A year ago, no one would have expected to see a Veronica Mars panel at San Diego Comic-Con. However, thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, the show is back in movie form and is in the middle of production. The cast along with producer/director Rob Thomas were on hand to discuss what was going on with the film as well as showing off footage that was hot off the presses. The cast members who appeared on the panel today included Kristen Bell, Francis Capra, Enrico Colantoni, Percy Diggs III, Jason Dohring, Ryan Hansen, Chris Lowell, Tina Majorino, and Krysten Ritter.

Check out our photo gallery from today’s panel here below! And watch the video footage from the film here.

The panel was moderated by Jeff Jensen, and started off with a clip that showed plenty of footage from the TV show and a bit of background on the Kickstarter campaign. After that, we got the first look at the movie. The film catches up with everyone 10 years after their high school graduation. Veronica is working as a lawyer in New York, and is being interviewed by Jamie Lee Curtis. She hasn’t worked as a PI since the last time we saw her. She then goes back for her high school reunion and gets back with the old gang. All of the dialogue and the characters felt just like they did in the series.

Disney has released their first teaser trailer for Frozen, their upcoming computer animated movie.

The movie features Kristen Bell as Anna and Jonathan Groff as Kristoff, who join up and set out to find Anna’s sister, Elsa (Idina Menzel), who has completely frozen the kingdom in ice. Other voices include Josh Gad (The Book of Mormom, 1600 Penn) as Olaf (seen above), Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil) as the Duke of Weselton, and Santino Fonatana as Hans.

This week, Dropbox acquires superstar app Mailbox, Google shuts down Reader (and the internet goes berserk), Netflix goes social, Samsung launches the S4 and Apple goes on the defensive, and Veronica Mars is back…thanks to Kickstarter.

A movie version of the hit TV show Veronica Mars has been in the works for a long, long time now, with no luck finding a way to make it a reality.

And so creator Rob Thomas turned to the same place so many others have turned: Kickstarter.

Crowdfunding has become the answer for many to make the games and movies and other things they’ve not been able to make otherwise, and Veronica Mars is without question the biggest title to give the website a try. Thomas also set the biggest goal that’s ever been set for a movie Kickstarter campaign—a whopping $2 million—which really put to the test just how useful crowdfunding could be…and passed in stunning fashion.

Wreck-It Ralph smashed box office records for a Disney animated film in its opening weekend, and won over critics and audiences no less. With its creativity, heart and passionate storytelling, Wreck-It Ralph signals Walt Disney Animation Studios is back in the game, so to speak. This edition of Disney In Depth will explore what has led up to this new hit for the studio, as well as what awaits.

Many individuals say the Disney Renaissance began with 1989’s The Little Mermaid, with following entries Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King reaching even greater heights – everyone seems to leave out the forgotten The Rescuers Down Under. Regardless, this represented a period of unparalleled imagination and inspiration within the studio, continuing for several years to follow. Then came the slump. Audiences were no longer interested in musicals, so it seemed, and Disney animation switched gears into the sci-fi realm with productions like Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet. Computer animation emerged, and with that advent Disney entered the new arena with misses like Chicken Little and the awkward-yet-smart Meet the Robinsons. None of these performed all that wonderfully. It had appeared as though Disney lost its touch. But the studio had some exciting developments up their sleeve.
