Mermaids, C-3PO, and Syfy antics

This will be a fairly short post because there hasn't been too much new tidbits announced yet. So lets take a look at the Disney side of things first today shall we.

Mermaids are everywhere now what with their siren like presence in the new Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and the new Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure soon opening at Disney California Adventure park. The Disney Pirates website has added a new section for the Mermaids. Now Pirates fans can learn all about the mermaids role in the story. On top of that, Disney World guests will be able to get made up to be a mermaid starting on May 20th, details on this are available at the Disney Parks Blog. And the soundtrack to the new movie is available tomorrow, but for some of us who pre-ordered it, it is available today in stores to listen to the soundtrack for free go to pirates4soundtrack.com. On the Ariel side, there is a video of the original Little Mermaid animators getting a sneak peak of the new park attraction.

Also, the Disney Parks Blog has released new teasers for the Blue Sky Cellar in California Adventure. Soon posters for Little Mermaid, Goofy;s Sky School, and Grizzly River Run will be replacing the ones currently on display: Silly Symphony Swings, Mickey's Fun Wheel, and California Screamin'. Here is a sneak peak of what is coming in.

I've just recieved my copy of the Steve Tyrell Disney cd and will have a review up about it soon.



On the other side of the wormhole.....

Joe Mallozzi has been really busy with his blog lately, he not only revealed the base plots for SGU future possibilities and the SG1 movie, but he also has now pointed out some of the many flaws in Craig Engler's letter to Stargate fans posted to Gateworld last week. You can read Joe's thoughts on his blog and at Gateworld.

Gateworld also released their podcast for episode 218 of SGU - Epilogue which is quite a good listen, my props to Darren and David for their great podcasts.

Several Stargate fans have been making really good videos on youtube, so I leave you all with a few of them to end this blog post.

Now this clip is from SGU itself, but I think the funniest moment of the series.

And this clip from SG1's 200th episode
