The Mickey Mouse Revue performs at Walt Disney World 1971.
This animatronic musical show was moved to Tokyo Disneyland in 1983.
This attraction originally opened in 1971 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and closed there in 1980 before moving to Tokyo. It was in the spot where Mickey's Philharmagic is today. It's kind of interesting how the two attractions are a different medium but the idea is still pretty much the same.
Here it is in Tokyo:
Enjoy!

Directors Love Actors 5: James Gray and Joaquin Phoenix
Collaborations: "The Yards," "We Own the Night," "Two Lovers"
The cinematic connection between writer/director James Gray and actor Joaquin Phoenix must be inspired by mutual respect and a shared perspective on the creative process, because it's clearly not about money. The fact that their previous two films together -- 2000's "The Yards" and 2007's "We Own the Night" -- made less than $30 million combined in the United States didn't stop Gray and Phoenix from reuniting on "Two Lovers," a romantic drama that premiered earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival to mixed reviews and few interested distributors; its producers, 2929, ultimately gave the movie to its sister company, Magnolia Pictures, who'll release it in January. Phoenix is Gray's go-to black sheep; in all three pictures he plays a ne'er-do-well who holds a family's fate in his hands. Gray needs Phoenix in particular because his films don't indict these screw-ups, and it takes an actor of Phoenix's caliber to craft characters we sympathize with even as they continue to disappoint us. In an interview with Cinema Blend, Gray defended Phoenix's repeat casting even though it hasn't translated to huge box office success. "I'm not trying say the things I've done are as good as this, but I don't remember anyone telling Martin Scorsese, 'You shouldn't work with Robert De Niro again, 'Raging Bull' was not a success.' "
See also: Phoenix's co-star from both "The Yards" and "We Own the Night," Mark Wahlberg, another James Gray favorite.

Directors Love Actors 4: Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson
Scoop
Collaborations: "Match Point," "Scoop," and "Vicky Christina Barcelona"
Three of the four movies made during Woody's Allen's recent European vacation have featured a prominent American character; in all three instances, that character was played by Scarlett Johansson. The three movies have very different tones and themes -- "Match Point" is a thriller with moral overtones, "Vicky Christina Barcelona" is a romantic travelogue and "Scoop" a goofy supernatural comedy -- but in each film, Johansson's role is roughly the same: the good-looking girl traveling abroad who enters a world (be it the British aristocracy, the Spanish art scene or journalism's homicide beat) for which she's not fully prepared. In the two comedies, her adventures are played for flirty laughs; in the drama, they drive her mad. Ironically, the partnership started almost by accident; Kate Winslet was originally cast in Johansson's role in "Match Point," but dropped out just before shooting started to spend more time with her family. Discussing Johansson's casting with the website Buzzine Allen noted that she was selected initially out of desperation but that he "became totally captivated by her. She was not only beautiful but also bright, amusing, charming and gifted." He's promised in many interviews to try to work with her whenever he's written parts for her, but their affair could be a strictly international one: ScarJo doesn't appear in Woody's next picture, a Manhattan-set comedy called "Whatever Works" starring Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood.
See also: Allen clearly prefers working with actors he knows, particularly female ones: Diane Keaton appeared in five of his pictures in the 1970s and a reunion in 1993 ("Manhattan Murder Mystery") after Allen broke up with his next muse, Mia Farrow, following completion of "Husbands and Wives," the couple's 12th consecutive movie together (or 13th, if you count Allen's contribution to the anthology film, "New York Stories").

Directors Love Actors 3: Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen
Collaborations: "Freaks and Geeks," "Undeclared," "The 40 Year Old Virgin," "Knocked Up," "Funny People"
Since he discovered Seth Rogen in Vancouver while casting his cult television series "Freaks and Geeks," Judd Apatow has cast the burly Canuck in every single project he's directed, from the "Freaks" follow-up, "Undeclared," to a key supporting turn in Apatow's big-screen debut, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," and eventually the lead role in last year's "Knocked Up." (He also stars in Apatow's new project, next summer's "Funny People" with Adam Sandler). Along the way, he's encouraged Rogen's own career as a writer, producing the scripts Rogen penned with his writing partner Evan Goldberg for "Superbad" and "Pineapple Express." An auteurist might want to believe that for Apatow, Rogen represents an alter ego for the director, the slovenly secular Jewish, pot-smoking, foul-mouthed guy whose gruff exterior belies his sensitive core. The reality behind the relationship may be a little more practical. "He was just so funny to hang around with, and he would improvise some hilarious lines that no writers could ever come up with," Apatow told Bullz-Eye.com of Rogen. "He was such a good writer [on 'Undeclared'] that it was almost embarrassing, because his scripts were better than most everybody else's scripts, and he was a kid...when I got ["The 40-Year-Old Virgin"], I made him one of the stars so I could... force him to come to set every day and pitch jokes for all the other actors."
Seth Rogen's Apatow films:
- Pineapple Express (2008) - Judd produced
- Funny People (2009)
- Superbad (2007) - Judd produced
- Knocked Up (2007)
- The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
- Undeclared (TV; 2001-2003)
- Freaks and Geeks (TV; 1999-2000)
See also: Apatow is one of Hollywood's most loyal filmmakers in Hollywood, and has built a huge stable of dependable performers including Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, and Jason Segel, the second actor put on the Seth Rogen track when he got to write his own Apatow-produced vehicle, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

http://www.ifc.com/film/film-news/2008/10/movie-marriages-four-actordire.php
Andy Samberg is linked to Seth in that they both did a Google sketch for MTV's Movie Awards back in 2005.

Directors Love Actors 2: Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio
Collaborations: "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," "The Departed"
To star in films directed by Martin Scorsese, as Leonardo DiCaprio has done three times now -- with a fourth, "Shutter Island," coming next year -- is to invite comparisons to Robert De Niro, who made eight pictures with Scorsese, three of which ("Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas") are routinely mentioned in any list of the greatest films of their respective decades. Scorsese and De Niro haven't worked together since 1995's "Casino" and in that time, DiCaprio has clearly supplanted Bobby D as Scorsese's go-to leading man. Not coincidentally, a lot of what DiCaprio brings to these performances -- high-wattage intensity, a willingness to get ugly (morally and physically) on-screen -- are the same things De Niro brought to his. Still, it's hard to imagine De Niro taking on the role of eccentric billionaire industrialist Howard Hughes, which is why it's not surprising to learn that the Hughes project belonged to DiCaprio first, with Scorsese coming on board to direct after their initial success with "Gangs of New York." Even in these early stages, Scorsese's pairing with DiCaprio has already brought him things the one with De Niro did not: a Best Director Oscar (for "The Departed") as well as the director's first two movies to gross over $100 million at the domestic box office.
Leo's Scorsese films:
- Gangs of New York (2002)
- The Aviator (2004)
- The Departed (2006)
- Shutter Island (2010)
- Sinatra? (2011?)
- The Rise of Theodore Rosevelt? (2012?)
See also: It appears that De Niro isn't ready to pass the torch to his young competition just yet. He and Scorsese recently announced plans for their first movie together in over a dozen years: a based-on-truth mob story called "I Heard You Paint Houses." Then again, DiCaprio is currently attached to two Scorsese projects in the works: "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt."

The Killing Room (An Empire Animation)
What's your favorite part?
This is the kind of thing where you're going to have to play it back about 10 times to understand everything that happens in this battle sequence. It goes by fast, kind of like real battles. The most confusing part is that Red fires a web up and pulls down part of the ceiling. Also check out the animation on Red's tail! That's pretty sweet!
Made with Flash.
Animation and Sound Effects by Snorre Productions.
Written and Voiced by Ed 'word' Price
This is our first collaboration with Snorre Productions! More are coming!!!

Directors Love Actors 1: Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott
If it feels like Russell Crowe is in every movie Ridley Scott directs these days, that's because he is (2006-2010). After winning a Best Actor Oscar for "Gladiator" in 2000, Crowe reeled off three Scott pictures in three years: 2006's "A Good Year," 2007's "American Gangster" and this year's "Body of Lies." And the two are already at it again: Scott recently announced that "Nottingham," his long-stalled adaptation of the Robin Hood legend, will move forward with Crowe taking on both roles of the legendary archer and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
- Gladiator (2000)
- A Good Year (2006)
- American Gangster (2007)
- Body of Lies (2008)
- Robin Hood (2010)

Animation History: Mickey Mouse's The Band Concert
I was talking to someone about Mickey’s Philharmagic, the Disney World ride, and it got me on the topic of Mickey Mouse’s short, The Band Concert.
Not only is Mickey Mouse from animated shorts (and features)…
But the amazing ride, Mickey’s Philharmagic is loosely based on the 1935 Mickey Mouse short, The Band Concert:
The tornado comes at about 6:20.
It was the first Mickey Mouse cartoon in Technicolor, and it was very popular in 1935. In 1994 it was voted #3 of the 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field.
The feature length films Mickey has been in:
Fantasia (Sorcerer’s Apprentice; 1940)
The Three Caballeros (1944)
Fun and Fancy Free (Mickey and The Beanstalk; 1947)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
And the Band Concert (1935, color) was a sequel to the 1930 black & white Mickey Mouse short, The Barnyard Concert:
Which itself was designed to take off of Steamboat Willie from 1928 (notice how he similarly tortures animals like the pigs and cow to produce music):
Yeah, Mickey was a bit of a rogue. Even in 1935’s Band Concert. As he slowly lost that image, he also slowly lost his popularity. They had to reinvent him a few times, but I think toward the end, their reinvention techniques were to make him amiable, when they should have been reinventing him back as the scoundrel he was originally intended to be.
In the meantime, Bugs Bunny’s attitude and Donald Duck’s attitude grew in popularity as Mickey’s attitude and popularity dwindled. Of course, the theme parks have kept Mickey alive in our hearts. =^)
In Barnyard Concert, it’s interesting how Mickey’s the “star,” made to be a bit of jerk, and then gets avenged by the cow at the end. As his personality has changed, he’s gotten happier endings. Then the rude characters like Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny were often avenged by the other characters in the end of those shorts. For example, Chip n Dale and Huey, Dewy, and Louie always got the upper hand on Donald Duck, and the tortoise always got the upper hand on Bugs Bunny in the “Tortoise and the Hare” shorts.

Punch Out for Wii
Finally!!! We haven't seen Punch out since the SNES! I think maybe showing Little Mack in Smash Brawl got people's interest.
It's a great idea for Wii, seeing how Nintendo already did boxing in Wii Sports! A perfect match.
We're pretty stoked about this game.
