Sorry to those who are getting frustrated, but...this has quickly become one of my favorite topics ever!

Just one more thing. I have this logo on YouTube which is Walt Disney Television in CGI, Pixar style. This was featured in John Coffey's "Screen Gems Nightmare 4.0" courtesy of the Closing Logo Group. If you want to see the Pixar version one more time before "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" comes out in 2 weeks before the new logo appears, here it is.

NOTE: Video has been removed by YouTube staff due to terms of use violation.

The film opened today in Australia, and I've seen the new Walt Disney Pictures Identity (The logo itself hasn't changed).

It starts flying over a country landscape, then the camera pulls up into the clouds while fireworks go off in frame, then the camera pulls back to reveal a flag, then the whole castle, which is now Cinderalla Castle at Walt Disney World rather than Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle. The camera settles infront of the fully CG rendered castle, with a pink sunset behind it. The text Walt Disney Pictures shimmers into view below the castle, also rendered, and then the arc appears over the castle as a trail of pixie dust.

The whole thing is beautiful and it the best ident of all the Hollywood Studios. The 80's are over!

As much as I love the new ident, I still prefer the Pixar castle due to it's timelessness and it's simplicity - a midway point between the new and the old.

The only problem is that it may be hard to alter to a specific film, as has been done with most films recently.

Thanks! Will see if they have screenshots of the new logo if it comes out soon as well as the video of the new logo once if "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest" comes out tomorrow. I'm not going to film it on my camcorder, because the theater won't allow it. Will have to wait until the DVD comes out in the next several months and will have screenshots and video of the new logo.

I had a rumor that "The Little Mermaid" Platinum Edition DVD is suppose to have the new logo instead of the old one from the 80's. I'm not really sure if it's going to happen in the fall. Will have to wait and see. If not, it's not happening if "The Little Mermaid" would still use the retired Walt Disney Pictures logo in place on the Platinum Edition DVD.

It starts flying over a country landscape...

Thanks for the description! It sounds like a cool overhaul. It's got to be better than the boring black-and-orange version.

And so does the retired 80's original blue and light-blue version.

Will it be at the beginning of PotC, because the first film didn't have any Disney logo at the start. Also, there are actually three logos, if my count is right- there's the classic blue logo (with it's regular music, it's just beautiful), then there's the CG logo that debuted in front of Toy Story, and has stuck with all the Pixar films, than there's a completly new logo that debuted on The Kid (if I remember corectly) that is orange and is on most live action films from the past few years. So will this replace all three logos, or will the CG logo stay for

Anyway, I don't want to judge before I see it, but over the past few years, many studios have changed their logos, and I don't really like them. The only ones I do like is the newest Universal logo, which is 9 years old, but that'll probably be going soon (since the previous logo only last 7 years and started with BttF III in 1990 and by 1997 it was replaced with the current one). Hopefully it's not as horrible as the new DreamWorks Animation logo (just awful) or even worse, the new Paramount, which is easily the worst piece of animation I've ever seen (I absolutely hate that logo), what was wrong with the old one that they had to replace it with such a terrible one?

As for the new Disney logo, I was hoping if they changed it, they would come up with a totally new look and style for the studio. The animation that I think would have made an awesome logo was used in the DCA promo, where you pull out of the dawn-lit sky and see the Grizzly mountain which then roars and then the text identifying the park comes to the screen. Would have been really cool to see that used as the Walt Disney Pictures logo, but it definitly would look like a rip off of both the MGM and Paramount logos.

Just tell me one thing about it, please tell me Hans Zimmer did not write the music that comes with the logo, because Zimmer's one of the worst composers ever! For film or anywhere else.

I've seen the new logo(and I believe it was officially called a logo, not an identity), and it is very beautiful! It's really gorgeous, actually! At first when my friend and I saw the castle spire with the flag, we thought it was going to be a pirate ship, but it turned out to be Walt Disney World's Cinderella Castle, and the fireworks were nice but I thought the best effect was the Disney dust arcing over it, and Walt Disney's signature appearing in more Disney dust! It was very beautiful, and better than Pixar's Disney logo. However, I think all movies should have their original theatrical logos kept in place whenever they are re-released(as the Walt Era films have not had on DVD), so I don't want to see this on The Little Mermaid...

Sounds cool. I can't wait to see it. I hope they don't put it before The Little Mermaid either but we shall see.

I don't think that Disney is going to put the new logo on this release, or any other movie pre-PotC2

Forgive me if this was said in one of the descriptions and I didn't see it, but what kind of music played during the new logo/identity? Was it the music that played during the Blue Castle opening? Was it a newly created piece? Or was it just the movie's score?

[memnv]

New logo was awesome

It's a newly created rendition of "When You Wish Upon A Star," and a gorgeous one, at that. I was very impressed with the logo. It was done in a very classy way, and gave me goosebumps. I wish someone would post it online because I think the cottages we saw as we flew over the village were from classic animated films.

[PatrickvD]

It's like the new opening logo of Walt Disney Pictures greenlights a new era for the Company, Eisner is gone, things are different now.

well that and a record breaking $55.5 million opening day for Dead man's Chest. For the record, that's more than what Superman Retursn made over its entire first weekend. The Disney executives can breath again.

[Mr. Bungle]

The new logo wasn't what I expected, but I really like it.

As much as I like the simplicity of the old logos, even the old Pixar version, with other studios having fancier logos like Warner's "twist-in" type logo they have now, I really like it.

Also, like PatrickvD said, it is also a signal of a new era.

[Buzz Lightyear]

I'm still wondering, will this replace all three of the previous logos (which are the classic blue, the orange on black background and the Pixar one). Because I really hope they keep the Pixar one for future Pixar films. Now, I still haven't seen it but I am a bit mad that they use the WDW castle instead of the classic DL castle. Disneyland is the staple of the Disney Company, Disney World is just an imitator of it. If it weren't for Disneyland, Disney World wouldn't exist, if Disney World didn't exist, than Disneyland would be even better. Quit focusing on the imitatior and put the spotlight back on the original.

It seems that Dead Man's Chest has been getting quite a lot of negative reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes.com it has a rating of 47%. Not too good. It has yet to be released in my country, and I think Cars is giong to be released here at the end of summer. Harumph!
