Leica and Disney celebrating ‘100 Years of Wonder’ with limited-edition Q2 digital camera

Jared Locke -
NewsDigital CamerasDisneyLeica

The Walt Disney Company is preparing to celebrate its “100 Years of Wonder” as the company turns 100 years old. While there will be plenty of merchandise available online and in its theme parks, there is one item that I don’t think many saw coming. Leica has spent the last 100 years developing “precise optical instruments which have revolutionized the world of imaging many times over” and has ties to the earliest days of when Walt Disney was hand-drawing cartoons. Leica (called Leitz at the time) cameras and projectors were used to capture the storyboards that animations are made from, and now the two companies are working together again. As part of the “100 Years of Wonder,” Leica is creating a special limited-edition run of its Q2 camera with a Disney skin.

Update (5/23 10:15am): Disney recently announced a host of new attractions coming to its Orlando theme parks this summer. Are you planning a trip? Let us know in the comments!

The happiest place on earth is home to iconic theme parks, world class hotels, top-shelf food and, of course, Mickey Mouse.

As a former Florida resident and annual passholder, I’ve been to Disney World more times than I can count and have spent way too much time on Disney fan boards, as such I’ve learned all the ways to trim your ticket, hotel and food costs.

Great stories are the heart and soul of Disney. They are the very essence of every immersive theme park ride, memorable piece of merchandise, and unforgettable song.

Disney Animated is usually priced at $9.99, but it dropped down to a historical low of just $2.99 this morning. Heads up this app is massive. You’ll need 6GB of free space on your iPad to install it via the App Store, but it only uses 2.0GB when installed. If you don’t have that much free space, make your purchase on iTunes for Mac or Windows and then sync the app to your iPad.

Pixar changed the film industry forever when it released Toy Story back in 1995.

It’s a great time to be a gamer as we continue to see old classics re-made into new current gen games (as long as it’s legal!).

Gamers will be able to play as Scrooge McDuck in this re-make of the classic side-scrolling game as he journeys through different parts of the world. Follow along as he travels to far off places such as the Amazon, Transylvania, and the moon. The game features voice-overs from all the original actors, retaining the authentic experience of this 80’s classic. DuckTales: Remastered supports Bluetooth controllers and is available for download today with a $9.99 price tag. There is also a console version available as well for Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360.
