Last week, Anthony visited Disneyland, rode the Lilly Belle, previewed Ant-Man, and finally saw Paint the Night, but who cares? Because all we want to do is talk about selfie sticks.
The sometimes useful, mostly annoying camera accessories will be banned from all Disney theme parks--including DisneyQuest and the water parks at Walt Disney World--effective June 30th.
And while Anthony and Tim ponder how to take pictures of themselves with their short arms, they also focus on these fascinating stories:

After weeks of wild speculation, Marvel and Sony finally announced Tom Holland will be the new Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Jon Watts will direct the next standalone film for the web slinger. We expect that Holland will also appear as Spidey in next year's Captain America: Civil War.
In other movie news, Inside Out couldn't beat Jurassic World at the box office over the weekend, but that didn't stop it from scoring the second biggest opening in Pixar history. Tim gives his review of the Pete Docter-directed film while he and Anthony get in touch with their emotions in this week's episode of Inside The Mouse Castle.
Enjoy!
Inside Out had its Hollywood premiere last week, gearing up for its U.S. wide release this Friday. On this week's episode of Inside The Mouse Castle, we hear from the film's director, Pete Docter, and the some of the voice cast including Amy Poehler, Bill Hader and Lewis Black.
Tim expects Pixar's journey into the mind of an 11-year old girl to be a sure-fire hit while Anthony thinks the film, as good as the early reviews are, is going to under-perform at the box office. It won't do as bad as Tomorrowland, though, not by a long shot. The Brad Bird film starring George Clooney is having a dismal run in theaters and could put Disney in the red $140 million or more.
And, Disney or not, no movie conversation this week is complete with mentioning Jurassic World, so we'll touch on that too, plus these other mind-bending topics:

Tim and Anthony return to "Inside The Mouse Castle," where music will abound during August's D23 Expo in Anaheim. "Disney in Concert: A Silly Symphony Celebration" will screen some of Walt Disney's great musical cartoons of the 1920s and '30s accompanied by a 32-piece orchestra. The massive fan gathering will also welcome Disney on Broadway's "The Originals," celebrating Disney's great theatrical shows and starring Ashley Brown ("Mary Poppins"), James Monroe Iglehart ("Aladdin") and Josh Strickland ("Tarzan").
Also in this week's episode: Disney will produce a live action film based on the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence from "Fantasia" and, at the same time, cancel all plans for "Tron 3"; the Disneyland Resort is testing guest opinion about tiered daily ticket prices; laid off tech workers at Walt Disney World weren't happy about being replaced by immigrants with temporary work visas; Jay Rasulo resigns as CFO of the Walt Disney Company in a move that surprised no one; a new documentary about the life of Walt Disney will air on PBS this fall; "Tangled" will become an animated series on the Disney Channel in 2017; a collection of recently released Disney animated shorts will be available on demand and on Blu-ray in August; and Playmation is a new hi-tech toy coming out this fall that will send kids on numerous adventures in the worlds of Marvel and "Star Wars."
