In the popular imagination, the number one draw of virtual reality was the shock, the wonderment, and the sheer coolness of being able to plug into a make-believe world and experience it as if you were actually in it. From Pong to Galaga all the way up to the most excellent first person shooters, gamers need game space that functions like the holodeck on Star Trek. With the highly anticipated, audacious and award-wining release of Grand Theft Auto 4, or GTA 4, the wholly open virtual world is much closer than ever.

Most fans agree that The Emperor’s New Groove lived up to its tagline: “nuttier than a holiday fruitcake!” It was a highly regarded, if not ultimately successful, animated feature, and the first Disney animated film to ever feature a pregnant woman. Released in December 2000, The Emperor’s New Groove mixes a careful balance of humor designed to appeal both to adults and children. It marked the 39th film in Disney’s canon and was initially slated to be a traditional musical along the lines of The Lion King. Though the title refers to the Danish fairytale, The Emperor’s New Clothes, by Hans Christen Andersen, the original story was based on Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper. The initial incarnation of the project was titled Kingdom of the Sun, with the creative team behind The Lion King, director Roger Allers and producer Randy Fullmer, at the helm. So prestigious was the production that Allers and Fullmer contracted Sting to write the music for the film.

When Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, it featured a great audio-animatronic show called The Country Bear Jamboree. As the name suggests, the show featured bears playing country music. The show was such a hit that capacity was expanded, Disneyland got its own Jamboree, and an additional theatre was built to satisfy the demand.
