From Shawn Slater on the Disney Parks Blog:
We have some great news to share today! Starting May 3, we’ll be rounding up some good times and bringing a whole new energy to Frontierland at Disneyland park with the opening of the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree.
Encompassing the former Festival Arena site, the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree will feature music, dancing, crafts, pin trading and plenty of Disney characters in their finest Western wear. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we’ll be throwing a good, old fashioned Hoedown, where you can kick up your heels with the likes of Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Chip ‘n Dale. From time to time, classic favorites like Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow, Clara Cluck or those silly Country Bears might even stop by! What’s more, Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree is also going to be the newest spot to catch visiting performing ensembles as part of Disney Performing Arts. Disney Performing Arts provides an opportunity for middle and high school students and community groups from across the country to perform in Disney Parks as well as take workshops taught by entertainment professionals to improve their performance skills. You’ll be able to enjoy some of these young instrumentalists, singers and dancers as they put on the performance of a lifetime onstage at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree.
We posted a few days ago about the entertainment offering coming to Cars Land. Disney has released some concept art of these shows on the Disney Parks Blog.
From Shawn Slater on the Disney Parks Blog:
We recently told you about some of the shows and characters coming to Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure park. Well, that was just the beginning! When Cars Land opens June 15, the tiny town of Radiator Springs will also be teeming with atmosphere entertainment inspired by the Disney•Pixar film, “Cars.”
Big and red on the outside, gentle and good-natured on the inside, Red the Fire Truck shows up with his sirens blaring and his bell ringing, heading to meet up with his good buddy, a Volunteer Firefighter. The Firefighter lets everyone know the flowers in the area need watering. It’s “Red to the Rescue,” but each time the Firefighter attempts to use Red’s hose, it backfires on him! In all the fun, the plants manage to get wet, and you might too! Bringing a completely different kind of beat to the street is “DJ’s Dance & Drive.” DJ, the ultimate party car, rolls into town with his giant speakers, built-in disc changer and his very own dance party, led by a girl named Spinner. This gang stops traffic everywhere they go, creating a spontaneous, interactive dance party. Spinner and the crew teach us moves like the Overdrive, the Reverse and the Hairpin Turn, while DJ calls up the hits, from “Life in the Fast Lane” to “Car Wash.” DJ’s going to shift Cars Land into high gear! Cruise on down to Cars Land this summer at Disney California Adventure park. The residents there will be glad you rolled into town!
Annemarie is back with some all new custom pieces.
Destination Vinylmation: Both of these new customs look amazing. What do you enjoy more, replicating a Disney character more closely like Mad Hatter or developing your own design like the Scarface and why?
Annemarie: That’s a difficult question to answer; I really enjoy doing Disney characters because in my mind they represent Vinylmation, but it’s really fun to have to start from scratch and figure out how I’m going to approach something totally unique. With Scarface, I tried to do something similar to Villains 2, for example, where you’re focusing more on the face than on the body. I thought he’d look more “serious” this way, as opposed to giving him a squat body and arms. The Mad Hatter was a lot of fun because I had so much color and detail to draw from. I actually had to simplify him a bit to give him a cleaner design.
DV: These customs are for OCVinylDon. Tell us about the trading community he has set up.
AM: VinylmationTraders.com is an online community where folks can post what they have for trade/ what they’d like to trade, and hopefully find someone who can meet their needs and in turn help out! It’s been a great experience for me, every one’s been honest and fair and there’s a place where you can leave good feedback, much like eBay. Don has been the moderator over there, and he does a great job. I’m happy to have added to his collection of customs.
