D23 A Day with John Lasseter Part 4 (Promoting Disney)

So basically the majority of my day was spent  with John Lasseter as my  guide to the world of Disney.....



The first presentation on Disney/Pixar animation  (no pics they took away all cell phones and cameras for this)
John Lasseter in typical Hawaiian shirt.....This guy so totally rocks.....Talked about all the upcoming animation.....

We saw clips and or art for Princess and the Frog
Toy Story 3,  Tinkerbell movies,  Winnie the Pooh,  Cars II , Rapunzel, etc....Very cool presentation with John Lasseter as our guide...


I visited the small but cool Disney Treasures exhibit...That had things like the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues....Jack Sparrows costume,  etc.....No pictures were aloud inside  but Herbie was outside


I love this bug



Movie promos were all around with props from upcoming films

A dragon from Sorcerer's Apprentice with Nick Cage
 one of the many stars that were at the Expo on Friday for Studios presentation which I would have loved




Alice stuff







Love me some Lightcycle action


Prep and Landing  the Tv special that was mentioned in Lasster Animated speech



A Christmas Carol



Then it was more John Lasseter action in Pixar in the Parks  discussion with Pixar folks and imagineers talks about all the Pixar rides and attractions present and future.....Very cool





Lasseter to me is like the modern day Walt so glad he is involved in Disney parks and movies now







My one day at D23 was a lot of fun....Wish I could have seen more.....A hope to see more of it again next year

D23 Part 3 (The Park and Resorts Exhibit-)

The Coolest section of D23 as far as I'm concerned was the Parks and Resorts Exhibit.....The outside was covered in the coolest Attraction Poster collage that I wish was wallpaper.






I have weeks worth of computer wallpapers now





I love Attraction posters  Can you tell












The entrance was a giant TV screen that showed Disneyland clips then opened up like a portal in time




Test animation on cars that will be in Carsland







Inside we got a glimpse of things to come...Like Carsland going in DCA in 2012....Very cool



"Let us ride to Carsland  ...It's only a model"







Cool Audio -Animatronics were on display






Including the elusive Lucky the Dinosaur....





Eyeballs


Severed Heads


Naked Abe Lincoln




They had a cool model of the Hawaiian Disney resort that is being built on the islands



This is exactly what the crab from my recent poem was talking about







There was this cool Storytellers Sandbox  --where they could tell stories  projecting images into the sand ...The sample was a story about Sea Turtles

A very original idea I thought




The little baby turtles following the light




Meanwhile over in Asia
Concept art from Hong Kong Disney
Mystic Manor looks amazing













Grizzly Coaster....I wish this was going in here

The best part about this exhibit was that they actually had Imagineers in the exhibit to explain things to the guests...Very cool.
