7 Disney Things You Might Have Missed This Week

Earlier this week, Kermit announced that he and Miss Piggy were, in the style of so many Hollywood power couples before them, terminating their “romantic relationship.” This comes just before the premiere of the hotly anticipated (especially by us) new ABC series

, which airs on Tuesday nights this fall. This is tragic personal news for the beloved couple, for sure, but will surely make for some crackerjack entertainment. And on a much less tension-fraught Muppet update, watch the Electric Mayhem Band and Sam the Eagle perform “Jungle Boogie” in the hilarious video below. It’s anarchic and colorful, like all the best Muppet moments, and we can’t help but think that Jim Henson would love the piece.

Beach Robot Draws Walt Disney at Disney’s Contemporary Resort

Walt Disney was, quite famously, incredibly passionate about developing technology to push the boundaries of storytelling and entertainment, and today that spirit is being kept alive and well. A few months ago we told you about Beachbot, an adorable robot that could draw things in the sand. The brainchild of the Disney Research Zurich lab and graduates students from a Swiss engineering school, the Disney Parks blog points out that the “entertainment robot” was recently brought to the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World, where it handily drew a portrait of Walt Disney in the sand. The video above is really cute and kind of mind-blowing.

Tsum Tsums are already in short supply at the Disney Store. But if you still want to experience one of your favorite Disney animated masterpiece in the form of tiny, super cute toys, watch the amazing

We love the amazing limited edition tees that the Disney Store has been releasing recently (it’s kind of sad how many we already have), and this week’s shirt is one of the best: it’s Mickey Mouse from EPCOT Center, with his rainbow-emblazoned space suit, in a gorgeous 8-bit render. (There’s one with Minnie for you ladies out there.) We were recently talking about how much we love this iteration of Mickey, especially since, when EPCOT Center first opened in the eighties, it was almost completely character-free, and Mickey was one of the few identifiable characters. (The park instead chose to focus on newly created characters like Captain Eo and Figment, and on the more educational and technological aspects of EPCOT Center.) The tee is bordered by the logos of the original pavilions (although no Wonders of Life, whose symbol was a simplified Vitruvian man) and an 8-bit EPCOT logo on the back. It’s only available until Thursday, so act fast!

It’s not every day that the star of a feature film stops by its corresponding theme park attraction, but this happened recently when Idina Menzel dropped in at For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Disney Parks blog was there to capture the magic, which you can watch above (only if you let it go).

Want to get even more out of your next trip to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure? Well, the official app just launched today (available in both the App Store and Google Play), and it should make that next visit to the parks even more magical. The app will include maps of attractions, restaurants, and shops and will feature attraction wait times, entertainment showtimes and character appearance schedules. You can even buy tickets on the app and just flash your device at the turnstiles to gain admission (you don’t have to print anything out). Yes, the future really

, the holiday-themed (and dinosaur-heavy) Disney•Pixar television, aired on ABC. And it was an instant classic, the kind of thing we can picture ourselves watching each and every holiday season. How will we watch it each year? Why with the brand new Blu-ray, Digital HD, and Disney Movie Anywhere versions, of course! It’ll be available on November 3, and will be chock full of extras (including a documentary about the world of

, filmmaker commentary, a Comic Con recap, deleted scenes, a karaoke sing-along, and a 2D animated opening for the fictional TV series). This is going to be a must-own release and we
