Abigail Disney speaks out on the Estate Tax, she’s for it
Last week Abigail Disney, Walt’s grandniece, published an opinion piece in the USA Today. The subject was the status of the Estate Tax, she’s for it.
…the estate tax is an expression of our deepest American values: that we live in a meritocracy, not an aristocracy; that every generation is a fresh start; and that we choose to build a society in which wealth and opportunity do not accrue to people simply for being born wealthy.
Glenn Shadix RIP
I was very sad to hear that Glenn Shadix died after a fall in his home. He was best known as Otho from Beetlejuice, but had many memorable roles, including a number for Disney.
Shadix’s performance as Gertrude Stein in a stage play was spotted by Tim Burton and the two became friends. This led to some very memorable roles for Shadix in Burton’s films and elsewhere in Hollywood including a lot of recent voice over work (including some for Disney). In Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmass, he voiced the Mayor of Halloweentown.
Review: Disney’s Beach Club resort
The Beach Club is a nice resort – it was never one of my favorites, but it also wasn’t the scene of any horrendous experiences. I haven’t stayed here for about 5 or 6 years, but on previous visits I’d stayed on the Concierge floor (as I did for this visit) and always found it to be enjoyable. While nothing awful happened during our 4 day visit, I can't say that I was overly impressed by the hotel. I walked away feeling that it was nice, but no better than many other upscale (non-Disney) resorts I've visited in the past.
Disney releases Tangled Viral Video – Double Rainbow Meme
So I’m assuming you’ve heard or seen the Double Rainbow meme. Now keep that in mind while watching this:
That is Disney Marketing’s attempting a viral video to promote Tangled, the next Feature Animated Film from Walt Disney Animation Studios. With a few minor consistency issues, I think they did a pretty good job. How about you?
Btw, if you follow the link at the end of the video it takes you to Disney’s Facebook Page for Tangled.
