Star Wars : Detours, A New Animated Comedy Series



Honor Hunter of Blue Sky Disney did a post about it two days ago, and i couldn't resisted to had a look to this new Star Wars animated
comedy series called "Star Wars Detours". What the hell is it, you ask? Well, according to the official description "Star Wars Detours is an
animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones
here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe's regular folks and their everyday problems... which, to be fair, do frequently
involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith. Welcome to Star Wars: Detours: the other side of the stars,
between the wars".

This animated series is not aired on any TV channel yet so what you'll see below are just previews but i have to say that i like it. I mean,
i like the look, the design of it. If the jokes are good enough to be really funny all along each episode then it might become a cult show.
However, i think that Honor is right when he wrote "It's clearly aimed at a younger audience than "The Clone Wars," but it does seem
to have humor that will fly over kids heads". Good point, and we'll see how successful it will be.

It also may be surprising to have a show like this produced by Georges Lucas considering that it's having fun of his own creatures.
But, first, i think that Lucas is smart enough to enjoy something good even if it's having fun of his creatures, and, two, i suspect that
Georges also realized the merchandise potential if the show become successful ( or even if it doesn't ). Expect anytime soon a new style
of Han Solo, Obi Wan, Princess Leia and all the others characters, this time in cartoonesque mini figurines!

In the meantime, have a look below at a selection of already released clips. Don't watch only the trailer - the first one below - as the clips
are better. As usual, make sure you choose to watch it in high definition, just click on the little wheel on the bottom right to choose the highest available definition.

Universal Studios Singapore : Madagascar, A Crate Adventure Full Ride HD Video



I've got a great video for you today of a big Universal Studios ride which exist ONLY at Universal Studios Singapore! Madagascar, A Crate Adventure was among the E-Ticket rides of Universal Studios Singapore supposed to open on USS opening day, and then some technical problems delayed its opening for more than a year. From what i've been told originally the ride was supposed to have some lifts and falls
but for various reasons it didn't worked well and the system was provoking floods, so they had to totally re-design the whole attraction.

On this new version of the flume ride there is no lifts or falls and it's true that we're missing it. That said the ride is unique to USS and although some don't like it or think it's lame i can't say that i don't like it at all. Apparently the ride storyline follows the story of the
original Madagascar movie and the ride itself use a mix of audio-animatronics and projections effects. It's a curious ride, it's difficult
to say that it's extremely good but it's not bad either. Something is missing to make it a truly magical ride even if you can feel that
the guys of Universal Creative did their best.

Anyway, here is a brand new full ride-front seat and full HD video. The video is in real full HD so make sure you choose to watch it
in 1080p definition! As soon as the video begin click on the little wheel on the bottom right and choose to watch it in 1080p. !
Because the ride is sometime dark you might have some video "noise" if you watch it full screen, but not that much.
So, all aboard, enjoy the ride, and once you're done CLICK HERE to come back to Disney and more home page!
