Disney Steam Punk Artwork: The current Disney art Gallery exhibit

Here are a few pictures from the latest Art Exhibit at the Disney Art Gallery on Main Street.

This exhibit is called Mechanical Kingdoms:  which takes a look at some Disney Steam Punk inspired artwork.  Rather than explain it --I think the sign at the front of the exhibit explains it better.

Here is a nice 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea  parody starring Mickey and Friends

I Absolutely love this Mickey as the Rocketeer art.

If you are on Main Street go and check it out....  There are a lot of pictures I didn't include.

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #37 The Third Wheel 9 out of 10

The Third Wheel   9 out of 10

Goofy shines in the latest Valentine's Day themed Mickey Mouse cartoon.  Mickey tries to take Minnie out for a romantic evening--- but Goofy---well Goofy goofs it up.  He doesn't get the hint that it isn't a group thing.   When he finally does get it he tries to over compensate and ends up messing things up even more.  I still don't like Goofy's look in this series of cartoons - but his character is really hitting its stride and like in "Potatoland" really is the star once again in this short.  Goofy's antic spell Valentine's Day disaster.

The cartoon can currently be found airing on the Disney Channel and Disney Online

Tapped Out 2014   8 out of 10

The gang are at a Wrestling match watching a fearsome champion wrestler beat up on his opponent.  Mickey declares to Goofy that he would show that guy "what for" and when the wrestler challenges the audience Goofy (taking Mickey seriously)  decides to volunteer Mickey.  Donal Duck meanwhile is more concerned with his nachos.  It was a fun Mickey Mouse cartoon that pits Mickey in a David vs Goliath sort of battle. Somehow throughout this comic wrestling match Mickey comes out on top after some random help from Donald. I really liked this cartoon, but it was derivative of a classic Spongebob cartoon featuring wrestling which was better.

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #35 Flipperboobootosis 2014 6 out of 10

Flipperboobootosis 2014   6 out of 10

The first of the new Mickey Mouse cartoons to hit the air in 2014 is Flipperboobootosis.  The cartoon centers on Donald Duck having a red throbbing sore on his foot and not wanting to go to the doctor about to get it treated.  Mickey and Goofy try to help out to the increased pain of Donald.  It was a short and very average cartoon compared to some of the better cartoons in the series. There are a few good sight gags, but nothing really new, funny or great about this particular cartoon and the ending just finished with a thud.  Definitely not one of the better of the new Mickey cartoons.  

The cartoon can currently be found airing on the Disney Channel and Disney Online
