Random Notes 1/26/10


this week there is a lot going on for Disney fans! We begin with new Cars 2 concept art. This image comes to us from Pixar Planet and shows Lightning McQueen tearing it up on race track in the shadow of Mt. Fuji in Japan! The story of Cars 2 is already partly known. Apparently Mater is mistaken for a spy when he saves the life of a James Bond type character Finn McMissle, who apparently looks like an Aston Martin sports car(A favorite of James Bond).


Walt Disney Studios India has launched the Ad campaign for their first live action film, Zokkomon. According to the press release, this is what the film is about:
“Zokkomon” is an action-adventure film about an orphan boy, Kunal, who discovers how cruel life is when he is abandoned by his heartless uncle. Left to fend for himself, Kunal begins his epic journey of adventure and transformation to become the superhero character Zokkomon.
The trailer for the film was also released but we have been unable to find it ANYWHERE on the net. But the second it pops up, you know we will have it!
Thanks to Disnology for the info!!!

So Disney is planning a huge cross network promotional campaign leading up to the release of their Super Bowl ad for "Alice In Wonderland." all ads will be exclusive to the individual network, and will feature interviews with director Tim Burton, and the stars of the film as well as new footage from the film.

Lastly, we have just found out that "Princess and the Frog" will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD on March 16th, 2010 here in the United States. Meanwhile, we love to get a glimpse at how Disney movies are marketed in different countries, and leave it to the French to release a "Princess and the Frog" trailer that relives the romance of Disney's animated classics. This video comes to us from Walt Disney Studios France on YouTube. -Admiral Duke
