From our friends at chipandco.com

USC school of cinematic arts

The USC School of Cinematic Arts is offering a special Disney related class for summer 2020. If you’re looking to learn more about Disney and the film industry, then this college course might interest you!

The instructor of the course is J.D. Connor, an Associate Professor in the Division of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California. Being a Disney fan himself, J.D. Conner created a video to provide an overview of his course. You can watch his description of the course below.

The class is titled “Disney After Walt.” It will cover the complete history of the Walt Disney Company following Walt Disney’s passing away in 1966. The course description continues saying:

“The class will cover all aspects of the company from the initial construction of Epcot Center through today and the full global expansion of the parks, broadcast cable & streaming, various divisions such as Miramax, Pixar, Marvel etc. No stone will be left unturned in this class. It will be an amazing and unique opportunity to get an in-depth look at the Studio.”

The summer program is an amazing opportunity to learn more about both the Walt Disney Company and the entertainment industry.

Disney Is Bringing ‘Hercules’, ‘The Princess Bride’, ‘The Jungle Book’ and More to Broadway!

Disney Is Bringing ‘Hercules‘, ‘The Princess Bride‘, The Jungle Book and More to Broadway! In a letter addressed to the staff at Disney Theatrical Productions, DTP President Thomas Schumacher, shared new that Disney has decided ‘Frozen‘ will not return to Broadway after theaters reopen this year, and outlined the future of Disney on Broadway and shared exciting news about productions currently in the works for the theater group.

The letter addressed how it is believed Frozen would not bring in the audiences needed to recoup losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has subsequently been cancelled. Having performed the “weakest” out of the three shows featured on Broadway in 2020, it seems natural the company would chose to close Frozen in favor of a new title that is more in demand by future audiences. “This difficult decision was made for several reasons but primarily because we believe that three Disney productions will be one too many titles to run successfully in Broadway’s new landscape,” shares Schumacher in the letter.

The letter also outlined that the company remains committed to “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” on Broadway, to “The Lion King” and “Mary Poppins” in London’s West End, and to touring productions of “The Lion King” and “Frozen” in North America and “The Lion King” in Britain. Schumacher shared a bit of insight into future shows and shared several new adaptions are currently in the works for the company including: The Jungle Book, The Princess Bride, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Hercules.

Disney Legend and famed composer Alan Menken has been hard at work with adapting Hercules for Broadway, but this is the first we have heard of The Jungle Book, The Princess Bride, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks being adapted for the stage! Disney Theatrical Productions is also working on overseas projects such as a revamping of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and Aida.

Though we are sorry to hear DTP “Let it Go” sooner than expected, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Disney on Broadway, and will still be able to enjoy Frozen during the North America tour later this year. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co for all things Disney!
