Since February 14, 2001, I have been running an online site listing the most complete Disney Animated Movies titles, characters, and their voices. This is now the 3rd version of that site. Someday, I may get it right.

Uncategorized

New dates have been set for 4 titles coming from Walt Disney Motion Pictures.

  • DreamWorks’ Ghost in the Shell, to be distributed by Touchstone Pictures, will arrive on April 14, 2017.
  • The non-musical remake of Pete’s Dragon will appear on August 12, 2016
  • The mostly CG The Jungle Book has moved to April 15, 2016

The list of releases on the right has all of the dates of Disney’s upcoming releases, including these new changes.

Media Releases for January 13/14

Uncategorized

This week, a number of releases through Amazon.com (for which The Completist Geek receives a small referral fee). The most exciting is the 4-CD Fantasia soundtrack. It includes the original 1940 soundtrack (remastered, ‘natch!) as well as the 1984 re-recording under the direction of Disney musical mastermind Irwin Kostal. As well, new to public release (unless you found them at Wal-Mart before Christmas) are the previously-only-available-at-Disney-Movie-Club releases of Tale Spin, Goof Troop, Gargoyles, DuckTales: The Movie – Treasure of the Lost Lamp, & The Incredible Journey. Add some Disney Infinity 2.0 power discs and a huge handful of Disney-era Miramax movies, and it’s an excellent week for Disney releases. See them all after the link.

Final 2014 Box Office Numbers

Uncategorized

Disney fared very well at the 2014 Box Office. With the #1 film, a box office surprise in Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney had a great year. Marvel had that and Captain America in #3 and Big Hero 6 (sort of) in #9 and still playing. Disney Studios had #6 with Maleficent, and Disney characters appeared in both #4 The Lego Movie and #7 X-Men: Days of Future Past. 28 films in total have a piece of Disney in them, with a total of $2.183 Billion dollars take at the box (again, not all of that goes into Disney’s pockets). However, it was a very good year.
