Walt Disney Animation Studios' 'Zootopia' Gets Official Poster

Since the release of Tangled and Frozen I had higher hopes for Walt Disney's upcoming CGI animated movies, that is when we detach it from the studio's PIXAR division. The recent feature length movie releases are a hit that you would wish you could have more. Now in their upcoming presentation, we will get to see the animal side of things like we've never seen before in The Wild.

Zootopia

Zootopia is coming! And the poster is here. It is directed by Byron Howard (best known for Bolt and Tangled) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph) and co-directed by Jared Bush. The movie will feature the voices of Jason Bateman, Ginnifer Goodwin, Shakira, Alan Tudyk, and Katie Lowes.

Check out the new teaser poster of Zootopia, courtesy of Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Zootopia

Synopsis

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia will hit theaters on March 4, 2016.

Official Cover Art And Synopsis For 'The Dinosaur Knights' By Victor Milan Revealed

It's only this month that I received my copy of The Dinosaur Lords after the delivery time needed for it to reach this side of the world: almost two months. It almost always makes me annoyed, of course. It's quite a good thing that new updates on the series has cooled down my initial annoyance....

Just now TOR has released the official cover and synopsis of the second book in the The Dinosaur Lords series, The Dinosaur Knights. The art cover, which was created by Flaptraps art artist (Richard Anderson) outdid himself and I'll let you be the judge of it.

Check out the cover of The Dinosaur Knights by Victor Milan.

The Dinosaur Knights by Victor Milan

Synopsis

Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often cruel world. There are humans on Paradise but dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden, and of war. Armored knights ride dinosaurs to battle legions of war-trained Triceratops and their upstart peasant crews.

Karyl Bogomirsky is one such knight who has chosen to rally those who seek a way from the path of war and madness. The fact that the Empire has announced a religious crusade against this peaceful kingdom, the people who just wish to live in peace anathema, and they all are to be converted or destroyed doesn’t help him one bit.

Things really turn to mud when the dreaded Grey Angels, fabled ancient weapons of the Gods who created Paradise in the first place come on the scene after almost a millennia. Everyone thought that they were fables used to scare children. They are very much real.

And they have come to rid the world of sin…including all the humans who manifest those vices.

The Dinosaur Knights by Victor Milan will be released on July 5, 2016.

Simple Plan Releases New 'I Don’t Wanna Be Sad' Single, Listen To It Now

Simple Plan is back with a heart-lifting single titled I Don’t Wanna Be Sad. It's actually true in a way, since happiness is a choice. So the moment you uttered the phrase you already made your choice and manifested your will. Although if we refer to The Secret we should state in the positive as negations are eliminated when it comes to the workings of the mind.

I Don’t Wanna Be Sad by Simple Plan

The track somehow pulls away from the lead singer's (Pierre Bouvier) usual songs leaning on the sad side. The single follows on with the previously released single, Boom, which also has a positive outlook and message.

Listen to I Don’t Wanna Be Sad by Simple Plan, or you can sing along if you are in the mood just like I am.


I Don’t Wanna Be Sad is the latest single lifted from the band's upcoming fifth studio album. The album title and track list are kept under wraps at the moment... but I will share them to you once they become available.

Based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, The Jungle Book is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli, a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan, who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera, and the freespirited bear Baloo. Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa, a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie, who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.
