Well, that was a while!
It’s good to be back here at Then to Now! I hope you’ll bear with me as I play catch up for a bit. To that end, my regular columns that aren’t reviews of the cannon films are suspended for the time being. (Although one or two might slip through where appropriate.) What can you expect this week?
Well, how about an entire week of films?
Excited?
Here’s the schedule:
This schedule will bring us a little closer to being on track to finish by the end of the year. I hope you’ll stick around, because we haven’t even been deep into the Disney Cannon!

I’m trying out something new this week. I had the opportunity to visit a fan-exclusive event at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. This was a special event held by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. It started out with these colorful flags outside the theatre.
All pictures were taken by me on my cell phone, and thanks to my friend Jacob for coming with me!
Can you name the characters?
