1	Malin Sat 3/21/2009 6:35a	So with Tales from the LaughingPlace Magazine now getting new competition from the Disney Twenty Three Magazine I have decided to list highlights from both current issues in a way to highlight how much the Disney comunity is in need of a second publication, simply because there is so much of the company to cover that one Magazine is not enough. Take a glance at the highlights for the current issues below. Tales from the LaughingPlace Why? Because We Like You! A personal take on the enduring appeal of Mickey Mouse by Tales creative director Lindsay Cave. Felixcious Clay Wants to be a Rock Star & Other Whatnot Stories: The development of the Muppet Whatnot Workshop in New York City’s iconic FAO Schwarz toy store.

Re-Made in Japan: The story of Tokyo Disneyland as told by the small team of imagineers charged with defending Disney quality at the first licensed Disney theme park with over twenty-five rare or never-before-seen images from the Walt Disney Imagineering archives. The piece is accompanied by an interview with current lead imagineer for the Tokyo Disney Resort Joe Lanzisero who discusses the unique challenges to developing attractions for Japan. The First Star I See Tonight: A photo-essay from the Grand Opening of The American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios featuring host Ryan Seacrest, past American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks and David Cook plus a host of former finalists.

SHOOTING STARS World-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz adds star power and a moody, surreal spin to Disney's most iconic animation moments. THROUGH TIM BURTON'S LOOKING GLASS The Nightmare Before Christmas director grants Disney twenty-three an exclusive first look at his marvelously imaginative interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. THE SUITE STORY Disney twenty-three takes you on a special tour of the most exclusive accommodations at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Imagine spending a dreamy night in Cinderella Castle or enjoying an early morning cup of coffee on the veranda of Walt's private New Orleans Square apartment! ON TOP OF THE WORLD Spend an enchanted evening at the celebrated California Grill on the 15th floor of Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort, where Chef de Cuisine Jens Dahlmann serves sophisticated American fare that's as unforgettable as the signature restaurant's spectacular view. FINDING PIXAR We've got your backstage pass to Pixar Animation Studios, the creative powerhouse that stands at the pinnacle of computer animation — and the birthplace of Woody, Nemo, and WALL·E! UP, UP, AND AWAY Get an advance look at Pixar's Up, a Pete Docter-directed adventure about a 78-year-old balloon salesman who fulfills his lifelong dream by floating away to the wilds of South America.

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST Disney artist Paul Felix continues a time-honored Disney tradition with his charming depiction of everyone's favorite mouse. As you can see two very differnt Magazines covering the Disney company with neither on each others toes and if both can keep this up I look very much forward to reading both in the future.
