Sara Franks-Allen — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:14:21 +0000

Merida, the heroine from ‘Brave,’ was officially proclaimed the 11th Disney Princess. But instead of celebrating, people got angry.

Disney Meets 'Gatsby' in 'The Great Catsby' Trailer

Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:38 +0000

Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been [...]

The 10 Worst Moms in Pop Culture

Donald Deane — Thu, 09 May 2013 20:27:09 +0000

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Inspired by the movie 'Monsters University,' DeviantArt user Hyung86 decided to portray classic Disney characters as though they were modern day college students. We think these are pretty great.

Man Animates His Mom's Epic Retelling of 'The Matrix'

Emerald Catron — Thu, 02 May 2013 17:02:43 +0000

To be honest, we haven't watched 'The Matrix' in probably 13 years, so we'd just like to thank this guy's mom for the refresher! Although we're pretty sure the dude's name is Morpheus, not Moshimo. Regardless, we're pretty sure this is a fairly accurate plot synopsis, and the accompanying animation keeps us from nodding off like we usually do when somebody tells us what a movie is about.
