I consider we have to be unequivocally wakeful of a messages we are promulgation to a littlest girls who are Disney’s categorical serf assembly for a princesses,” Beth Kassab, with a Orlando Sentinel, pronounced on Jansing Co. Friday. “I consider what we’re saying is an try by Disney to glam adult a princesses…I consider we’re saying an try to try to constraint a small bit of an comparison audience.”
Critics of Merida’s new look began a petition on change.org, job it “a extensive harm to a millions of children for whom Merida is an lenient purpose indication who speaks to girls’ ability to be change agents in a universe rather than only trophies to be admired.”
Disney downplayed a disastrous greeting to a makeover, revelation MSNBC that Merida’s middle qualities sojourn intact.
“Merida exemplifies what it means to be a Disney Princess by being brave, passionate, and assured and she stays a same clever and dynamic Merida from a film whose middle qualities have desirous moms and daughters around a world,” a Disney orator told MSNBC.
Not everybody is dissapoint with Merida’s new style.
“Certainly, this form of thing is subjective, though I’m, ah…I’m carrying difficulty saying a liaison here,” wrote Kristine Cook from a blog ‘Mama Pop.’ “There’s SLIGHTLY some-more skin around a shoulder, her hair looks combed, and she’s wearing comparatively medium dress, though with some-more bullion things on it. So, um, be furious?”
“I do consider relatives have a shortcoming to guard a messages that are out there and what their children are unprotected to,” pronounced Vanessa Bush, behaving manager of Essence Magazine, to MSNBC’s Richard Lui. “The best thing to do, we think, is to see what they’re watching. Make certain you’re gripping an eye on it. And afterwards if they have questions, to be there to speak about it.”
No sirree. As portrayed with soft-spoken, silky threat by a hypnotizing actor Larry Pine, a male we accommodate in Lucas Hnath’s new play, “A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay About a Death of Walt Disney,” exudes a infrequent cruelty of a child who likes to lift a wings off flies on a playground, only for kicks.
The play, that non-stop during Soho Rep on Thursday night in a glorious prolongation destined by Sarah Benson, presents a blackly comic inversion of a open Disney persona, in a form of a stylized screenplay being review in an anonymous-looking corporate discussion room. (As is mostly a box with this first-class downtown company, a consultant set pattern by Mimi Lien incorporates a audience; we lay on chairs upholstered in bland, feign white fabric and are done to feel like attendees during a shareholder assembly being presided over by a quite cruel arch executive.)
Mr. Pine starts a record by announcing: “I’m Walt Disney. This is a screenplay we wrote. It’s about me.”
But a genuine Walt, who clinging his life to airbrushing divided a world’s imperfections, would frequency be approaching to write this warts-and-feet-of-clay-only self-portrait. On a contrary, Walt would be doing cartoonish gyrations in his grave if he were to see how entirely Mr. Hnath (pronounced nayth) has subverted a renouned design of Disney as America’s joyful paterfamilias, swelling fever with any new enterprise. (In Mr. Hnath’s chronicle of a Disney legend, Walt’s conduct ends adult being cryogenically recorded for posterity, so maybe one day a reconstituted male can offer his possess critique.)
Departing liberally from a chronological record — that cryogenics gossip has been resolutely debunked, for instance — Mr. Hnath is reduction meddlesome in educational a life of a male than he is in excavating new meanings from a arc of his distinguished career. “A Public Reading” is a imagining on a tellurian enterprise to aspire to a standing of a god, and a guileful change of this wish on a suggestion and a flesh.
Written mostly in prolonged streams of staccato dialogue, which, as in Mr. Hnath’s “Isaac’s Eye,” another rarely fictionalized play about a chronological figure, advise a hypercaffeinated David Mamet, a play concentrates on a attribute between Disney and his hermit Roy, played with dispirited subservience by a superb Frank Wood.
Roy is Walt’s sounding house and his primary henchman, approaching to govern Walt’s increasingly desirous dreams with nary a murmur. Walt’s not confident creation all those “fairy tales and angel things” and has motionless to enhance into a “real world,” initial by creation inlet documentaries. (“No one unequivocally wants to stand a mountain,” he grumbles, “cuz who has a time?”) And nonetheless when a lemmings in their design don’t act as lemmings are ostensible to — we know, throwing themselves off cliffs in those lifelike mass suicides — Walt urges Roy to feign it.
Later Roy contingency take a tumble when labor disputes bluster to explode among a animators, fouling a atmosphere in Walt’s ideal world. No dignified peck can be authorised to blacken a repute of a visionary. “People indeed name their children after me,” he adds, after derisive Roy with his analogous worthlessness.
But Walt’s possess family with his daughter, played with simmering rancour by Amanda Quaid, are even some-more unwholesome than those with his brother. With all those small Walts peopling a world, she and her husband, a ex-football actor Ron Miller (Brian Sgambati), had nonetheless declined to respect Dad by fixing any of their sons after him (at slightest until Walt motionless to implement Ron in a association during a energy conflict with Roy).
“Because when we contend your name,” she quietly explains, “I consider all sorts of things we don’t wish to think. When we contend your name, we consider of you, and when we consider of we we get all angry, and when we consider of we and a approach we act, and a approach we yell, and a approach we threw a pretension during my marriage and threw cake during people …”
Mr. Hnath’s discourse infrequently falls into this repetitive, roughly incantatory style, as if it were on a repeat loop. More mostly a outcome is of a record actor skipping, as characters miscarry one another’s utterances, so that their lines of discourse seem to be move on opposite sound tracks. Although this rarely synthetic character can be wearying, a actors do a remarkably good pursuit of giving stroke and expostulate to this incongruous talk, so that a play has a uniformly propulsive transformation of, well, a Monorail during Disneyland.
Since appropriation Marvel for $4 billion in 2009, Disney hasn’t finished a lot in a interactive space – outward of a giveaway Facebook game, Marvel Avengers Alliance. But that’s about to change. And of all places, a joining of Disney, comics and interactivity will start on a journey ship. The Disney Magic, that is being retro-fitted this fall, will set journey in Oct 2013 with a initial interactive captivate featuring Marvel characters designed by Walt Disney Imagineers.
While Disney is still gripping a lot underneath wraps with a new multi-day interactive experience, Avengers Academy, it’s being designed for kids with video diversion role-playing elements built in. The knowledge will take place in a apart vast room aboard a ship’s kids space, a Oceaneer Club. The themed room will residence genuine props from a film, including Iron Man’s suit, Thor’s produce and Captain America’s shield.
“The whole room is automatic so that when a kids get scanned and they get their superpower there will be an concomitant effect,” pronounced Lysa Migliograti, comparison plan manager during Walt Disney Imagineering. “It will be a full knowledge within a whole room. This super favourite energy that they have will be building via a journey as kids sight to turn this super hero. It’s unequivocally fun since it’s an knowledge that takes place via a whole cruise. The counselors will supplement to that knowledge as they work with a kids.”
The room will underline a 103-inch guard that can be used to play movies, including The Avengers. Migliorati pronounced her group is operative on some interactive surprises that will bond these film super heroes with a kids aboard a ship. There will also be additional interactive elements for this experience, that will be disdainful to Disney Magic (for now).
Disney has focused on video games and interactivity with a dual newest journey ships, a Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. With reported costs of $1 billion each, these newest ships, that launched in 2011 and 2012, underline diversion record not even accessible on land. One of a coolest interactive elements – a Magic Play Floor – won’t be partial of a Magic makeover (which will be finished in only 6 weeks and embody a lot some-more than only a Avengers room). we like this diversion building since it allows as many as 32 kids (or 16 adults) to correlate with strange video games from cinema trimming from TRON to Lilo Stitch on 32 HD displays built into a floor. I’m anticipating a Disney Wonder retrofit subsequent year will embody one of these. The Dream and Magic any have dual of them.
Disney is bringing over some of a other video diversion elements from a newer ships. The Magic Play Tables will be partial of a redesign. These video diversion tablets offer multiplayer practice for adult to 4 players with hold shade interactivity. These strange games are all formed on Disney cinema trimming from Cars to Bolt and they’ve been designed for new titles to be combined during any time. It’d be cold to see an Avengers diversion combined to a brew opposite all a ships.
There will also be boat simulators aboard a Magic. These video games underline boat wheels for steering, several buttons and a rigging change for speed. Players can select to commander vessels like a bandit boat or a Disney journey boat by opposite interactive adventures. These are a forms of gaming practice that we can’t get during home.
Going behind to Marvel for a minute, there competence be some people wondering since we haven’t seen any Marvel characters nonetheless in Disney thesis parks. This boat is a initial formation of characters into a Disney experience, after all. Things are still pale with Marvel and Disney thesis parks since of an old, long-term chartering understanding between a comic book hulk and Universal thesis parks that includes disdainful rights for Marvel characters easterly of a Mississippi for thesis park use. Hence, a Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure thesis park, that includes attractions like The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk Coaster and Doctor Doom’s Fearfall. So that would seem to leave Walt Disney World out of a picture.
With a renovations for a Disney Wonder approaching subsequent year, I’d adore to see a Star Wars thesis as well. I’d design Marvel to enhance to a new boat as well, though Star Wars is a code new skill that could serve stretch a Disney journey knowledge from a competition. But for now The Avengers is copiousness for kids of all ages to get vehement about, generally in a wings of Iron Man 3.

Disney has announced that they have sealed a new multi-year agreement to have Electronic Arts Inc (EA) rise and furnish several new Star Wars games. These games will be accessible for all gaming platforms, yet Disney might still rise some games for amicable media or mobile applications.

The latest to join a cadre of startups charity collection for some-more private pity outward of Facebook’s large footprint is not, in fact, another startup, though rather another media giant: Disney. Citing a “rich birthright in storytelling,” Disney’s Interactive division, best famous for games, sites, and practical worlds like “Where’s My Water?,” “Temple Run: Brave,” “Club Penguin,” Disney.com, and more, currently launched a personal, mobile memory builder simply called “Story.”
The new app, that debuts initial on iPhone, takes a photos and videos saved on your device, afterwards automatically organizes them into sharable, though by default, private albums that can also be personalized with captions, calm and several themes and layouts. The albums’ calm is also saved in iCloud, so it can be corroborated adult and synced to other Apple devices.
Separating a collection of photos into albums isn’t accurately a new trick. Practically each photo-management focus today, including Apple’s possess Photos app, allows for some turn of organization. What creates Disney’s app a bit some-more slicing corner is a approach it automatically organizes a calm for we formed on a time and plcae of a photos and videos it finds.
Though a saved digital memories have prolonged given enclosed time, date and plcae information, usually some-more recently have we begun to see a solid tide of newer mobile applications that use that information for organisation photos or formulating common albums with friends. Color was a large instance station out in everyone’s mind of how not to hoop location-based print albums, though others that followed, including Flock, Cluster, Tracks, Flayvr, Moment.me, Everpix, and many more, have been experimenting to varying degrees in this space.
But since of Story’s scrapbooking-esque assessment and customization features, it also shares a likeness to mobile photo-book makers like Mosaic, SimplePrints and KeepShot, for example. Unfortunately, Story stops brief of indeed permitting we to sequence a printed book during a finish of your creation. However, Scott Gerlach, Senior Director of Engineering during Disney Interactive, says that’s something that’s “definitely” being deliberate for a future.
“In a endless usability contrast of Story, we listened clearly from a users that they’d like to squeeze high-quality printed materials for themselves and others,” he tells us, adding that a association is “absolutely looking during opposite options to assistance users share their stories.” Those options might even embody other photo-based gifts, too.
These additional options would expected be combined to Story as in-app purchases alongside other reward facilities a association has in a works, such as upgraded themes, for example. But for now, a app itself is wholly free, with no ads.
Story itself is elementary to use. To serve revise any of Story’s automatically combined albums, we can daub a symbol to supplement some-more content, including photos, videos or text, or change a theme. You can also daub on any particular object to heading it, mislay it, or change a size. You can also drag and dump equipment around to barter their positions in a approach that’s suggestive to what the Kleiner Perkins-backed startup Erly once offered years ago on a web, before it sold to Airtime in Mar 2012.
Once you’ve combined your “story,” we can afterwards email it to your family or friends, or select to share it a bit some-more broadly by posting to Facebook. Stories can also be embedded on your possess website, if we choose.
If there’s any censure with a app, it’s that it has launched usually half-done, notwithstanding carrying a resources of a incomparable house during a disposal. Story would make a many clarity on iPad, though support for both that and Android isn’t nonetheless available, nor is a choice for printed books or other smart facilities like print filters or stickers.
That being said, from a sounds of it, Story will solemnly morph into a micro amicable network for families and/or other tighten friends over time, as Gerlach hints during skeleton for “more amicable and collaborative” facilities in time. That speaks to things like commenting, fondness or common albums, perhaps, and could put Story adult opposite other family-first mobile apps like Famil.io, Familiar, or Tweekaboo, for instance.
But for now, Story sits somewhere in center of all these competitors, not utterly finished on any front. If you’re disposition towards photo-book origination or private, family-focused amicable networking, there are other apps that still lead this space for now.
Story is accessible here in iTunes.
They are, moreover, partial of what is certainly a conspicuous new golden age of violinists in their 30s — Leila Josefowicz and Janine Jansen are also in a picture. All have been elaborating from glamorous prodigies into hazardous mature artists who are relocating a violin into new realms.
But nothing has shown some-more startling new growth than Hahn did in her distinguished Disney Hall show with elements from her commissioning project: “In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores.”
PHOTOS: Arts and enlightenment in cinema by The Times
The encores aren’t encores, during slightest Hahn did not provide them as such on Tuesday’s program. Instead, she featured 8 brief pieces interspersed between sonatas by Fauré and Mozart, along with Bach’s solo Chaconne in D Minor.
The new works were a furious brew — edgy, violent, sweet, clearly sweet, ethereal, earthy, folksy, apparently descriptive, complexly abstract. The violinist writes in her module note that she listened widely late during night to song she had never heard, and when she found pieces she desired she “made nerve-wracking cold calls to a composers to ask them to attend in my project.”
The brew is so interestingly heterogeneous that a initial doubt has to be: Just who is Hilary Hahn? She done a dash as a shockingly well-put-together teen violinist, her Bach in sold being musically distant over her years. In her 20s she became famous as an resistant control freak. Many conductors found her tough to work with. Although coolly collected and definitely serious, she stretched her repertory with such counsel that she courted shallowness and became a new song lightweight.
That was not, however, a Hahn who walked onstage Tuesday, or not entirely. She wore an scarcely divulgence (for her) gown, and tore into Elliott Sharp’s well-named “Storm of a Eye.” Sharp is a longtime tie of New York’s downtown fashionable scene, a composer and multi-instrumentalist improviser remarkable for raw, aloud oppressive sound. Hahn braved this storm’s eye with all her technique total and in a routine done a nauseous pleasing and astounding.

Also new for Hahn was her accompanist, Cory Smythe. A immature New York new song pianist, he demonstrated a stimulating clarity of tone, as good as an sparkling clarity of tone and rhythm. The piano partial indispensable to browbeat David Lang’s indolent “Light Moving,” a ease reverence to early Minimalism, as it indispensable to lead most of Mozart’s short, early Sonata in E-flat, K. 302, and Hahn — this, too, surprising for her — let it. The sonata perceived was a gloriously crisp, low-pitched and excitingly uninformed reading.
As for a rest of a normal repertory, a Chaconne, that Hahn dedicated to a memory of cellist Janos Starker, was a transfixing instance of her architectural approach with Bach and her complete authority of her instrument. Only Fauré’s early Sonata No. 1, Opus 13, was disappointing, here a calm Hahn refusing to let go an inch.
But a news was in a new. David Del Tredici’s “Farewell” suggested his special hold in a approach he creates a touching balance ramble where it substantially shouldn’t and afterwards be splendidly welcomed home. British composer Richard Barrett’s “Shade” was during a conflicting finish of a spectrum, an intricately fashioned practice in high-end low-pitched engineering.
Azerbaijani composer Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, done renouned in a West by a Kronos Quartet, gave Hahn, in “Impulse,” a fractured, autocratic arrangement square — a knockout. The Ukrainian Valentin Silvestrov dwelled, as he mostly likes to, on a mystically sour dregs of nostalgia in his vivid Two Pieces (Waltz and Christmas Serenade). There was no module note for L.A. composer James Newton Howard’s sensuous though concerned “133 … At Least,” so a pretension stays a mystery.
As partial of her commissioning project, Hahn sponsored a competition for a final encore. The leader was Hawaiian composer Jeff Myers, and a violinist pennyless into a singular grin while squealing enticingly in his outlandish “The Angry Birds of Kauai.” A unequivocally good hold was Hahn’s tangible encore. It was a universe premiere of one of a competition’s runners-up, Rani Sharone’s “Tick.” Tick it did, imaginatively.
In a most bigger clarity Hahn has unequivocally begun to tick, too, as a proponent for new music. Tuesday she valid that she has a intensity to make a difference.

Offerings during partial of a Day of Dead celebrations on Oct. 31, 2012, in Puebla, Mexico.
In a latest instance of a energy of social-media backlash, Disney-Pixar announced late yesterday that a association would behind off on a pierce that had generated an online conflict over a final few days.
As a Pixar-centric site Pixartimes.com reports, a studio behind such dear cinema as Toy Story 3 have long done it famous that they’re operative on a film associated to a Latin American holiday Día de Los Muertos—or, Day of a Dead. On May 6, Stitch Kingdom reported that Disney had filed applications to heading a word “Día de Los Muertos,” that some speculated would be movie’s title. The heading would have lonesome snacks, audio recordings, jewelry, cosmetics, pivotal bondage and lots of other intensity sell associated to a film. It was a pierce that lifted a madness of many who found sickening a thought of a vital media association perplexing to settle “ownership” of an critical informative event.
The pushback worked: Disney told Fronteras on Tuesday that not usually would a heading filing be withdrawn, though also a movie’s pretension would be changed.
(WATCH: A Live-Action Remake Of Toy Story)
But if Disney had not motionless to behind off, could they have successfully copyright a name of a holiday? In a way, says Marshall Leaffer, a copyright-law consultant and highbrow during Indiana Law.
“The Day of a Dead can achieve a heading stress if it’s used in a copyright sense,” he says. “If someone wants to use ‘Day of a Dead’ in describing a sold holiday, underneath ubiquitous heading beliefs and giveaway debate principles, a heading owners can't intent to it.”
In short, a trademark—not a copyright; U.S. law doesn’t yield copyright insurance for titles—would have stable Disney opposite others perplexing to emanate sell that referenced their movie, though it would not have given a association tenure of a thought behind a holiday, or a disproportion used in a phrase. In addition, Disney would substantially have had to infer that a word “Día de los Muertos” had a specific Pixar-only definition in sequence to be successful in requesting for a trademark. “We don’t wish to give terms to far-reaching a insurance if they don’t have any arrange of stress for a consumer,” he explains.
Leaffer draws a together to a rope The Cars: there’s a disproportion between perplexing to sell a illicit Cars t-shirt outward a unison venue (not authorised if they have a trademark) and perplexing to sell an we Love Cars t-shirt during a Honda dealership (fine). And a same proof would request to Cars—but a folks during Pixar substantially already know about that.
We know that Disney Interactive is able of producing peculiarity apps that aren’t formed on classical Disney characters: Where’s My Water—which facilities a animation alligator named Swampy who was combined privately for a mobile game—has had copiousness of App Store success on a own, though a vital film or show.
But Disney Interactive announced a new iPhone app on Wednesday that’s conjunction diversion nor animated. In fact, it’s not pulling a Disney product or summary during all. It’s called Story, and it’s designed to assistance we classify your digital media into a sharable storyline.
Scott Gerlach, Disney Interactive’s Director of Engineering, pronounced he and his growth organisation wanted to make an app to assistance people get calm off of their phones and out to a place that’s some-more widely accessible, with an importance on parents.
“New relatives collect some-more media on their mobile inclination than anyone else, though they aren’t doing anything with it,” Gerlach pronounced in an interview, “and they wish to share it, though what’s a best way?” Facebook is an apparent transfer belligerent for photos and videos, though infrequently we competence cite to share photos with a name organisation of friends, in that box Facebook isn’t ideal. Or a people with whom we wish to share these photos—namely, grandparents—haven’t adopted Facebook usually yet.
That’s where Story comes in. Story connects to your Camera Roll and groups photos formed on plcae and when they were taken. These print collections, called moments, are suggested memories that we afterwards can accumulate to finish your story. Pick that photos to work with, drag-and-drop them in a scold order, customize your template, and supplement captions to tell your story a approach we wish it to be told. Finally, share finished stories with friends and family by email or Facebook: stories are displayed as a book, with liquid page branch and animation.
I had a possibility to get some hands-on time with Story before it launched. Overall, we found Story really discerning to use with good in-app modifying facilities and a overwhelming final product.
As mentioned above, when we launch Story and concede a app to have entrance to a essence of your Camera Roll, you’ll see suggested moments of your photos and videos formed on when and where they were taken. You can also perspective all of your finished Stories on a app’s categorical alighting page.
Moments can have adult to 20 photos and dual brief videos (each a notation long); if we happened to go a bit trigger-happy and take some-more than 20 photos in a row, Story will lift a pointless sampling of what was shot and accumulate that into a moment. we found Story’s algorithm for compiling moments to be really accurate. Moments can't camber a calendar day, can't have any stretch gaps, and can't have reduction than 3 pieces of media; a app didn’t wandering from that formula. (However, if we spin plcae services off, this algorithm for compiling moments becomes reduction accurate.)
If we like a print sequence and thesis that Story suggests for that moment, we can share that impulse as-is. But we cite to customize my moments a bit. Story provides 5 opposite themes: one facilities Mickey Mouse, while a others are some-more nondescript. Select your theme, and afterwards drag and dump photos in a sequence you’d like to see them. Gerlach mentioned that additional themes are expected be combined to Story in after app updates.
Photos can be orderly onto pages, with adult to 4 images per page. Play around with how photos are orderly on a page by boring and dropping them around; daub on a print once to perspective opposite page layouts.
Photos can also be cropped, edited, or deleted individually—just double-tap on an picture to revise it further. From here, use pinch-to-zoom to get a stand we want, and afterwards slip a print in to place. Tap a symbol in a bottom right dilemma to supplement a caption.
If you’d like to supplement a print that wasn’t grouped within a suggested moment, we can do that by drumming a Add Media symbol during a tip of a screen.
Actually, a Add Media symbol is your categorical heart for all customization. Tap this button—the initial one on a left of 4 control buttons—to supplement photos, supplement text, take a new print or video, or change a theme. No story is finish though a pretension page and content pages in between photos to report a action—moments are given a pretension page with a date a photos were taken by default. To perspective your story in progress, daub a play symbol to watch your story corkscrew by.
If we wish to make a story comprised of photos that have a lengthier time frame—say, highlights of your child’s third-grade year—you can make a story from scratch.
When you’re prepared to share your story, daub a share button. Story lets we share your collection by email or Facebook. When we email your story, recipients are stirred to click on a couple that leads them to a singular webpage by story.us, where your story lives. These webpages are randomized and “unguessable,” according to Disney Interactive, and can usually be accessed by those who have a approach link. This way, Story users can make their print streams as open or private as they want.
While Story is off to a earnest start, some additional facilities are required to make it an App Store darling. One underline I’d like to see is a place to store all of your common stories online, so we can simply share and guard your stories in one place. Currently, Story allows we to emanate a couple by story.us that can be common around e-mail or Facebook, though it’s a randomized couple that isn’t compared with any open account. While Disney says this is both for remoteness and morality reasons, carrying all of your stories in one simply sharable plcae competence facilitate pity even more. Grandma can not usually see a latest Story from Sally’s karate class, though she can take another demeanour during Sally’s birthday Story, too, though carrying to open a apart email or click a apart link.
Story will be accessible Wednesday on a App Store. This giveaway app is concordant with a iPhone using iOS 5 or newer.
