Disney’s Magic Kingdom: A First Timer’s Experience

Our last stop in Orlando while on a press trip to attend the Zootopia press junket at Walt Disney World, courtesy of Disney Studios, was Disney's Magic Kingdom. As a native to Southern California, I gotta say this park was the most similar to Disneyland but it had it's own magic too. Being there, it all seemed like a dream, and ending it at the home of Cinderella's castle seemed appropriate...and … [Read more...]

Zootopia Movie Review

Zootopia Movie Review

The very first time I ever encountered a stereotypical remark, that I remember, was when I was about 6 and someone asked me if I spoke English, followed by where are all your brothers and sisters? The assumption being since I was Latino, I was just one of many children and that even though I lived in a suburb of a major city, and went to public school, I didn't speak English. At the time, I didn't … [Read more...]

Ginnifer Goodwin on Zootopia, Disney Animation, and Overcoming Stereotypes

The day that Once Upon A Time premiered on ABC, I became enchanted. I thought everything about it was perfect and I absolutely loved Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Snow White on the show. I had seen her in Big Love, and became a huge fan when she was in the movie Something Borrowed (seriously seriously LOVE that movie). When I heard that she was cast as Judy Hopps, the first bunny cop in Zootopia, I … [Read more...]

The Making of Zootopia: Talking to Byron Howard and Rich Moore

Behind every film, animated or live action, there has to be someone with that first flicker of light that says, "what if we did a story about...". In the case of Disney's upcoming animation feature, Zootopia, that first lightbulb moment came from Byron Howard, who pitched the idea of animals living in a big city to John Lasseter. As Howard tells it, John loved the idea so much that he picked him … [Read more...]
