Mickey Mouse was honored at San Diego Comic Con with a special portrait to commemorate the iconic character’s 90th birthday this year. The painting was revealed during D23’s “Celebrating 90 Years of Mickey Mouse” panel, and was created by legendary animator, Mark Henn.
The portrait is part of a long standing tradition between D23, the Walt Disney Archives, and the Walt Disney Animation Studios. The title of this year’s painting has been dubbed “Spreading Happiness Around the World,” and is one of many ways Mickey will be celebrated around the globe this ear. Henn follows in the footsteps of artists such as Disney Legend John Hench, who crafted five of Mickey’s official portraits.
“It is one of the great honors of my career to be asked to paint Mickey’s 90th birthday portrait,” says Henn. “I was greatly inspired by the portraits painted by John Hench. I wanted to capture some of the same style and sense of youth that John achieved in his portraits.” The painting will appear on the Fall 2018 cover of Disney twenty-three, the quarterly publication sent exclusively to Gold Members of D23.

Ashley Eckstein and Her Universe returned to the world’s biggest stage to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic Con. The highly anticipated event honored multiple milestones, featuring series such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Powerpuff Girls, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Eckstein started the show with a heartwarming message about the goals of the event, as well as the importance of fandom in all of our lives. “Milestones should be celebrated. Behind every milestone is a story, a journey. At San Diego Comic Con, we celebrate our favorite shows, films, stories, characters and all these things represent so much more than just an interest or hobby. These powerful properties and the lessons they teach us have changed the way we live our lives. We’re all here because we have an emotional connection to our fandoms that fuel our need to create, collect, consume, and connect.”
In that spirit, models took to the runway, showcasing both Eckstein’s latest collection as well as custom designs painstakingly made by a handful of upcoming and aspiring designers. “Year five of the Her Universe Fashion Show represents countless journeys. Behind every designer and model is a story. Lives have been changed, life long friendships have been formed, and careers have been launched, ” Eckstein added in reference to the creative minds that came together for the show.
Fans rejoiced in the spectacle, being surprised and wowed throughout the evening. One of the biggest surprises came from Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker. Hooded and silent, she revealed herself after a dramatic entrance on the catwalk. Whittaker was met with thunderous applause and gasps from Eckstein herself.
When asked about her fashion choice as the Doctor, she honed in on making it universal and fully inclusive to all genders. “The main feature for me and the overriding sense of style have to be comfort”, Wittaker exclaimed. “We have the sky and we have space…I wanted to represent the sky I fell through and potentially the dawn of the new one which is me as the Thirteenth one.”
The Doctor wasn’t the only one making waves, as fans were also greeted by Matt Lanter and Dee Bradley Baker. In honor of the Star Wars: Clone Wars 10th Anniversary, the voice actors shared their reactions to the breaking news released at Comic Con earlier that day, which revealed the series would be returning with all new episodes exclusively for the upcoming Disney streaming service. “To have it back so incredible! I think it’s something that we’ve always dreamed of and wanted as fans and as performers on the show getting back together and doing it again”, said Lanter.
It was truly a night to remember, never ceasing to remind everyone to embrace their love of pop culture, to express their fandom, and to create something truly special. You can check out a full gallery of some of the amazing work below, which features some of the award winning elements of the night. The gallery also showcases Longefly’s latest fall collection, which was an official event sponsor.
You can learn more about the details of the Her Universe Fashion Show by checking out the official blog! A full video of the event was teased by Eckstein, will be made available at a future date. Make sure to stop by the Her Universe’s official site to see all the latest collections, which are now on sale in celebration of San Diego Comic Con.
Return to the Oasis with Ready Player One’s Blu-Ray/4K release, featuring exclusive behind the scenes looks, stunning visuals, and in depth interviews. The set boasts a 90 minute feature list, taking you on a 6 part journey through the making of the film. For the true film geek, it’s a wonderful adventure that will light the very fires of imagination. Each featurette is chalk full of detail, painting the reality of difficulty it was to bring the film to the big screen. It also sheds some light on the incredible technology used in building the virtual world.
Steven Spielberg took on the project with no previous knowledge of the story or the technology needed to make the film come together. With the Oasis, over 60 percent of the film was done in a digital space versus real functioning sets. Rather than leave the work to the special effects crew and hope for the best, Spielberg jumped right in, making sure he was directly involved with every step of the process. It’s a real testament to his faith in the film, but also to his directorial prowess.
For Ready Player One, pre rendered environments were created. The cast and crew had the opportunity to view the locations via VR headsets and real time monitors. As the filming commenced, Spielberg also had the chance to set up shots in a special editing tent, generating over 6500 unique cuts and angles. From a technical standpoint, it’s a marvelous achievement, allowing a more realistic portrayal in a purely digital space. It was a daunting undertaking, and safe to say, a widely huge success when you view the final product.
Here’s a look at the full features list!
Game Changer: Cracking the Code
Effects for a Brave New World
Level Up: Sound for the Future
High Score: Endgame
Ernie & Tye’s Excellent Adventure
The ’80’s: You’re The Inspiration
The nostalgia level is also in high gear. We get to ride in Cline’s DeLorean, take a closer look at the iconic Shining scene, and see the magic behind bringing back Alan Silvestri’s legendary score from Back to the Future. Having Silvestri return was a match made in heaven, giving a balance in score that retains the power of the past while melding into a unique and new sound that fits the film perfectly. With so many amazing easter eggs, nods, and references, it all comes together to create pure cinematic magic. For those who want the full scoop, you can read our full film review here.
You can find your copy of Ready Player One and discover more about the film by visiting Warner Bros’ official site. To mark the release of the film on Blu-Ray, Warner Bros. will also be hosting a special pop up challenge at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Fans will get the opportunity to test their 80s Trivia, explore the Oasis, and visit a set piece recreation of Room 237 from The Shining. Admission will be free to all participants throughout the weekend of the convention. You can find out all the details by visiting www.readyplayeronechallenge.com.

Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) with his long time friend Winnie the Pooh in Disney’s live-action adventure CHRISTOPHER ROBIN.
Winnie the Pooh is floating off the page and into the real world this summer with the release of Disney’s upcoming picture, Christopher Robin. With the big debut only weeks away, we had the chance to catch up with legendary voice actor, Jim Cummings, who shared his experiences working on the film and his thoughts on bringing our favorite silly old bear to life.
Q: It’s so exciting to see you return as Pooh. Now that he’s in the real world, how was it approaching the character this time around? Did it feel any different or pose any new challenges?
“It did and it didn’t. I think the bond that Pooh and Christopher have was immediate. In Pooh’s world, he only sees the world through honey colored glasses. Seeing Christopher as an adult throws him a little bit, but he looks straight through and still sees Christopher Robin in there. It comes through beautifully and is quite touching. You get nostalgic and go ‘Oh Gosh! Has it been 40 years since he’s seen him?’ But boom, once they’re back, they’re back…It’s a boy and his bear…We are off to the races!”
Q: The film was a surprise, since fans did not know the film was going to be released until this year. When did Disney approach you about the project, was it planned behind the curtain for a while before being announced?
“It was peculating behind the scenes for a good while. They called me up and said, ‘Hey would you like to go meet with Marc Forster and Brigham Taylor’ and I said ‘My goodness yes!’ Marc is a true artist and he’s got a beautiful vision and he realizes it wonderfully. He tells the story and brings you right into the Hundred Acre Wood…He brings the Hundred Acre Wood right into you too. It’s a beautiful thing. Christopher gets back in touch with his inner self and his family, and his inner child. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
Q: Have you had a chance to see the finished film yet?
“I probably saw it at 75 percent. I haven’t seen it completely. I wasn’t cast as Tigger originally. They started showing focus groups and target audiences the film. It was such a difference, the people didn’t warm to the character the way they usually did. Chris O’Dowd is a fantastic actor. I think he’s great. People ask me about doing voices and I think what happens is you get a certain imprint in your head, if it it sounds like it it does, if it doesn’t it just doesn’t…Tigger sounded a certain way for almost 40 years, so it’s hard to bring it back in a different persona.”
Q: You’re so well known in the Disney community and have done so many voices over the years, what makes Pooh so special for you?
“I’ve always been a fan of Winnie the Pooh. The original ones in the 60s, I was still in the audience. When I think of certain Disney characters/projects like Davy Crockett, Zorro, or the Mickey Mouse Club and then Winnie the Pooh, it’s woven into Disneyana and is also woven into Americana. I think they are all threads out of the American experience. I think it’s a true honor to be associated, to be part of such a beautiful tradition…You can go to any country and you can say Winnie the Pooh and everyone will know what you’re talking about. It’s a universal feeling.”
Q: Are there any other characters in the film other than Pooh that you relate to?
“Definitely Tigger. I’m probably a cross between Pooh and Tigger. I’m a little laid back, but I gotta bounce.”
Q: With shows like DuckTales coming back in the spotlight, do you ever imagine what it would be like to see one of your classic shows return? What classic Disney Afternoon Character would you like to see come back?
“Definitely Darkwing Duck. That’s for sure. I’ve always had a soft spot for Don Karnage (Tale Spin). They brought Don Karnage back and nobody told me about that. They got someone else to come in and sing a song…That was weird. To not even be told was odd, I’m not sure how happy I am about that. It’s like someone taking your kid to the park and telling you to stay home. Darkwing it seems is one they are always ready to do a reboot for. It’s fine with me, I’m right here.”
Jim Cummings will return as Pooh in Disney’s Christoper Robin, which releases on August 3rd. Make sure to stay up to date on all the latest details, features, and video for the film, which can be seen by clicking here.

Black Lightning has taken the CW by storm, bringing in a unique and fresh look at the world of super heroes. The show is a breakaway from the norm of the Arrowverse, being a standalone series focusing on the family of Jefferson Pierce. The series itself is raw, real, and a constant struggle between being true to yourself and protecting the common good.
https://youtu.be/qp-ZnwhSp5I
Pierce, played by Cress Williams, is the principal of his local high school, being a symbol of strength and peace for the African American community. Yet, very few know a deep secret that he has been struggling with for almost a decade. Nine years prior, Pierce took to the streets as the legendary vigilante, Black Lightning. With incredible strength and the ability to harness the power of electricity, Black Lightning helped take down some of the city’s darkest agents, but at a steep personal cost. Despite all his hard work, things are now worse than ever, as crime surges and consumes the community. Pierce will have to take up the mantle of Black Lightning once again, hoping to find peace for not only his city, but also his family.
The series is a pillar of diversity, taking us beyond the generic super hero story and into the life of an African American centric community. Having that representation creates a unique perspective that is definitely worth exploring. It’s all blended together with strong character development and story, bringing viewers right into the personal struggle and drama that Black Lightning must overcome. Everything revolves around family and what it means to stand up for what you believe in. That’s a message that everyone can relate to, regardless of background, which is key to how this series ticks.
https://youtu.be/VzZG7sKLwis
The series set comes with a handful of features, including a huge assortment of deleted scenes. For those wanting to dive right in, the majority of the features can be found on the second disc, including two short featurettes discussing the core themes behind the show. The first, titled “Art Imitating Life: The Pilot Episode”, focuses on what the creative team was trying to achieve with opening up the world of Black Lightning to the audience. It’s an up close look at what to look for in that first episode, bringing you right into the creative process.
The second feature, titled “A Family of Strength” brings you an in depth conversation of what it means to be a part of the Pierce family. Pierce will find that he’s not alone in his battle, as both his daughters are learning their own abilities and powers. As the series progresses, the connections and bonds they all share grow, and the featurette really brings it all front and center. Viewers will also be able to view the show’s debut Comic Con Panel, which is sure to be exciting leading into development for this year’s big event.

Few words inspire adventure and travel like Jeep. From its inception in the early 1940s, this first-of-its-kind off-road vehicle took soldiers to battle and civilians to thrilling, hard-to-reach destinations. In the process it became a legend.
So when I got a chance to test drive a new, 2018 Wrangler JL Sport for a week I jumped at the chance.
My getaway began when I picked up the keys to a shiny, black 2-door. The new JL model replaces the outgoing JK and is designed to celebrate Jeep’s off-road history, while improving comfort and on-road driving.
“Jeep has always represented the ultimate in capability and open-air freedom, and our all-new 2018 Wrangler protects that important legacy and takes it into the future,” said Mike Manley, Head of Jeep Brand – FCA Global. “The all-new Wrangler is instantly recognizable as a Jeep, staying true to the original, yet it is better in every way – delivering even more rugged capability, more ride comfort, more fuel efficiency courtesy of several advanced powertrain options, more interior comfort, more safety and more technology.”
The new 2018 Jeep Wrangler is an off-road dream and a fun suburban adventure (photo – jeep.com)
New on 2018 models, the front windshield and grill are slightly more slanted for aerodynamics, the square backlights are set in, and there are air extractors behind the front fender flares to help cool the engine.
The Jeep Brand badge has been moved from the hood back to the side of the aluminum fender – a look reminiscent of past models. Add to this a set of 17-Inch, polished granite crystal wheels, side steps for easy entry, and a slick black soft top with tinted windows and the rugged, luxurious beast I was driving was looking pretty awesome.
After a quick walk-around, I opened the power doors, hoped in the driver seat and pushed the start button. That’s right; the new Wrangler has a push button start, which is something new to me. I then headed for Azusa Canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains.
Along the way, I cranked up the impressive Alpine Premium Audio System, with nine speakers, including a waterproof rear subwoofer, on the floor near the tailgate. The stereo is part of the Wrangler’s new Uconnect 4 media system, that comes with a 7-inch touch screen, featuring AM/FM radio, available SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth Streaming Audio, Voice Command, Hands-Free Calling, Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The touch screen also doubles as a rear back-up camera when the Jeep is in reverse.
The JL is a Jeep dream to drive. It’s like a mix between a truck, a sports car and a little tank. Mine was powered by the efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, with Engine Stop/Start (ESS) Technology that produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. ESS automatically shuts the engine off at full stops, then re-engages for takeoff. The technology is engineered to help deliver an efficient performance, and can be disabled with the push of a button.
The new JL Wrangler comes in lots of fun colors and myriad options (photo-jeep.com)
The Wrangler also came with a new eight-speed automatic transmission specifically calibrated to optimize shift points and deliver maximum torque to all four wheels. The vehicle gets about 17 city/23 hwy mpg.
When I got in the mountains I pulled into Camp Williams Café and General Store for lunch and to turn the soft top into a bikini top. This brings up another new innovation on the Wrangler. There are no more zippers to mess with. To take off the windows, you simple peel back the Velcro and pull the windows from the slots they are in. This is a big plus.
My next stop was the San Gabriel Canyon Off-Highway Vehicle Area. With more than 160 acres of rocky, sandy, river bottom to climb and play in, this was a great place to test the JL’s new four-wheel drive system. “The Command-Trac Part-Time 4×4 System with the NV241 GII transfer case offers legendary off-road capability and helps you conquer obstacles and tackle slick conditions,” says Jeep.
Other cool new features of the 2018 Wrangler include a front windshield that easily folds down; lightweight, high-strength aluminum doors, hinges, hood, fenders and windshield frame; a magnesium swing gate; and the ability to drive through up to 30 inches of water.
