If you're starting to tire of the platoons of Frozen parodies, covers, tributes and videos... then here's another one! And, if you are tiring of the sweetness and Disney-ness of the film, this might be just the parody/cover/tribute/video for you: this video wonders what a horror version of Frozen would look like. And it's really rather good.

If you're starting to tire of the platoons of Frozen parodies, covers, tributes and videos... then here's another one! And, if you are tiring of the sweetness and Disney-ness of the film, this might be just the parody/cover/tribute/video for you: this video wonders what a horror version of Frozen would look like.

Watch: Epic New Promo for Disney's Frozen
Frozen is riding a tidal wave of momentum right now, and - particularly with some international release dates still to come, and a hopefully big Christmas period haul in the US, UK, and other territories - Disney are capitalising on that, by building the well-deserved hype surrounding the film. Namely, check out this powerful new promo for the film, focusing on the stellar reviews it's earned.
For the record, I've seen it three times now, and loved it whole-heartedly every single time.

Watch: Tom Hanks Talks About Being Walt Disney for Saving Mr. Banks
Mary Poppins is inarguably one of Walt Disney's crowning achievements - up there with Steamboat Willie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Disneyland. Saving Mr. Banks tells the story of that story, and how Walt Disney acquired the rights to author P.L. Travers's original book. Emma Thompson plays Travers, and Tom Hanks is the first person to play Walt Disney; Hanks talked about the pressure and importance of taking on such a high profile role in a new featurette for the film, below.

85 years ago today, Mickey Mouse first appeared on our screens in the now classic Steamboat Willie (watch the short in our recap for Disney 90th anniversary here). To commemorate this milestone, Disney have released a brand new clip from Get a Horse!, the vintage-styled Mickey short that precedes Frozen in cinemas.

Watch: Olaf Sings in New Frozen Clip
Disney continue their recent Frozen marketing blitz with a brand-spanking new clip from the film, featuring Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) singing a fun new song, called "In Summer!" Contrary to the impression early over-saturation gave us of him, Olaf actually seems immensely loveable, and this cute, barmy song certainly helps only makes one's affection for the little snowy fella grow.

New Monsters University Promo, "Acceptance Letter"
Pixar have just rolled out a sweet promo for Monsters University, showing off some new footage and focusing on the Oozma Kappa fraternity to which Mike and Sulley belong in the film. It certainly seems as though acceptance and friendship are going to be the main themes of the film - and gorgeous animation and great humour are just nice little bonuses.
Monsters University hits US cinemas on 21st June and UK ones on 12th July.

New Monsters University Clip Shows Mike and Sulley's "First Morning"
Pixar's Monsters University advertising is quickly ramping up to the studio's usual frenzied peaks; a couple of days ago we got a new mini-trailer for the film and late yesterday we got one of the first official clips from the film.
"First Morning" shows Mike and Sulley's... well, their first morning, in the house of their fraternity, Oozma Kappa, it seems. It shows the perfectly-timed shedding joke we've seen in previous trailers, and gives us a little glimpse at the pre-Inc. relationship between Billy Crystal's Mike Wazowski and John Goodman's Sulley.
The animation is as stunning and the comedy as golden as we've come to expect from Pixar and their previous Monsters film. Monsters U, directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae, hits US cinemas on 21st June, and UK ones on 12th July.

Inside Moon Bear: Discarded Storyboards and More

The short is based on a storybook Scott made in college and is in the early stages of production. As such, he recently rolled out the above video, explaining the paramount importance of storyboarding and offering up some discarded boards from the short - set to Michael Giacchino's magnificent Up score.

"I Am the D'ohnger": Breaking Bad Meets The Simpsons in New Couch Gag
Much like the fan-made picture we shared a while back, The Simpsons is being mashed up with Breaking Bad, but in a more official manner this time: The Huffington Post shared the above video, which is the couch gag from the next episode of the hit Fox animated series.
The episode, What Animated Women Want, will star the voices of Wanda Sykes and Internet-God George Takei and airs in the US this Sunday on Fox. In the meantime, enjoy the show's opening, in which Marge cooks up some of that sweet blue stuff - cupcakes, that is - on repeat.
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston has previously lent his voice to the season 23 Simpsons episode, The Spy Who Learned Me. Both he and co-star Aaron Paul appeared in hilarious fashion at the end of the gag. News broke on Wednesday that Cranston had joined the cast of DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda 3.
Breaking Bad begins the final stretch of its final season this summer - although a spin-off may already be in the works. Interestingly, Matt Groening once toyed with the idea of a live-action Krusty the Clown.
Sorry for the terrible pun in the title. Couldn't resist.

Terry Crews Brings Us An Excited Peek at Cloudy 2
The always entertaining Terry Crews will have the unenviable task of filling Mr. T's shoes when he replaces him in voicing Officer Earl in Sony Pictures Animation's September release, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. So, the White Chicks and Expendables star today brings us a nature documentary-meets-Jurassic Park style clip, as he narrates a sighting of the elusive 'sasquash'. The clip features gorgeous animation, a healthy dose of quirky humour and a whole lot of food puns - check it out above.
Directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, and executive produced by the directors of the original (who are currently directing The Lego Movie for Warner Bros.), Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 hits cinemas on 27th September (US)/25th October (UK).

Watch: New Sneak Peek at Planes
Disney are sure promoting Planes rather heavily; last week they rolled out extensive voice cast details and a fun new poster. Yesterday, the studio released a "special sneak peek" at the spin-off from Pixar's Cars, which is being handled by DisneyToon Studios.
The clip features Dane Cook's Dusty showing his racing prowess against a couple of jets. Sure, the dialogue and voice acting is a bit cheesy, but the animation's superb, the tone and music are very well handled and the creative, plane-inspired backgrounds are very clever. All in all, Planes is looking set to be a surprise hit when it opens in August (9th in US, 16th in UK).
Want to know a bit more? Our friends over at The Rotoscopers have put together a podcast about their impressions from the test screening. Check it out here.

Party-Packed New Monsters University TV Spot
A new TV spot for Pixar's fourteenth feature film, Monsters University, aired during the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards on Saturday, and you can now check it out online (embedded above). The new TV spot certainly hammers home the collegiate theme of the film, with raving music, hilarious dance moves and general merriment - long story short, it's a helluva lot of fun.
Despite some focus on the actual university, this spot focuses more directly on the actual film behind it all (directed by Dan Scanlon). It also boasts some absolutely breathtaking animation; with this, and The Blue Umbrella preceding it, this is going to be one great looking package when it opens on 21st June in the US, and 12th July in the UK.

Two New Viral Monsters University Ads
Pixar are continuing their viral marketing rollout for Monsters University, with a series of believably cheesy university advertisements for the titular college. The clips, as well as showing off some absolutely breathtaking visuals, (just how far computer animated fur has come in twelve years is absolutely astounding) boast some cool new footage.

Take a Look Into Pixar and the Filmmaking Process Behind Brave
Pixar is the most beloved animation studio on the planet, and the most sought after. The studio, who most recently output the Golden Globe and BAFTA winning Brave, isn't open to the public, so, any little glimpse inside the illustrious halls of its Emeryville campus is always welcome - and here's another great one for you.
Nightline's Bob Woodruff visited Pixar, where he spoke to Brave director Mark Andrews (who engaged in a little sword fight with story supervisor Brian Larsen), producer Katherine Sarafian and executive producers Andrew Stanton and John Lasseter. It's another great little peak into how the cogs turn at Pixar, who, as this video points out, may take home their seventh Best Animated Feature Academy Award this Sunday.
The embed may be a bit dodgy, so you can check the video out here too.
