Visiting with one of the original Disney Stores #138

How many of you, couldn't wait to go visit the Newest sensation. A Disney Store coming to a mall near you?
I know I couldn't.
When I would visit it, It would seem like a Small Emporium on Main Street U. S. A. at Disneyland.
I bought my 1st Annual Pass there, and Many many VCR tapes,that came with a watch and a lithograph.
Most of the figures and scenes moved. Like the propellers on the plane. Or Alice in the Wonderland scene.
Now 40 years later the only scene that still moves is the Little Mermaid.
I talked to the management and they said the store is going to be renovated, but they will restore the figures and get them moving again.
They will keep the same kind of Theme, just updated.
It was a nice day visiting our favorite place, The Disney Store.

DISNEY'S LIVE ACTION BEAUTY AND THE BEAST MOVIE REVIEW #137

Disney's live action remake of the animated 1991 feature Beauty and the Beast.

We have been waiting to go and see the newest version of taking animated Disney films and turning them into live action films., Thus far Maleficent, Cinderella and The Jungle book have been done really well and we have enjoyed them.

So we decided to see Beauty and the Beast today, not a full theater, in fact there was a total of 6 people including us, It started off with a different twist, with a female voice narrating the story, but the we see Belle (Emma Watson) walking out the front door singing "Little Town". But instead of her home being a farm, it seemed to be in the village as she made her way to the book store.  I am not sure that they should of left out that she was returning the book she borrowed yesterday to get another book , like in the animated version, The shop keeper lets her keep her favorite book, They left that out. Gaston (Luke Evans) acts his part out very well. The make up department did a great job on Maurice (Kevin Kline), Belle's Father and Beast (Dan Stevens).  LeFou (Josh Gad) and the rest of the cast did a really good job. But the story was changed in ways that lost me, as I thought Gaston like antlers in all of his decorating, but not his chair.
1991 Animated version

This is just my opinion, I know they changed scenes and stories in the past remakes. But I did not like this version, as it actually put me to sleep. I've never fallen asleep in a Disney movie before.

I did like the way they animated Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson) Lumiere (Ewan McGregor) and Cogsworth  (Ian McKellen) and the dusters and so on. The "Be Our Guest" scene was just a little over the top, Yes I could imagine it must of been hard to get that scene to look good.  It had a different ending, but I actually liked it.



They should of kept Monsieur D'Arque in the movie.

On a "E" Ticket scale of one to ten, this film gets a,


  • A = 1
  • A+ = 2
  • B = 3
  • B+ =4
  • C = 5
  • C+ = 6
  • D = 7
  • D+ = 8
  • E= 9 
  • E+= 10
D+ 8 For great special effects and great music, Thank you Alan Menken.
Would I go back to the theaters and watch it again, probably not. But I will buy it on DVD when it comes out.



*please note: not all of us here at E Ticket have the same opinions. I personally loved Audra Mcdonald as The Wardrobe and Stanley Tucci as Cadenza were brilliant as well. I would give it an E, as I felt the dinner scene was wayyyyy too busy and over the top. CW

Readers will set out on a behind-the-scenes look at Pandora with the creative team responsible for this unprecedented project, including Walt Disney Imagineering’s Joe Rohde, Cameron, and Avatar producer Jon Landau. “We didn’t build sets of all this stuff when we made the movie. It was all in a computer,” James Cameron remarked in an exclusive interview with Disney twenty-three. “So, to be able to walk around it in full-scale? It’s unfathomable. We’re literally on Pandora! I’m on Pandora! It was a pinch-me moment to ensure I was really awake and actually in the world we had created.”

In addition to the cover featuring Pandora – The World of Avatar, the summer issue, exclusively for Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, has a second, spine-tingling cover with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Javier Bardem and Kaya Scodelario reveal what it was like to join the Pirates crew, as they set sail on an all-new adventure with Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, and Orlando Bloom. Cars newcomer Cristela Alonzo talks about joining the high-octane franchise. And Chris Hemsworth shares what it’s like going head-to-head with Hulk in this fall’s Thor: Ragnarok.
Walt Disney Imagineering’s Steven Davison and Kim Irvine give readers a first look at the triumphant return of Fantasmic! and Disneyland’s Rivers of America; enjoy a tour of Duckburg with the creative team behind the upcoming reimagined DuckTales for Disney XD; and return to the beautiful art of Bambi in honor of its 75th anniversary year, created by Disney Legend Tyrus Wong and other influential Disney artists.
Also included in the summer issue of Disney twenty-three:
  • A tour of Golden Oak Ranch, one of Disney’s most storied filming locations
  • Popular Disney myths busted
  • A celebration of Disney’s most innovative films, attractions, and experiments
  • A toy-filled edition of “From the Desk of” as we tour John Lasseter’s office at Pixar Animation Studios
  • Regular features including A Walk with Walt, D Society, and Ask Dave
Plus, all D23 Gold Members will receive a Na’vi translator card featuring the Shaman of Songs, the character featured on the attraction Na’vi River Journey. This card is a collectible on its own and, when used with the Na’vi language translator device (available at Pandora this summer), will tell the guest how to say the words in the Na’vi language.
Disney twenty-three, which is delivered directly to fans’ doorsteps, is offered exclusively to D23 Gold and Gold Family Members as a benefit of their membership. The latest issue will begin arriving in mid-May.
