The heart-warming storyline is inspired by the themes of traditions, family togetherness and nostalgia, and introduces two new characters – a grandmother, Lola, and her granddaughter - alongside familiar friend Mickey Mouse who features as a much-loved toy, gifted to Lola as a young child by her father in 1940. With each passing year, Mickey comes to symbolize Lola’s childhood and a present-day connection to her granddaughter, ultimately inspiring a festive surprise on Christmas morning.

We certainly hope families will be inspired through this universal message to create their own special holiday traditions.” 

UK artist Griff, who performs ‘Love Is A Compass’ said: “I was excited to get involved in Disney’s Christmas campaign. The lyrics of the track and the storytelling in the advert are powerful and important. The theme of family and loved ones are so fronts of mind for many of us – especially this Christmas.” 

The advert was developed and produced by Disney EMEA’s in-house creative team, led by Angela Affinita, Director of Brand Marketing and Creative, in partnership with Flux Animation Studios.

#TheLionKing Roars Past R106m at South African Box Office @DisneyLionKing #DisneyAfrica

Hi Friends, 

This past weekend (30 Aug-1 Sep 2019), after 7 weeks at the top of the South African Box Office and over 1.2 million attendances, Disney’s The Lion King passed R106 million, becoming the third film in history to do so.

With over R106m in local box office takings, the all-new film joins the R100m club that already features last year’s Black Panther and this year’s Avengers: Endgame, both from Marvel Studios. Together with 2018’s Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, Walt Disney Studios releases now account for the top 4 films of all time at the South African Box Office.

Directed by Jon Favreau, and Utilizing pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring treasured characters to life in a whole new way, Disney’s The Lion King boasts an all-star cast that includes Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, Billy Eichner as Timon and South Africa’s own Dr. John Kani as Rafiki. Local music legend Lebo M features on the breath-taking soundtrack as does Pharrell Williams, Elton John, Tim Rice, and the cast.

“We are thrilled at the overwhelming response that South African audiences have shown The Lion King, a story grounded on the continent that celebrates so much of the creativity and beauty of what Africa has to offer,” says Christine Service, Senior Vice President of The Walt Disney Company Africa. “We are equally delighted that the stories from our studios, whether they be Disney, Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios or 20th Century Fox, continue to resonate with local audiences to this extent – we look forward to sharing more upcoming releases in 2019, including Maleficent: Mistress of Evil in October as well as Frozen 2 and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker this festive season.” 

This past weekend also saw the culmination of The Lion King Screening Programme whereby The Walt Disney Company Africa, in collaboration with Hyundai Santa Fe, FNB and Attacq Foundation saw up to 10 000 high school learners from under-served communities across the country experiencing the ground-breaking new film at Ster-Kinekor Theatres. Disney’s The Lion King is currently in cinemas.

About the Film:

Disney’s The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savannah where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy, and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.

A #Gift for the Whole #Family This Festive Season @Gammatek #FunkoPop

Hi Friends,

The festive season is upon us and some of us have already started to scramble for ideas on what to get for everyone in the family this festive season. Getting a pair of socks of different colors got very old very quickly after the first year that you tried it so the time has come to really do something that would “Wow” the whole family. This is easier said than done as every person has their own tastes and interests and no one gift would be a good match for everyone.

A good starting point to search for the perfect gift is to figure out what every member of the family is a fan of. There is Dad that is a die-hard football supporter, Mom that loves binge watching her Game of Thrones series, little Brother that cannot get enough of Marvel superheroes, Sister that is in love with Aquaman and Granny that constantly talks to her grandkids about how much she loves Snow White and other Disney princesses. Well, it seems that you have just stumbled upon your list to get everyone the perfect gift!

But where are you going to find something that is related to all of these subjects without having to travel to the far corners of the planet to find it? There is one company with the slogan “everyone is a fan of something” that might just have exactly what you are looking for and in one place. Funko Pop! collectibles literally have a character for any taste and you are bound to find a character that will be perfect for every member of the family. For your Football-fanatic Dad, you can get an EPL player. For mom, a Jon Snow or Daenerys Targaryen would be perfect. How about getting The Avengers collection for your little brother and then an Aquaman for sister that she can talk to when no one is around. Granny would love a Snow White figurine to accompany her stories that she tells the grandkids and it would take her back down memory lane as well.

“I and my girlfriend watched Pixar’s “Up” movie the other day and fell in love with the Grandpa, Mr. Fredrickson. We then saw the Funko figurine in a shop window and we just had to have it. Now we will have to hunt for the Russell character as well to complete this cute collection.” – says Christiaan Louw, an Avid Funko collector.

There are also collections that you will be able to gift to the whole family where each member of the family can get a character to complete the collection. Examples of these collections would be the Parr Family from the Incredibles or the Justice League from the DC universe. So let’s just see how that would make the perfect gift for the whole family: Dad will get Batman, Mom will get wonder woman, Brother would get the Cyborg and Granny can get the flash to be her little helper.

Funko collectibles also have the potential to start a collecting hobby so it is really a gift that will keep on giving and the best part is, you would be able to buy Funko Pop! collectibles next season again to fuel their ever-growing collection. Funko figurines will also be much better received than those socks that you were planning to get everyone again.

Funko products are available in SA from BT Games, Cardies, Hamleys, Incredible Connection, Musica, Toy Kingdom, Toys R Us, and Vodacom stores. It is also available online on Loot.co.za, Takealot.com; Technomobi.co.za and Shopandship.co.za.

Avengers: Infinity War Breaks Records #SouthAfrica @Disney @Marvel #AvengersInfinityWar

Hi Friends,

Marvel Studios film becomes the biggest opening day and weekend of all time in South Africa. Audiences across Africa assembled in cinemas this past weekend (April 27-29) to witness the unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making, delivering Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War not only to the top of the box office but also into the record books.

The nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe took in nearly R24.6 million at the South African Box Office, with over 287k attendances for its opening weekend, including Thursday night previews. This debut ranks as the biggest industry opening weekend ever in South African Box Office history. Friday 27 April also saw Avengers: Infinity War takes in over R8.4 million, the biggest industry opening day ever at the local box office. I was part of the Thursday 8:30pm show at Cinema 1 @SterKinekor, Mall of Africa and totally loved the movie. The people present didn't want the same to end as they wanted to see all the next part too. No one even moved their seats as they all waited to see the scenes after the End Credits rolled out. It's a long wait now for the closing part of the movie scheduled to release next year in 2019 May.

Elsewhere on the continent, Avengers: Infinity War has become the biggest opening weekend of all time in West Africa with over N137.4 million. The film achieved the biggest April and second highest opening weekend (after Marvel Studios’ Black Panther) in East Africa with over kes 23.4 million.

Also in cinemas, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther continued its historic run at the South African Box Office with the film passing an unprecedented R105 million with nearly 1.4m attendances.

Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther are now in cinemas. Go and check out both the movies at a cinema near you. 

About the Film:
An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe. Anthony and Joe Russo direct the film, which is produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Trinh Tran, Jon Favreau, James Gunn and Stan Lee are the executive producers. Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay.

 

Review: The movie is awesome if you fans of Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy as they collaborate a lot in this movie. Secondly, if you are fans of Dr. Strange and Iron Man and Hulk and his associate SpiderMan or Peter Parker as they fight it out together and are the main strategists of the game to be revealed in the next part of the movie. And if you are Black Panther fan with Captain America and Black Widow, you will be in amazement. Black Panther scenes really bring the theatre on the stand as people start hooting and applauding. I think BP is going to be one movie which will continue to top the charts all across Africa. Overall, it's a great movie in terms of graphics and storyline and I wanted it to never end and second part shall be released just next week. 

Cheers!!!

#Marvel Studios #BlackPanther is The Highest Grossing Film in East, West and now, South Africa #DisneyAfrica

Hi Friends,

In its fifth weekend of release (16-18 March 2018), Marvel Studios’ Black Panther became the all-time top-grossing film in South Africa, with a haul of over R77.6 million since it’s 16 February 2018 release. This record means that South Africa joins East and West Africa in claiming Black Panther as the highest grossing film of all time in these regions.

In South Africa, Black Panther adds the record of all-time highest-grossing film to its previous records of the highest Saturday and February opening weekend and, of course, the biggest superhero film of all time. In East Africa, the film has raked in over Kes 102.4m and in West Africa N642.5m, to become the highest grossing film of all time in both territories.

“We are thrilled at the response Black Panther has received from fans across the continent as this next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe plays out with a distinctly proud African story,” says Christine Service, Senior Vice President of The Walt Disney Company Africa. “To everyone who celebrated the release by watching, dressing up, singing in the cinemas and enjoying the film across social media, a very big thank you from all of us at Disney and Marvel Studios.”

Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life. Black Panther stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, with Angela Bassett, with Forest Whitaker, and Andy Serkis. The film is directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Nate Moore, Jeffrey Chernov and Stan Lee serving as executive producers. Ryan Coogler & Joe Robert Cole wrote the screenplay. Marvel Studios’ Black Panther is now in cinemas now.

 

I still have to add my cents to those Rands as I am not able to watch this movie till date and that's really disheartening for me whereas last year I watched many others Superhero movies in the very first weeks other than Wonder Woman which was kind of sold out in all cinemas and was not invited as part of launch events. By the time I will watch the movie, North Africa will also have added some monetary value to The House of Wakanda.

 

Cheers!!!

Ant-Man : Sometimes, big heroes start small @SterKinekor #SouthAfrica

Hi Guys,

The release of Marvel’s latest comic book super-hero, Ant-Man, brings one of the founding members of The Avengers to the big screen for the very first time. The film, just released in the USA, shot to the number one spot at the box office, and grossed US $57.23 million in its opening weekend! Now it’s the turn of super-hero fans across South Africa. Being treated to one of this year’s most anticipated Marvel films - before its official release locally – and being able to watch it in 3D on the big screen, in the luxurious comfort of Cine Prestige or in the immersive IMAX® theatre, is a guaranteed five-star night out for any movie fan. Ster-Kinekor is giving you the opportunity to experience Marvel’s Ant-Man first - for one night – on Thursday, 30 July at 8pm.

The film releases nationally in 3D and 2D at Ster-Kinekor cinemas countrywide – including Cine Prestige and IMAX theatres – on Friday, 31 July, and bookings are now open.

From Marvel Studios and director Peyton Reed comes Ant-Man. Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang (aka Ant-Man) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr Hank Pym, to protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Having been forced out of his own company by former protégé Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), Dr Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits the talents of Lang (Paul Rudd), a conman just released from prison.

Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants. The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, aka Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil. Marvel’s Ant-Man also stars Evangeline Lilly as Hope van Dyne, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip ‘Ti’ Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale and Jordi Mollà as Castillo.

Peyton Reed directs Marvel’s Ant-Man with Kevin Feige producing and Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo, Edgar Wright and Stan Lee serving as executive producers.

The running time of the film is 1hr 55 mins, and the classification is still to be confirmed.

‘Ant-Man, while based on a minor deity in Marvel’s pantheon, is not only one of the more entertainingly human fantasies to come out of the studio, but it also defies the bedrock fan-boy aesthetic that you don’t want to merely watch the superhero; you want to be the super hero…’ – Time

Movie Review - Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) #AvengersJozi #DisneyAfrica

Hi Guys,

The Avengers are back in the circle once again to save the world they love the most. The movie has really great action and story building throughout the 141 minutes. You will never feel bored and will always be glued to your seats till the end of the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it as some of the secrets were reveled and new ones were created in this part. I really loved the action sequence the movie opens up with and slowly it led to the introduction of something called Ultron made by our very own Iron Man and Hulk along with J.A.R.V.I.S. This is another MARVEL in the great gems from the house of Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures.

I think the movie is going to break records created by Fast and Furious 7 in South Africa as #AvengersJozi has a great fight sequence between Iron Man and Hulk shot right in the center of Central Business District, Johannesburg. Even my office at 45 Commissioner Street was clearly visible along with the Johannesburg City Library/ Johannesburg City Hall Complex and nearby areas along with the signboard clearly visible for Harrison Street. Jo'burg people will really love watching their beloved city from the skies and a lot of action happening on the ground. This is one of those moments we all cherish to remember the spots we have seen in person to appear on big screen with our favorite MARVEL comics characters. The characters also travels to Seoul, South Korea and shows quite a bit of the city during the course of the movie.

Avengers: Age of Ultron to me appears to be a combination of The Avengers meeting Transformers and X-Men coming together to save the world from human extinction. The characters are shown fighting with machines as it happens in Transformers and people have unique powers that so much happens in X-Men. The new characters that were introduced and how they became Avengers eventually is what you need to know from watching the same in the theater near you. The movie has some romantic moments and emotions thrown in too as well as some of the fun part where everyone tried to pick Thor's Hammer Mjolnir.

The movie is written and directed by Joss Whedon. The action sequences are really nice and new Avengers characters have been introduced in the movie. The movie features a long list of actors which includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, Anthony Mackie, Hayley Atwell, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, James Spader, and Samuel L. Jackson.

The movie is releasing on 24 April 2015 in Ster Kinekor and you can watch the premier shows as well as preview shows also on 23 April 2015. The movie is best to be watched in 3D to enjoy the most and it's a value for money and time. I totally fell in love with this part and will watch it again with my family and friends. The movie is totally entertaining and go watch it on big screen for it's sheer viewing pleasure and to watch the powers of all The Avengers in action.

The movie builds the logic for the start of the next part of the series to be released in the years to come called Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 & 2. Movie is releasing in Ster Kinekor on 24th Apr 2015. Book your tickets now. More info on twitter and facebook.
