• Mickey Mouse: Member of Hamas?

  Disney is a notoriously litigious corporation that defends what it feels belongs to them, whether intellectual property rights or the city of Anaheim. So it'll be interesting to see what, if any, reaction, they'll do after this children's television show aired on Hamas' Palestinian television network that featured a Mickey Mouse rip-off railing against the Zionists and dancing to a song about an AK-47. So Disney: will you give the terrorists the same treatment you give Florida day care centers?

• Disneyland Loves the Dodgers (Ingrates Edition)

  Remember when Disney owned your Anaheim Angels? Yeah, we've erased that from our memory as well (though not that sweet, sweet 2002 World Series win, por supuesto). But the fact remains that Disney is still very much an Orange County institution, especially Disneyland. That's why it shocked us last night, as we were slipping into the food coma caused by the Los Angeles Dodgers' $35 all-you-can-eat right-field pavilion special, to see that Disneyland is not only a major advertiser for the Dodgers,

• The Aquarium of The Pacific's Newest Attractions

  Yesterday was a perfect day in sunny, beautiful Long Beach to go swimming with the fishes at the Aquarium of the Pacific. Well, I didn’t go swimming personally, but I could have. Swimming in the shark tank is just one of the new attractions offered by the aquarium to celebrate its tenth anniversary all year long. It's kind of like Disney’s "Year of a Million Dreams," except it really will only last for one year. Though the festivities officially begin today, I was lucky enough to preview th

• There's no Tex in Teixeira

  Others on this blog will undoubtedly dissect your Anaheim Angels' embarrassing flameout against the Boston Red Sox, so I'll just focus on the linguistic disaster that is the Halos' radio announcers (excluding the always-classy Jose Mota). One of them--Rory Markas? Terry Smith? Steve Physioc? Maybe even Rex Hudler?--keeps insisting on calling free-agent-to-be first baseman Mark Teixeira "Tex." This despite the fact his only connection with the Lone Star State is playing with the Texas Rangers, wh

• It's a Quick Read 29

  Orange County Register: Anaheim police want to question two men shown in an Angel Stadium surveillance video in the opening day assault death of Brian Powers, 27, of Buena Park. That's right, sports fans, they're even watching you in the cheap seats. . . . A man who was arrested at Disneyland last year was sentenced to 429 years to life in jail. No, it's not Mickey Mouse justice. Police learned wanted felon Anthony Hislar, 27, of Monrovia, was at the theme park, where he was apprehended and

• Dishney: Mickey Mouse Makeover!

  Courtesy DisneyMICKEY SMASH!​So first Dora the Explorer, then My Little Ponies and then Strawberry Shortcake were given brand new, "grown up," hipper looks for the too cool, tech-obsessed, short attention span of Gen-Y. But the next familiar cartoon character to receive an extreme makeover?    Mickey Mouse. Yep.Fearing that the Mouse has transmogrified into something more of a corporate icon than a cartoon character loved and sought after by generations and generations the world
