17 years after Disney’s The Lion King hit theaters in 1994 and nine years after the IMAX re-release in 2002, The Lion King returned to theaters last month on September 16th – and this time it came in 3D.
Originally heralded as a limited 2-week release, more than 2,000 theaters have carried The Lion King in 3D for more than 5 weeks, and the film has earned $87 million at the box office to date, including the $52 million it made from two consecutive weeks at the top of the domestic box office.

Converting a traditionally 2D movie to 3D is an expensive process, but The Lion King‘s 3D run has been a smashing success, far out-grossing the $15.6 million earned by the 2002 IMAX release and bringing the film’s total worldwide lifetime box office gross to more than $900 million. When adjusted for ticket price inflation, The Lion King is currently ranked #18 in the all time domestic box office. Only two other traditionally animated films have grossed more: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and 101 Dalmatians (1961).
Earlier tonight the Disney Channel aired the premiere of Make Your Mark: The Ultimate Dance Off ‘Shake It Up’ Edition. The six semi-finalists (Amir, Arjang, Jade, AKsquared, Christine and June, and Casey and Sam) showed off their best dance moves for celebrity judges Selena Gomez, Sean Kingston, Rosero McCoy, and millions of Disney Channel viewers.
For two hours after the event, fans were able to vote up to 5 times by text and 5 times online for their favorite contestants. I have had trouble getting onto the official Make Your Mark website to cast my vote, which makes me think that Disney’s website wasn’t prepared to handle a huge jump in traffic from excited fans eager to vote online.
Christmas may be the most popular time to visit the Disney parks, but in my opinion, Halloween is the best Disney holiday. From spooky theme park rides to TV specials and tons of character costumes for kids and adults, Disney makes it easy to get in the holiday spirit.
If your family loves to cozy up together and for a post-trick-or-treat Halloween movie fest, there are several Disney films with just enough chills and thrills for the whole family to enjoy. Recommended holiday movies are below!

For five weeks during Summer 2011, dancers who were between 8 and 16 years old were invited to submit online audition videos to Disney Channel’s first ever dance-themed talent competition, Make Your Mark: Ultimate Dance Off Shake It Up Edition. More than 28,000 videos were submitted, and from those videos, six semi-finalist dance acts were chosen.

Now these semi-finalist dancers are finally ready to show their skills when Disney Channel airs the premiere of the Ultimate Dance Off on Friday, October 14th at 8:30pm ET/PT with a results show to follow on Sunday, October 16th at 8:30pm ET/PT. The six dance acts will perform for celebrity judges Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place), recording artist Sean Kingston, choreographer Rosero McCoy (Shake It Up), and Disney Channel viewers.
Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD are celebrating Halloween all month long with brand new episodes of their most popular shows. The Halloween-themed episodes range from the silly to the spoooky and feature pirates, zombies, aliens, werewolves, vampires, and monster high school students.

Special mention goes to the four-part Wizards of Waverly Place saga “Apartment 13B” which follows Alex Russo and Harper Finkle as they move into a new apartment and uncover the mystery of the building’s secret 13th floor, and the Phineas and Ferb Halloween episode “The Curse of Candace” which features the voices of Hollywood celebs Michael J. Fox (Teen Wolf), Anna Paquin (True Blood), and Stephen Moyer (True Blood) as the cast of a popular vampire movie. Typecasting, anyone?
