Disney Channel Original Series, "Austin and Ally", Gets Picked-up!

Hey everyone great news! Disney has picked up their show, "Austin and Ally" for a full season! The show stars a few new faces that I'm sure we'll all love!

Disney Channel has ordered "Austin & Ally," an original, live-action comedy series chronicling the friendship of an unlikely duo whose lives unexpectedly enliven when one becomes an overnight Internet musical sensation. The multi-camera series will begin production in Hollywood this summer for a scheduled late 2011 premiere on Disney Channel.
Starring are newcomer Ross Lynch as Austin, Laura Marano ("Without a Trace," "Back to You") as Ally, Raini Rodriguez (Disney's "Prom," "I'm in the Band") as Trish and Calum Worthy ("Psych," "Good Luck Charlie") as Dez.
The series follows the partnership between polar opposites -- Austin, an extroverted musician/singer, and Ally, a brilliant yet shy songwriter -- and their two best friends, Trish and Dez. Unbeknownst to Ally, Austin and Dez "borrow" one of her songs, record it, create a video and post it on the Internet, after which it and Austin become a local sensation. When Trish convinces Ally to tell the world she wrote the song, Austin pleads with her to write another hit for him. Instead, the two combine their talents to create a true musical tour-de-force."Austin & Ally" was created and is executive-produced by Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert ("Good Burger," "Kenan & Kel," Disney Channel's "Sonny With A Chance" and "JONAS"). The pilot was directed by Shelley Jensen ("Good Luck Charlie," "Shake It Up").

So what do you think? Are you excited for this new series? I know I am!

Disney Friends For Change Games Details

Hey teens Matt here! Looks like Disney is ready to get their game on because they just released all the details about Disney's Friends For Change Games! I'm just going to cut to the press release from Disney!

Disney will donate nearly $1 million dollars globally through Disney's Friends for Change, its multiplatform pro-social initiative, and the new "Disney Friends for Change Games" that helps kids help the planet and their communities. Over 30 Disney Channel and Disney XD stars from around the globe will compete in "Disney Friends for Change Games," a series of fun physical challenges inspired by everyday "green" acts. Four teams will play on behalf of an environmental charity -- Fauna and Flora International, World Wildlife Fund, Ocean Conservancy and UNICEF. For five weeks beginning FRIDAY, JUNE 24, Disney Channel will present "Disney Friends for Change Games" in interstitials during its Friday, Saturday and Sunday primetime original series programming, and Disney XD will present a special episode from the games Monday nights beginning JUNE 27 (9:30 p.m., ET/PT). The Games will culminate with a special half-hour episode SUNDAY, JULY 31 on Disney Channel.

18-year-old actress and Hollywood Records recording artist Bridgit Mendler ("Good Luck Charlie," "Lemonade Mouth") co-wrote and performed the new Disney's Friends for Change anthem, "We Can Change The World," a buoyant pop/rock song to be released globally starting FRIDAY, JUNE 10. All proceeds from the song will go towards environmental charities through Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.

As part of "Disney Friends for Change Games," Disney will make a $125,000 donation to each charity and the winning team's charity will receive an additional $100,000 donation from Disney. Beginning JUNE 10, kids and families worldwide are invited to visit Disney.com/projectgreen, and Friends for Change international sites to pledge actions they will take in to help the planet. To date, over four million pledges have been made by kids worldwide. Young planet crusaders can play online versions of the games that took place during "Disney Friends for Change Games" and donate their earned points to their favorite teams. The team with the most online points will be named the regional "Fan Favorite" team and awarded an additional $100,000 for their team's charity. Kids can also participate by creating a piece of online art for the Disney Friends for Change Games Group Wall at Disney.com/Create.

Tiffany Thornton ("So Random") and Jason Earles ("Kickin' It") host the telecasts. Maria Canals-Barrera ("Wizards of Waverly Place") joins them to provide players support.

“Disney Friends for Change Games” challenges are comprised of the four areas of environmental conservation: saving water, preventing waste, saving energy and protecting our habitats. The games emphasize the power of coming together with your friends and family to make a difference in your community and your world. The games are:

High Energy Dance Battle:

Teams perform a freestyle dance routine on an energy generating dance floor.

Wash Out:

Players will race against time in a multi-stage relay race, taking laundry to the extreme through a series of sorting, washing and hang drying. Some of the clothes in the giant laundry pile were recycled from Disney Channel and Disney XD series.

The Recycler:

Players on stationary bicycles power a high-speed conveyor belt loaded with recycled items.

The Ultimate Course for Change:

Players tackle a challenging multi-part course that incorporates all of the Friends for Change green themes.

"Disney Friends for Change Games" are executive-produced by Art Spigel ("Disney Channel Games") and Hayma 'Screech' Washington ("Amazing Race") for Dario Productions, Inc., and filmed on location in Simi Valley, California. The production was eco-conscious to ensure best efforts were made to lighten impact on the environment.

So are you excited? I know I am! Tune in to Disney Channel Friday, June 24th and Disney XD Monday, June 27th to watch your favorite Disney Channel stars battle it out to benefit special charities! What team while you be rooting for?

Monsters Inc. 2, "Monsters University" Details!

I'm sure a lot of you are excited about this just from one look at the title! Monsters Inc. 2 will be titled, "Monsters University" and the logo is above! This is very exciting! Monsters Inc. was a hit Disney movie and everyone loves it! A sequel is definitely what we need! Well...not exactly a sequel. This movie will be a prequel! Check out the plot below!

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other. “Monsters University” unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

Screaming with laughter and fun, “Monsters University” is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars,” “Mater and the Ghostlight,” “Tracy”) and produced by Kori Rae (“Up,” “The Incredibles,” “Monsters, Inc.”). The film opens in U.S. theaters on June 21, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

“Monsters, Inc.,” originally released on November 2, 2001, was nominated for four Oscars®: Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Score, Best Sound Editing and Best Original Song—“If I Didn’t Have You,” for which it won.

“Monsters University” will hit U.S. theaters nearly 12 years after the “Monsters, Inc.” theatrical debut.
Billy Crystal and John Goodman reprise their roles in the prequel as the wise-cracking Mike Wazowski and lovable Sulley.

“Monsters University” features a host of new faces and a few returning favorites from “Monsters, Inc.”

So what do you think of the plot that Disney released? This seems like it's going to be a very good movie and I can't wait to see how Mike and Sulley's relationship came to be!

-Matt:)
