The Jonas Brothers: Kevin, Joe, and Nick

Author: disneytalks Categories: Walt Disney

These handsome men have family name: JONAS. They are now known all over the world. They can sing (American pop rock songs), for sure! They sing in Meet the Robinsons soundtrack, with the song Kids of the Future, of course with some other songs such as I Wanna Be Like You, DisneyMania version.

They can sing, and they can act! We can see their acts in Disney Channel. Some of them are in Hannah Montana the series, when they guest-starred in episode “Me and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas and Mr. Jonas” in August 17, 2008. Still with Miley Cyrus, they also appeared in High School Musical 2, special appearance in the song We Got Party.

We can also see The Jonas Brothers in Camp Rock, a Disney Channel Original Movie. Wow! In this movie, they sing and act! They meet Demi Lovato in this movie. Demi is a friend of Selena Gomez, who becomes Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place.

The eldest from them is Paul Kevin Jonas II, or we call, Kevin. He was born on November 5 1987. He takes a role part as lead guitar and backing vocal.

The second brother is Joseph Adam Jonas (Joe) who was born on August 15 1989. He is the vocalist, along with playing tambourine and guitar. Actually, when he was little, Joe wasn’t interested in being a singer. Instead, he was dreaming of being a comedian!

Nicholas Jerry Jonas is the youngest of them, whom we call Nick. He was born in September 16, 1992. He also takes part as the singer, and he also plays guitar, piano, and drum. The young age didn’t make him give up to have a career as a soloist. Unfortunately, the cute Nick has diabetic type #1.

Actually, there is one other Jonas, Franklin Nathaniel Jonas, who was born on September 28, 2000). The youngest Jonas (or nicknamed as Bonus Jonas) is said to appear also with his brothers in Disney Channel movie called JONAS!.

It’s All Started from a Mouse

Author: disneytalks Categories: Characters, Walt Disney

Mouse
Most people hate them…

But this mouse
Everybody loves him…

Mickey Mouse

 

Mickey Mouse

 

Every people in the world knows this mouse. They love him, they adore him…

 

 

Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse after he lost Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
He was named Mickey Mouse after Lilian, Walt’s wife, suggested it. Mickey’s first name is Mortimer, who becomes Mickey’s rival in getting Minnie’s attention now.

 

Plane Crazy

Mickey’s first appearance was Plane Crazy (look here, it would be nice to see this lamp in your desk…). It was first released on May 15, 1928. In this story, Mickey makes a plane. After he finishes doing it, he asks Minnie to fly with him. While they are on the air, Mickey always tries to kiss Minnie. It makes Minnie parachute off the plane. Mickey loses control of his plane. The humorous events started and the plane must have land-crushed. Many things happen accidentally (you should watch it by yourselves ^o^ ) In this movie, we also see Clarabelle the Cow for the first time. We also can meet Felix the Cat, although just for a moment.

 

Steamboat Willie Opening

The first movie from Walt Disney Company which uses sound is Steamboat Willie, and it still has Mickey as the star. It was released November 18, 1928. It was the third Mickey Mouse cartoon — after Plane Crazy (May 1928) and The Gallopin’ Gaucho (August 1928) — to be made and the first with sound. The story is about Mickey driving the steamboat, whistling, puts himself as a captain of the boat. But the real captain is Pete, his long-lasting rival. We also can see an unnamed female mouse (who later known as Minnie), accidentally drops her sheet music for the popular folk song “Turkey in the Straw,” which is eaten by a goat. Then Mickey and Minnie uses their tails to play the tunes. By the way, I’ve found one nice figurine of Mickey Mouse “Steamboat Willie”… You should check it out… :) and there is a cute watch too, you can see it here (it’s rare…).

 

Do You Know?

 

The Disneyland Address is 1313 S. Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, CA. Walt Disney wants to deny the superstition that 13 is the bad number. In the fact, Disneyland becomes one of the greatest amusement park in the world. Besides, the double 13 reflects initial of Mickey Mouse’s name (M is the 13th alphabet in the list).

 

Well, as the title, the success of Walt Disney, was all started from a Mouse…
