Editorial: R.I.P. LucasArts, Beware the House of Mouse

The writing has been on the wall for awhile, but last week it became official: legendary game developer LucasArts is no more. Ever since Disney struck a deal to acquire all of George Lucas’s properties (consisting of LucasArts, Industrial Light and Magic, THX, and, of course, Lucasfilm) back in November 2012, this scenario has merely …

Mai Tunes: Buzz Lightyear of Star Command

I’m a huge Disney fan, I know of very few people who aren’t, but with the announcement of Disney Infinity, a sandbox game that looks to bring together the best of Disney and Pixar, we thought it was only time to check it out on Mai Tunes. We’ve already kind of beaten the Disney Afternoon …

Mai Tunes: Mighty Max

This one is a bit of a stretch, and just the odd ways my brain works at times. Last night, I read that Disney is set to reboot Max Steel. A franchise I have no real connection to, but I do love reading animation news. But before I saw the trailer, I was trying to …

Mai Tunes: The Disney Afternoon Opening

While we already covered the Disney Afternoon Opening for Nostalgia with a Twist, I thought with the news of Disney and Netflix’s deal, it would be fitting to revisit once more. While nothing from the Disney Afternoon has found its way on the service, we hope it’s only a matter of time before the likes …

Mai Tunes: Aladdin TAS

This weekend marked the 20th anniversary of two major brands. We already discussed Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Saturday with a brand new Sonic Saturday column. But November 25th also marked the 20th anniversary of the release of Disney’s Aladdin onto big screens. Aladdin, like a lot of things in 1992 I found out, was …

Ask a Dork: Disney/Lucasfilm/Marvel Crossovers

“Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm and Marvel, what would be your dream crossover with those three properties? In what medium?” Kingdom Hearts with Lightsabers? An X-men and Indiana Jones adventure ride? American Graffiti sequel starring Tron? Nah, I’m pretty sure crossovers are the worst thing to happen to almost any medium. If that sounds just …

Review Shooter: Wreck-It Ralph

Wreck-It Ralph will go down as the first great video game movie. I wanted to start off on this note because for several decades now, gamers have had to deal with a less than stellar track-record when it came to video game films. We’ve watched as popular franchises like Super Mario and Resident Evil made …

Ask a Dork: Bad Movies

“What makes a movie “bad” to you? Are there elements that are absent or over indulgent?” I may be outside the norm on this one, but it is my opinion that movies should be judged on how enjoyable they are to watch. We can all take stabs at poor cinematography, ineffective blocking, derpy acting, inept …
