This morning.
Enniskerry, county Wicklow.
The village is being transformed into the set for Disney’s Disenchanted, a follow-up to fairytale blockbuster Enchanted (2007).
Filming is to begin next month where actors Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey, Amy Adams and James Marsden are expected in the village.
Glen Keane, the animator behind Disney characters such as Ariel from The Little Mermaid, the beast in Beauty and the Beast, and Tarzan, creates life-sized, three-dimensional images in virtual reality.

Created by digital artist Eowyn ‘theantilove’ Smith: a map of the geographical locations of 44 Disney and 13 Pixar films from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (1937) to Frozen (2013).
Full image and key here.
Unmappable films like Wall-E and Monsters Inc appear in an inset. Elsewhere, following furious pedantry on Reddit and DeviantArt, Smith clarifies:
1. Movie was placed based on the location IMPLIED IN THE DISNEY/PIXAR VERSION
2. If the movie was too vague to determine a location, the original story/myth was consulted.

The Story Of Menstruation (1946)
From Disney.
The first film ever to use the word ‘vagina’ in its screenplay, apparently.

The directorial debut of Disney animator John Kahrs (Ratatouille, Tangled, The Incredibles, Toy Story 2, etc.) – a gorgeous hand-drawn short (which will play in cinemas next month as a support feature for Wreck-It Ralph) – now released by Disney in its entirely for your viewing pleasure.
Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute.
You can read more about how traditional hand drawn animation and computer generated images were combined to make the short.
