for the next blog, this article is called "The Magic Kingdom Declares War on Skylanders and Minecraft." its about a new video game by disney. a multipart project that is equal parts skylanders and minecraft. its more complex then another game disney created. its called Disney Infinity. its agruably the most successful family oriented game in recent memory.  much like skylanders and minecraft, it has many adventures to go along with it witch makes the game more fun and entertaining to play.
my reaction to this article was that it was cool. i didn't really find it interesting but it was informing. i don't play disney video games but this one sounds fun. over all I'm sure its a great game to play for younger players.

this article is titled, "Its a Grim's World After all." its about Disney's twist on its movies. Randy Moore, without permission from disney created the new movie Escape From Tomorrow. his film is a horror fantasy that defies the typical disney movie. Escape From Tomorrow undergoes the difficulties confronting disney. this movie is about a family of four setting out to spend a day of fun at Walt Disney World. they ride the tea cups and pose for pictures at the cinderella castle. but the dad starts to lose it after receiving a phone call from his boss. he drools over underaged girls, thinks figures are evil and coming to life and pretends to shoot himself with a fake riffle. as you can imagine, Disney's reaction to this film was not so good.  all though the movie is dark, the cost was less expensive and manageable so its still being released.
my reaction to this article is that i found it very interesting! it sounds like a disturbing movie to see and i like the twist on how its not happy disney land. all though the story could be a little bit better, i think it has a pretty good concept.

this blog article titled, "The Animated GIF: Still looping after all these years" is about a decades old pictures taken by Eadweard Muybridge, created into a GIF. GIFs are short videos of frames looping over and over again. Tumblr is one site that often as a lot of these. i personally have a tumblr and i'm obsessed with it. i do reblog a lot of GIFs. mostly from movies and shows and just relatable topics. GIF was titled as the most used word for 2012. Gifs were invented by a man named Eadweard Muybridge back in 1879. GIFs continue to be used as the years go on. 
while reading this article i found it very interesting and cool to read about. i use GIFs a lot and enjoy using them. when I'm on tumblr, i see them daily and reblog them daily and it makes me page really interesting to visit for my followers and other people. i hope GIFs don't die out anytime soon.
