Just how well does the moat that surrounds Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom protect the castle and (New) Fantasyland from ne’er do wells? Just how to defeat the most magical place on Earth’s defenses and make scores of Disney cast members and characters alike succumb to your almighty being is at the heart of this question recently proposed on Quora.com in the Military Strategy category.

Proposed tactics range from a Dumbo-ized take on the Trojan Horse ploy to an all out assault, shamelessly including “it’s a small world” in its collateral damage. While we commend the operation known as ‘Bibbidi Bobbidi Boom!’ simply for its creative name, we’re not sure on whether facing the wrath of a certain Marvel super hero team is worth the effort (‘If we can’t save Cinderella Castle, we will avenge it.’) The most agreeable method, however, seems to be the most direct route and that’s simply making dining reservations (albeit a lot of dining reservations) for Cinderella’s Royal Table. The plus side: quality princess time, the negative: the plotter thinks Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is still around the corner.

‘Odd Life of Timothy Green’ New Stills, Clips and Soundtrack Details

 L-R Jim Green (Joel Edgerton) and Timothy Green (Cameron 'CJ' Adams)Ph: Phil Bray©Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been nearly a year to the day that we have been able to share images from Walt Disney Studios’ film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green. With just a couple of weeks before the film opens on August 15, however, that’s all about to change as Walt Disney Studios has provided us with eight new stills and one behind-the-scenes photo.

Most of the new images appear to reflect on the relationship between Timothy (Cameron ‘CJ’ Adams as he is now billed) and his new parents, Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton) as well as Timothy’s extra special bond with Joni Jerome (Odeya Rush).

The images have been added to the beginning of our gallery below:

A few clips have also been released, essentially offering glimpses and slightly expanded looks at what we already know the setup of the film to be. In the first clip, titled ‘Dream Kid,’ Jim and Cindy are trying to come to terms with the reality that a child is not in their future, so they decide to write a recipe for their ideal child before planting it in the backyard:

In the next clip, titled ‘You Need to Look Out Back,’ Cindy is taken aback when she learns of the ‘affliction’ of newcomer-slash-houseguest Timothy, but ends up completely beside herself when she visits the backyard at the behest of Jim:

In the third and last clip, titled ‘Backpack,’ Cindy quickly learns to assume the role of first-time, over-protective mother as she and Jim send Timothy to school for the first time. Of course, she has legitimate concerns for her boy that most other mothers probably wouldn’t share:

Finally for this update, Amazon.com recently listed the tracks for the original motion picture soundtrack featuring music composed by Geoff Zanelli. The album (which appears to be available only on CD as a record on-demand option, otherwise as a digital download) features 24, non-cryptically — almost conversational — named tracks which should give the impression that the film presents a very uplifting tone/message. The track listing is as follows:

1. You’re Gonna Find It Hard To Believe
2. Life Goes On
3. That’s Not Normal
4. Our Kid
5. …Now What?
6. Is He For Us?
7. Cherry On Top
8. I Can Only Get Better! (A Glass Half Full Person)
9. Love And Be Loved
10. There’s Something You Need To See
11. Funny, Like Uncle Bub
12. Why Not Make A New Kind Of Pencil?
13. Nice Socks
14. Picasso With A Pencil
15. Run The Other Way
16. This World They Created
17. Think “Tree”
18. The Championship Game
19. I’m With “0″
20. The Winning Goal
21. I Let Her Go
22. We Better Get Inside
23. Never Give Up
24. So Much Is Possible

The soundtrack will be available to own on August 14, the day before the film opens in theaters.

‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Hi-Res Concept Art, Character Development

VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ visual development.  ©2012 Disney. All Rights Reserved.

Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios have provided us with these new hi-res images showing some of the development behind the three new game worlds (Fix It Felix Jr, Sugar Rush and Hero’s Duty) as well as character development, showing how Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) and Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) have evolved during the film-making process.

The newly released images have been added to the beginning of our gallery of concept art for the film below. Click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger version, then click on the resize arrow to see the image at its original resolution.

Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in Wreck-It Ralph. Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer), the ‘good guy’ star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video
games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game ‘Hero’s Duty.’ But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart racing game, ‘Sugar Rush,’ whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?

Wreck-It Ralph crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D® in select theaters.
