Disney Parks Introduces "Unforgettable Happens Here":

We can say goodbye to the "Show Your Disney Side" marketing campaign, as Disney Parks is rolling out a new one this week called, "Unforgettable Happens Here." The purpose of the campaign is to say that just around every corner in Disney Parks and at any moment of any day magical and unforgettable things happen. They said, "Around every corner, at any second or minute of every day, there's a magical moment waiting to happen. Moments both big and little become stories that will be forever told and retold. And, never ever forgotten."

Disney rolled out two commercials with the campaign that you should see this week on their television channels: ABC, Disney Channel, and ESPN networks. Here they are:

Show Your Disney Side App Allows Selfies to be Turned into 3D Disney Characters:

Yesterday Disney and Disney Parks in collaboration with app developer TYFFON, released their new app, Show Your Disney Side. The declared ultimate selfie app for Disney fans allows users to superimpose their faces on their favorite Disney characters. The user can be characters such as Maleficent, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, or even Captain Hook. Characters from Star Wars are also available but Marvel and Pixar characters have yet to be released for the app.

The app is actually designed to coincide with both Disney Parks in California in Florida. The characters themselves are limited to select rides at the parks. When you visit one of the parks and launch the Show Your Disney Side app, you can unlock additional characters from the ride such as the Haunted Mansion. Options for characters are limited to 3 per ride however the list should grow to more. 

Toy Story 4 Plot Will Not Continue Storyline from Previous Films:

Pixar president Jim Morris gave Toy Story fans a glimpse of the upcoming film Toy Story 4 in an interview with Disney Latino. The sequel will not be a traditional one like a usual sequel Morris said in the interview. He said, "The third movie was over in a beautiful way and completed a trilogy. We are putting together a very nice story. It is not a continuation of the end of the story of Toy Story 3. Temporarily it is, but it will be a love story. It will be romantic comedy. It will not make much focus on the interaction between characters and children. I think it will be a very good movie." Originally there was never a thought for another Toy Story movie but when director John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter, and Lee Unkrich came up with the idea, Lasseter said he couldn't stop thinking about it. Lasseter knew he had to make this film and he would be the one to direct it. Rashida Jones and Will McCormack are co-writing the script. Toy Story 4 is due to be released in theaters on July 16, 2017.
