New Recital of Remixes

On September 1st, 2021, The Walt Disney Company launched its large-scale platform for amplifying underrepresented voices and untold stories, ReimagineTomorrow.Disney.com. The site features news and highlights, workforce diversity data, and inclusive storytelling across the company.
 
From spotlighting unique personal stories to introducing creative musical explorations of classic Disney songs, the Reimagine Tomorrow site invites everyone to see themselves and their perspectives represented in meaningful ways.
 
To mark the one-year anniversary of the site, we’re adding more original content to celebrate the diversity of Disney. Something we’re especially excited about it is the introduction of five musical artists as part of our Recital of Remixes page. This original music series presents up-and-coming, independent artists reimagining beloved Disney songs. Fans can look forward to discovering these new artists from various backgrounds and genres as they put their own unique spin on the classic “Go the Distance” from Disney’s “Hercules,”(1997) now available to stream on Disney+. The new artists, to be announced during D23 Expo, will take part in special live performances at this year’s D23 Expo. Stay tuned for their reimagined songs to be released via Walt Disney Records everywhere songs are streamed on September 9.
 
Nearly 100 years ago, Walt Disney set his company on a path that would revolutionize the entertainment industry, and the ReimagineTomorrow.Disney.com website is just one of the many ways we are sharing stories that reflect our ever-changing world.

When <a href="https://disneyland.disney.go.com/?CMP=ILC-DPFY21Q4wo0722210728210003F" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Disneyland Resort</a> becomes blanketed in snowflakes and garland for the holidays, it’s important to remember that teams of skilled cast members work overnight to make this magic happen. However, this year’s holiday team is particularly special as five female technicians take the male-dominated rigging world by storm.
 
In order to install seasonal overlays at “it’s a small world” Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday, technicians utilize Rope Access, mountaineering rope techniques that allow access to buildings and structures that are not accessible with conventional methods.
 
For the first time since the program was created 17 years ago, a group of five female technicians have become the first all-women Rope Access training cohort at Disneyland Resort.
 
These determined women learned the ins and outs of Rope Access protocols with multi-day instruction, hours of practical training and two exams. And who were their instructors? None other than two master female Rope Access trainers. The icing on the cake? A female Rope Access technician shadowed the evaluator on the exam day in hopes of becoming a certified Rope Access evaluator herself one day.
 
While rigging technicians who join the Disneyland Resort team work on a variety of projects, cast members voluntarily undergo the rigorous Rope Access training. The certification process allows them to develop the skills to safely hang from over 50 feet in the air, which is an important part of hanging holiday decor in detailed attractions.
 
The all-women Rope Access cohort “highlights and proves that there are so many … possibilities and opportunities for anybody,” shared Kimberly Oliveras, Entertainment Technical Services Operations manager. “This is a rigorous program that cast members have to want to be a part of, and these women are not shying away from it. It’s hard work. It’s physical.”
 
Training alongside other females also made it easier for participants to learn from one another. In fact, women have a leg up when it comes to maintaining balance on high ropes.
 
“Men are traditionally shaped with a higher center of gravity so when they sit in a harness, it’s more likely that they will lean really far back,” explained Rope Access instructor Megan Love. “We, as women, tend to have a lower center of gravity, which just tends to keep our bodies moving differently in harnesses and on rope.”
 
As Disneyland Resort continues to empower and uplift females in male-dominated spaces, this all-women Rope Access cohort will go down as a pivotal moment in resort history.
 
“We’re giving women an opportunity in a space where sometimes they’re not thought of,” explained Stage Technician and Rope Access instructor Chez Marlowe. “If this is what you want to do, don’t let anybody tell you ‘No.’”

Cast Members Go Down (and Up!) in Rope Access History

“Puppy for Hanukkah” is a fresh, humorous Hanukkah song for the whole family to enjoy. It helps show the spectrum of the Jewish American experience while also creating a cultural learning opportunity for all kids, no matter their background or faith. Performed by Tony and GRAMMY Award winner Daveed Diggs (Broadway's "Hamilton," ABC's "black-ish), the track features his distinctive vocal style, trademark flow, dense verses and memorable hook. The holiday hip-hop song was written and produced by Diggs with his longtime friends and creative partners William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes (also of the experimental hip-hop trio clipping). In creating “Puppy for Hanukkah,” Diggs was able to combine his love for music with his cultural and religious upbringing.

"Puppy for Hanukkah"

Last month, artist and inker <a href="https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/5823/danilo_bulanadi">Danny Bulanadi</a> passed away from chronic heart failure. He was 76 years old.
 
Born on February 8, 1946 in Manila, Philippines, Bulanadi grew up as a fan of American comic books. After studying art at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, Bulanadi credited legendary comic artist Tony DeZuniga for taking him under his wing and hiring him to be his assistant. This allowed Bulandi an opportunity to learn about the medium from one of the masters of the era. Another comic book icon, Joe Orlando, facilitated Bulanadi’s entrance into the industry in 1975 at DC Comics. That’s where Bulandadi spent most of the rest of the decade.
 
In 1979, Bulanadi teamed with writer Geoff Stirling and his son Scott Stirling on the Captain Newfoundland comic strip in The Sunday Herald (now known as The Newfoundland Herald). One of their most significant creations from that run is the super hero known as Captain Canada.
 
By 1980, Bulanadi broke into Marvel as the inker of MICRONAUTS (1970) alongside artists Pat Broderick, Gil Kane, and Jackson "Butch" Guice, then returned to the characters as an inker in MICRONAUTS: THE NEW VOYAGES (1984). He also became the regular inker of DAREDEVIL (1964) from issues #198-213, which includes the first Marvel work of artist David Mazzucchelli.
 
A few years later, Bulanadi found further success on Marvel’s licensed books when he inked the great Steve Ditko on THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES, in addition to G.I. JOE: SPECIAL MISSIONS and TRANSFORMERS (1984). In fact, Bulanadi has the rare distinction of having worked on both TRANSFORMERS (1984) and the original Transformers animated series, for which he drew storyboards in Season 3.
 
In 1987, Bulanadi teamed with writer Mark Gruenwald and artist Paul Ryan on D.P.7., one of Marvel’s original New Universe titles. This creative team also stayed together in 1989 for the first-ever QUASAR (1989) ongoing series, while Bulanadi concurrently worked with Gruenwald and an assortment of artists on CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968). Bulanadi and Gruenwald stayed with the series through issue #443.
 
Bulanadi and Ryan reunited on AVENGERS WEST COAST before taking on their greatest collaboration: a multi-year run on FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) with writer Tom DeFalco. From FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #356-411, Bulanadi missed only a single issue before their run gave way to the HEROES REBORN relaunch of 1996.
 
In his later years as a creator, Bulanadi illustrated a comic book adaptation of the Bible for Kingstone Comics and No Greater Joy Ministries. He was also a recurring guest on the comic book convention scene, where he accepted commissions from fans.
 
Outside of comics, Bulanadi had a passion for performing Filipino love songs under the stage name Danny Harana. Several of his songs remain on YouTube as another piece of his legacy.
 
Marvel extends its condolences to Bulanadi’s family, friends, colleagues, and fans all over the world.

Remembering Danny Bulanadi, 1946-2022

The origins of stepping are culturally rich and very much relevant today, transcending its development within the historically black colleges and universities to becoming an integral part of African-American experience at any age or gender. In “Step is Life,” audiences will be given a primer on this vivid, physical and impactful form of creative expression.

During the upcoming college basketball season, SEC Network will premiere “Southern Hoops: A History of SEC Basketball,” a seven-part SEC Storied documentary chronicling the origin and progression of the sport for both men and women in the conference as the sport approaches the 75th anniversary of the first NCAA Championship won by an SEC institution. A new episode will debut every Monday night at 9 p.m. ET from January 30 through March 13.
 
The series, directed by “Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football” filmmaker Fritz Mitchell, will span the history of SEC basketball, from Vanderbilt participating in the first men’s college game (1893) and Adolph Rupp leading Kentucky to the SEC’s first national title (1948), to basketball through the lens of the civil rights movement, and the emergence of powerhouse women’s programs such as the Tennessee Lady Vols, led by legendary head coach Pat Summitt, and the reigning SEC and NCAA champion South Carolina Gamecocks under Dawn Staley.
 
“After my experience directing ‘Saturdays in the South,’ I wondered if the passion for basketball could match that for football in the SEC,” said Mitchell. “Traveling to historically rich SEC college towns is always an enlightening journey. Sonny Smith told me about his early bootlegging days and I chuckled as Wimp Sanderson recounted hiding in the bushes to ambush a recruit. I visited Pat Summitt’s grave with her family, emotions still raw even several years after her death. I found myself mesmerized listening to Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf articulate the words of Malcolm X and sat enthralled as Andy Landers talked about the grassroots efforts of women’s basketball. I quickly found that yes, there is passion for SEC basketball, and a surprise around every corner.”
 
An Emmy and Peabody award-winning filmmaker, Mitchell started his television career as a researcher for CBS Sports in 1982, and has directed and produced documentaries for ESPN and PBS since 1998, including two films for the celebrated 30 for 30 series – “The Legend of Jimmy the Greek” and “Ghosts of Ole Miss.” In 2019, he directed the acclaimed 8-part/12.5-hour documentary “Saturdays in the South: A History of SEC Football” for ESPN’s College Football 150 project and the SEC Storied franchise. More recently, he directed the Sports Emmy-nominated “The Trials of Bobby Hoppe.”
 
PART ONE: Naismith to Rupp, 1930-1959 (Debuts January 30) Adolph Rupp came to the University of Kentucky in 1930 – a 29-year-old who took classes at the University of Kansas from James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. Two years later, the SEC was formed, and Rupp’s Wildcats would dominate play in the conference for decades. Meanwhile, a future coaching legend was born in Clarksville, Tenn. It was years before Pat Summitt became a household name but the early years of her journey foretold extraordinary promise.
 
PART TWO: Pioneers, 1960-1970 (Debuts February 6) As the South was transformed by the civil rights movement in the 1960s, so too was the SEC. Texas Western’s historic win with an all-Black starting five over Coach Rupp’s all-white Kentucky Wildcats in the 1966 NCAA final marked a turning point for basketball in the SEC. Vanderbilt’s Perry Wallace then became the conference’s first Black player, leading the way for pioneers who would travel a hard road to history. Down in Baton Rouge at LSU, Pete Maravich fashioned one of the most extraordinary college basketball careers of all time. In 1970, another transformative SEC basketball figure in Dawn Staley was born in Philadelphia.
 
PART THREE: Changing of the Guard, 1971-1979 (Debuts February 13) The 1970s delivered a new generation of groundbreaking fixtures to the SEC. Dale Brown, a North Dakota native, brought an infectious personality and ferocious competitiveness to LSU men’s basketball. In 1974, the incomparable Pat Summitt began her legendary coaching career at Tennessee at the age of just 22. Meanwhile, the year after the death of Coach Rupp in 1977, his successor Joe B. Hall and a pair of local Lexington stars led the Kentucky Wildcats team to a memorable national title, the program’s first in 20 years.
 
PART FOUR: The Entertainers, 1980-1989 (Debuts February 20) There may not have been two more entertaining and electrifying players in the SEC than Georgia’s Dominique Wilkins and Auburn’s Charles Barkley. The duo headlined the conference’s successes in the early 1980s, while LSU’s Coach Brown took two teams to the Men’s Final Four. Coach Summitt won her first national titles with the Lady Vols in 1987 and 1989. Tennessee was pushed by an emerging power in Georgia under head coach Andy Landers, as well as a strong Auburn program led by coach Joe Ciampi that made it to three straight NCAA title games. The Lady Vols defeated the Tigers for the 1989 championship.
 
PART FIVE: From Country to City, 1990-1999 (Debuts February 27) In 1991 and 1992, a young Dawn Staley was finishing up a stellar college basketball career – earning Naismith College Player of the Year honors in her junior and senior seasons – even meeting Coach Summitt’s Lady Vols in the 1991 NCAA title game. Meanwhile Arkansas joined the SEC and the Razorbacks instantly became one of the conference’s top men’s teams, led by their fearless, fiery coach Nolan Richardson and his “40 Minutes of Hell” attack. Arkansas won an NCAA championship in 1994, while Kentucky returned to prominence under Rick Pitino, who led the Wildcats to a national title in 1996 in a Men’s Final Four that included a surprising Mississippi State team. Back in Knoxville, Coach Summitt enjoyed her greatest decade at Tennessee, winning three consecutive national championships from 1996 to 1998.
 
PART SIX: A Brave New World, 2000-2011 (Debuts March 6) Kentucky entered a new century led by their first Black head coach, Tubby Smith, who had taken the Wildcats to the national championship in his first season in 1998. Later in the decade, Florida’s back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007 under coach Billy Donovan marked the rise of a new power in the SEC. Coach Summitt and superstar Candace Parker led the Lady Vols to their own set of consecutive national championships in 2007 and 2008. And down in Baton Rouge, two memorable figures cemented their legacies. Three of LSU’s five straight Women’s Final Four appearances were fueled by two-time Naismith College Player of the Year Seimone Augustus, with the last one coming under the helm of former Ole Miss coach Van Chancellor. On the men’s side, tenacious guard Garrett Temple, the son of the first Black basketball player for the Tigers, helped take LSU to the Men’s Final Four in 2006.
 
PART SEVEN: From Old South to New South, 2012-2022 (Debuts March 13) The past decade has seen the expanded SEC continue to thrive at the center of the story of college basketball in America. John Calipari has continued the tradition of excellence at Kentucky, leading the Wildcats to four Men’s Final Four appearances including a national championship in 2012. That same year, Missouri and Texas A&amp;M joined the conference, a season after head coach Gary Blair led the Aggies to the Women’s Final Four and a national title. In 2016, the basketball world said goodbye to one of its greatest legends with the loss of Pat Summitt after a five-year battle with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. In 2017, Vic Schaefer led Mississippi State to the first of two consecutive national title games after knocking off top-ranked and undefeated UConn in the semifinals, before falling to Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks led by A’ja Wilson. It was the first NCAA championship for Coach Staley, with the second title, featuring Naismith College Player of the Year Aliyah Boston, coming five years later in 2022.
