Million Dollar Arm is an incredible true story about two young men who went from never throwing a baseball to getting a Major League tryout.

Contestants will be able to test their skills at the Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, Calif., ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida or the Tribeca Family Festival in New York on April 25 & 26 from 7:00a.m. to 6:00p.m. The three contestants from each location who throw the fastest pitches will advance to the finals and have a chance to compete for a $1 million prize at the world premiere of Disney’s Million Dollar Arm in Hollywood on May 6.

Official contest rules are available on Disney.com’s Million Dollar Arm website located at http://disney.com/PitchingContest

Based on a true story, Million Dollar Arm is the story of how sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) finds that business has changed and things aren’t going well for his career. In a desperate effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a major league baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a reality show competition called “The Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout Ray Poitevint (Alan Arkin), he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from Slumdog Millionaire) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from Life of Pi), two 18-year-old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make some fast money, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India, the boys, who have never left their rural villages, are likewise challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball, JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell), learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, Disney’s Million Dollar Arm stars Jon Hamm, Aasif Mandvi, Bill Paxton, Suraj Sharma, Lake Bell and Alan Arkin. Disney’s Million Dollar Arm will be released in the United States on May 16, 2014.

Custom VinylMadness Begins!

It’s finally here! The first round of Custom VinylMadness starts tomorrow, March 2nd. This month long voting process will determine Vinylmation fandom’s favorite Custom Vinylmation.

Using a familiar looking bracket system, each vinyl submitted has been randomly drawn out of a hat to determine it’s location in the bracket. Customs will be paired off and fans will choose their most favorite of the two. The custom with the most votes then moves on to the next round. There are a total of 56 entries this year, so customs in the 1 through 8 spots will have a bye in the first round.

Every round will start with a post announcing that round’s pairs. Fans will have two days to vote for their favorites at facebook.com/destinationvinylmation. On the third day we will announce the winners who will be moving on and also post the next round.

There are four regions to the bracket labeled “Fantasyland”, “Tomorrowland”, “Adventureland” and “Frontierland”. These names are just to help organize the figures and mean nothing about the location of the artist.

Some quick notes. All figures will be shown with the name their artist gave them along with a number. The artist’s names will not be revealed until the end of the contest. Artists, please feel free to share and post to your Facebook groups asking people to vote for your figures. Please keep these posts positive; as in “Go vote for my figure” as opposed to negative “Don’t vote for this figure, it’s ugly”. DV reserves the right to disqualify any artist’s custom entry. If that artist is found to be making negative statements against another artist or custom during this contest. Let’s keep this a celebration of the art form!

Congrats to every artist, any of these entries is worthy of the top spot, but only one can win it! That winner will also get a banner on the DV home page for 3 months that can link to the artist’s web page, Facebook page, or store!
