Disney Studios- 2013 Year in Review

Television:
   It seems to really be going downhill lately. Ever since Wizards of Waverly Place ended and Good Luck Charlie has run out of ideas we've been left with some pretty bad table scraps...Dog with a Blog is terrible and the rest are tired. Phineas and the rest of the animated films are boring and the live action needs a good new idea.


Parks:
   The new Fantasyland at WDW is a great start and it looks great. I think the highlight of the expansion will be the mine train. The rest is more spectacle and visual than it is imaginative or entertaining. WDW needs a real ride, a real experience. What would be a good attraction idea? I suggest they use the same model as Universal's Islands of adventure. A hulk type roller coaster...a 3d adventure like Spiderman. Maybe even a freefall simulator like Doctor Doom. Why should they do this? A new fastpass attraction that utilizes Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, etc. Even better though is that it will take away the buzz from the Marvel attractions. Avatarland is not going to generate a lot of buzz.
  What's going on at Disneyland? Nothing really new and nothing noteworthy. It's time to make a statement again.


Movies:
  A So-So year for movies. Some good movies, but nothing to really franchise on.

Oz the great and powerful- Grade F
Iron Man 3- Grade C
Monsters University- Grade A-
Lone Ranger- Grade D
Planes- Grade F
Thor- Grade B-
Saving Mr. Banks- Grade A

2014 Isn't looking to be much better. Delaying the Good Dinosaur? Maleficent?  Captain America? However, we should all be excited about Guardians of the Galaxy...
