When it hits stores Dec. 2, Disney’s Blu-ray Disc version of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian will include extras such as short features that include 360-degree views of the creation of the film’s castle-storming scene, a vignette on filming in Slovenia, trivia challenges, a game and discussions with C.S. Lewis’ stepson on the author’s vision of Narnia.

The 360-degree views present an updated version of Circle-Vision, which Disney first launched in the ’50s as a way for Disneyland visitors to immerse themselves in film tours of the U.S., China and Canada.

Disney will try to hook casual fans into the world of Narnia and provide diehard Narnia fans an opportunity to immerse themselves. The Narnia series of seven books has sold more than 100 million copies in more than 30 languages.

More than five hours of extras will be included on both the standard-definition and Blu-ray versions.

Bedtime Stories MovieBedtime Stories Movie
Release Date: 25 December 2008

Rated PG for mild language and crude humor

Whatever they dream up... he has to survive.

What if the stories you told came to life?  Adam Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson as an uncle who tells his niece and nephews bedtime stories that start to come true.  Bedtime Stories is a 2008 family fantasy comedy with a unique story line:   Skeeter is a hotel handyman who tells vivid stories to his sister's children, only to find they come true-with him in a starring role.  After he figures out that he is creating a sort of alternate world, he tries to take advantage of the phenomenon by weaving his own wishes into one crazy story after another.  Eventually we find that the kids' contributions make each story turn out in surprising ways.  There are Roman chariots, raining gumballs, cowboys, fireballs and aliens to keep the movie engaging.

The film will be directed by Adam Shankman. Sandler's production company Happy Madison and  Gunn Films are producers, and Walt Disney Pictures will distribute the film.

Wall-E Release Nov. 18

Disney-Pixar do it again with Wall-E!
 
The wait is over! Disney Pixar's latest movie Wall-e will be on DVD November 18. The Wall-e movie is another great Disney Pixar hit. The storyline is that humans have messed up the earth so much they have to leave the planet and wait for the robots to clean it up. But the robots all break down. Except for Wall-e. (Waste Allocation Load Lifter -- Earth-Class).
The character seems almost child-like. Wall-E spends all day compacting trash, and in the mean time he discovers treasures which he keeps in his Playmate cooler, for transfer to his collection shelf inside his "home".
Wall-e is all alone on Earth until Eve arrives. She was sent by the humans to find out whether or not it is safe for them to return to the Earth.
Wall-e is a love story like nothing that we have seen before. Although Wall-e uses very little dialogue it manages to touch the heart of the audience.
Wall-e falls in love with Eve. Her full name is Extra Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. She is a sleek, sophisticated probe droid who is far more advanced than Wall-e. She can fly and has her own very destructive laser gun.
The Wall-e movie is a love story with a powerful message.  The relationship between Eve and Wall-e seems very real, even if they are both robots.

Wall-e is directed by Andrew Stanton who won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature for his movie Finding Nemo. Andrew Stanton thought of the idea for the Wall-e movie before Toy Story was made.
Ben Burtt designed most of the voices, which are mostly electronic sounds. To make the sounds he took mechanical sounds and combined them to resemble dialogue. Burtt is known for his work on the Star Wars movies.
Wall-e had to wait a while from the original concept to arriving on the screen. After Andrew Stanton had completed Finding Nemo he felt that the technology was ready to create the effects that he needed for the movie. His feeling was that if they could create the effect of the sea, the the aiWall-E in Spacer was the next step.
The movie has something for everyone.  The animation is perfect, and while there is little dialog throughout the movie, it is still engaging in a way which demonstrated that communication is often independent of words.  This is a big movie which will keep you engaged for 90 minutes. 
WALL-E  is a 2008 computer animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film, which follows the romance between two robots in the future, was released on June 27, 2008. The film is being directed by Andrew Stanton, whose previous film, Finding Nemo, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Jim Morris, who previously worked for Lucasfilm, will be the producer. Most of the characters are not voiced by actors, but by sound design by Ben Burtt which resembles voices. Thomas Newman, who composed Finding Nemo, will reunite with Stanton to compose the film's score.

Story

According to John Lasseter in a presentation to Disney corporate investors:

WALL-E is the story of the last little robot on Earth. He is a robot and his programming was to help clean up. You see, it's set way in the future. Through consumerism, rampant, unchecked consumerism, the Earth was covered with trash. And to clean up, everyone had to leave Earth and set in place millions of these little robots that went around to clean up the trash and make Earth habitable again.

Well, the cleanup program failed with the exception of this one little robot and he's left on Earth doing his duty all alone. But it's not a story about science fiction. It's a love story, because, you see, WALL·E falls in love with EVE, a robot from a probe that comes down to check on Earth, and she's left there to check on and see how things are going and he absolutely falls in love with her.

WALL-E is an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-class.
