Disneyland developed a nighttime spectacular in 1987 that featured 999 ghosts and skeletons from the Haunted Mansion that took over Tom Sawyer Island to entertain crowds along the Rivers of America five years before “Fantasmic”.

Disneyland consultant Don Dorsey discussed the history of the shelved Haunted Mansion-themed nighttime spectacular during the Magic After Dark panel at the D23 fan event at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Concept art developed for the Haunted Mansion-themed nighttime spectacular shows ghosts pouring out of the classic dark ride and flowing over the Rivers of America onto Tom Sawyer Island in a spectral rainbow.

In a spooky castle scene, headless knights hoisted a coffin into the air as ghost brides lingered amid scattered skeletons.

Pirates fought with swords in the masts of a ghostly version of the Sailing Ship Columbia as fireworks exploded near the stern in another scene developed for the nighttime spectacular.

The finale featured the Chernabog villain from “Fantasia” looming overhead as flames engulfed the waters below.

“Everybody thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be amazing,’” Dorsey said during the D23 panel presentation. “Then it got shelved for a period of time for Disneyland’s 35th.”

After the 35th anniversary celebration in 1990, attention turned to another nighttime spectacular involving water and fireworks that ultimately ended up occupying the same spot on Disneyland’s Rivers of America.

“Fantasmic” debuted in 1992

Frozen Through the Years

Yearly Spotlight: 2019

Written by @toriofthetrees

After six long years, 2019 saw the release of the long-anticipated sequel, Frozen II.

The lead-up up to the release was intense to say the least.

The first teaser trailer premiered in February, opening with Elsa on a black-sand beach stripped down to her bare essentials, barefoot, ready to take on a raging sea. She attempted twice to cross the torrential waters before the trailer turned to Anna’s shock of hundreds of diamond-shaped glass covered in strange symbols, taking over Arendelle. Following closely behind were several moments of Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Anna taking on dangerous challenges, and a show of strange, foreign magic. All of this was centered around this new, mysterious setting known only at the time as an autumnal forest.

It gave just enough of a preview to hook millions.

The trailer was viewed and downloaded several million times on Twitter and YouTube within a short amount of time. In the fandom, a storm of news, posts, speculation, and discussions broke out over several platforms, too chaotic to keep track of. The months that followed the teaser were absolutely brimming with excitement! Across cinemas, television, and the internet—both in the US and internationally—came many trailers, sneak peaks, and posters about the upcoming movie. Alongside this came leaks as well, all of it sparking speculation in the fandom over what the plot of the movie could be.

Countless books about Frozen II came onto the market before the film was even released, notably without the end of the film printed within their pages. This lead to fans in many locations to protest the shops selling these books, wanting their money back.

Most of these protests lead to no results.

Success for Disney Studios, specifically. contributed to the exposure for Frozen II. ~In March, Disney invested billions of US dollars in company acquisitions across the film and TV industry, creating the most powerful media company in the world in the USA. ~This was the year of the 6th Disney D23 Expo, the biggest Disney fan event of the year! It was held on August 23–25 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, showcasing news and pictures around all the new Disney parks, resorts—and movies! Including Frozen II! ~On November 12, 2019, Disney launched its streaming platform Disney+ in several countries ~2019 ultimately proved to be Disney's most successful cinema year to date, regardless of which new film was released!

All of this led up to the release of Frozen II on November 20, 2019 in most countries (unfortunately some countries had to wait until the beginning of January).

This new installment to Elsa and Anna’s story saw the sisters and their found family making a long trek away from Arendelle… in order to save it. Mysterious magics send them up north to the Enchanted Forest, that is covered in an impenetrable mist. Yet, it parts for them. The deeper they go into the forest, the more they discover about themselves, their family, the spirits, Arendelle… so that only one thing can be said for certain: Nothing will ever be the same again.

This film was polarizing.

In the cultural zeitgeist, it was a massive success like its predecessor, exceeding Frozen as the highest grossing animated film of all time. It received mostly positive reviews and it would go on to be nominated for multiple awards, including an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. The Disney merchandising machinery was running at full speed and earned the company many more millions within a short amount of time. The limited edition dolls were sold out on the same day as release! However, it notably did not have the same cultural reach that its predecessor had. “Into the Unknown,” to many, was not comparable to “Let it Go.” And the film was nominated aplenty, but never actually received any awards.

However, it was within the fandom that this polarization was seen the clearest.

Frozen II made good on its promise that nothing would ever be the same for these characters. The sisters, though still as close as ever, no longer lived under the same roof by the end of the film. Elsa abdicated her crown for her duties as the Fifth Spirit and Guardian of the Enchanted Forest, while Anna took over as Queen of Arendelle. This separation, whilst to some was a step-up for the sisters, others saw as a step back. This debate rages in the fandom to this day, and many, many fans on Tumblr, Reddit, and other social media prefer Frozen to its sequel.

The fandom did gain some new content, including the addition of multiple ships. There were two that were rather popular. The first was Agduna (Agnarr/Iduna), which came about because of the major focus Frozen II had on them, the sisters’ parents. The second was Elsamaren (Elsa/Honeymaren), which came about because Honeymaren had a minor, but important interaction with Elsa in the film that sent her on the right path to Ahtohallan.

Just as Frozen II’s main theme—change—impacted the sisters, so to it did the fandom. The polarizing effect of the film lead to quite passionate arguments over its content. However, the fandom did not get any smaller or lose any passion. People continued to create, debate, discuss, and post about Frozen and Frozen II. In interviews, the cast and crew said that Frozen II was made to grow up with the audience who were there when the first film was released in theaters. With that in mind, the fandom no longer looked like it did when Frozen first came out.

Things change.

But we can still all agree on one thing: We love Frozen 💕

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California - August 9, 2024

LATE-BREAKING NEWS: American YouTube Star 'Motionwarrior' evicted her home in New York, became homelessness and permanently leaves their YouTube channel [#K5NewsFMExclusive]

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelanced News Writer, Online Media Reporter and News Presenter of OneNETnews)

MANHASSET, NEW YORK -- A YouTube content creator named 'Motionwarrior', whose real name as Ms. Rachel, hailing from Port Washington in New York was unjustly evicted last month, where she is now became homeless, because of her mental health, severe financial constraints, college difficulties that forced to be voluntarily dropped out, and completely rejected for having a job in her own state of America.

Her friends in high school & college combined, as well with families are all in part ways to lose contact from their personal life and internet circle, feeling alone and unable to understand why their inactivity happened, or need for time to realign themselves led to friendships ending.

Ms. Rachel, known online as 'Motionwarrior' is a 23 y/o female American YouTuber and self-freelanced animator. Her content on YouTube sparked nearly 200,000 subscribers, after she was first joined on this video-sharing platform in the late mid-June 2015. She occasionally focuses on content related to video games, animation and storytelling. It covers various topics, including relatable experiences, her school life and more.

But that's not all, her potential earnings in statistics according to SocialBlade are for annual earnings generate nearly between U$D600 to U$D9,500 (or PHP35,100 to PHP554,758). It is unclear if she was a legitimate member for monetization of the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP). She was taking a break from her own YouTube channel, after the previously uploaded "Stealing My Mom's Credit Card 2" a few years back in late August 2020, but this came out very unexpectedly. Rachel quit her video-sharing platform permanently.

Rachel talks about what they have gone through with their YouTube channel when her videos not reaching their typical online viewers, subscribers complaining that they aren't seeing uploads in their feeds, and self-criticism regarding their content that was yet to have possibly been shadowbanned on its search results. They mention becoming overly critical of their videos and developing an unhealthy means of self-discipline, leading to immense self-hatred and a belief that their efforts were not enough.

For years, the Coronavirus Disease-19 (CoViD-19) affecting New Yorkers including herself -- confirmed positive during the global pandemic days. But today, however, in a final video uploaded on Saturday (July 6th, 2024), Rachel discusses the intense incidents and situations they faced while attending her college and commuting in New York, leading to issues in their personal life and family unraveling into chaos and brokenness due to mental health concerns. Comparing to 'VidCon' at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, previously on the early mid-July 2019, added into pressure to perform better on YouTube and being forced to attend college despite financial constraints.

Last month on Thursday (June 13th, 2024)… Her image, family and personality of YouTube have reportedly evicted and became homeless, paying the last ounce of a local hotel room while trying to seek help personally online or facing suicide in advance. Theoratically, Rachel needs to change strategies and self re-training by trying make something new to viewers without criticizing her negativity in mental health. It is their way of humbly and shamefully pleading for assistance to support her family at this trying moment.

Wrapping of her final video uploaded on YouTube, Rachel setting up her own GoFundMe page and pitching for donations of U$D859,000 (or nearly PHP50.2M). Minimum donations starts at U$D5 and up. Since 'Motionwarrior' cannot afford to attend 'VidCon' events and other several reasons today, you can be part of it with your support to donate via the GoFundMe website.

Life goes hard about money, her dream job but later rejected, and brazenly call it quits on her YouTube channel… The reality is to keep trying what is best until you succeed, rather failing to yourself to attract new audiences. One day, 'Motionwarrior' will soon become popular if she is eligible to collab other YouTubers like 'JaidenAnimations', 'Saberspark' and among others, once she is yet to recover her personal life when pursuing her dreams by choosing the right paths to the future.

Disney’s D23 expo is back and a slate of upcoming projects including those from Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar have been announced.

Disney’s D23 expo, a biennial event where announcements for upcoming projects from Disney’s movie and television studios are made, returned to the Anaheim Convention Center in California from September 9 through11. While the event was originally scheduled to occur in 2021, it was pushed back to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in time for the expo to be the launching point for the 100th-anniversary celebration of 1923, the year Walt Disney discovered the company and the reason behind the 23 in D23’s name.

Panels included such studios as Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, Pixar, 20th Century Studios, Walt Disney Studios, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Disney Branded Television. There was a plethora of information shared, giving audiences a glimpse at what’s to come from Disney, including such popular franchises as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars.

With Marvel, footage from the last film of Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was shared. It’s the next theatrical MCU release, hitting theaters on November 11 as a sequel to the blockbuster, Black Panther. The first film of Phase 5 of the MCU was screened, featuring new shots of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is slated to be released on February 17.

Tim Blake Nelson and Shira Hass were added to the cast of the theatrical start of Anthony Mackie’s era as Captain America, Captain America: New World Order, which is scheduled to come out May 3, 2024. Other 2024 films include Thunderbolts, which will feature an all-star cast of characters from other MCU films, including Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost, Olga Kurylenko’s Taskmaster, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’  Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

While no casting announcements were made yet, Matt Shakman was announced as the director for the anticipated reboot of the Fantastic Four, which is to be released on November 8, 2024.

As for the television front for Marvel, the trailer for 2023’s Secret Invasion, featuring Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, premiered along with the trailer for Marvel Studio’s first TV special, a Halloween-themed title called Werewolf by Night, and casting announcements for Ironheart, Armor Wars, and Loki season 2, featuring Shakira Barrera, Don Cheadle, and Ke Huy Quan, respectively, were made. There was a special look at Echo as well as a discussion about Daredevil: Born Again, set to begin production in 2023.https://www.youtube.com/embed/da7BYWyvwO8?feature=oembed

Lucasfilm made its presence known with the trailer for Indiana Jones 5, starring Harrison Ford in the iconic role, along with a new trailer for Willow, a new take on the 1988 fantasy with the announcement of Christian Slater being added to the cast.

On the television side of things, trailers for the Diego Luna starring series Andor, which will premiere on Disney+ on September 21, season 3 of The Mandalorian starring Pedro Pascal, and the “short-form animated anthology series” Tales of the Jedi, set to premiere October 26, were all released. It was also announced that season 2 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch was pushed from September 28 to January 4.

The D23 crowd was greeted with footage from the 20th Century for Avatar: The Way of Water, the long-awaited sequel of one of the highest-grossing films of all time, 2009’s Avatar.  There were also sneak peeks for theatrical films including the prequel to 2019’s The Lion King, called, Mufasa: The Lion King set for a 2024 release, along with a new teaser trailer for 2023’s The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey paying incredible homage to 1989 beloved animated classic.

Animation helped make Disney famous and a household name and this D23 proves that Disney still has a stronghold in the world of drawn images come to life. With theatrical releases, the trailer was released for the next Disney Animation feature film, Strange World, described as following, “a legendary family of explorers on a mission to a mysterious planet inhabited by surreal lifeforms,” which opens on November 23 in theaters.
