Disney ready to release "Lion King 3D"
Nobody really knew Matthew Broderick could sing, back in the early '90s. Still, it's a little bit of a surprise to recall that Disney used somebody else to do his crooning in 1994's "The Lion King." A year later, Broderick would storm Broadway in the musical revival "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Twining."
It still looks lovely, with beautifully drawn lions and hyenas plus a warthog.
"Lion King" was the movie that Disney insiders regard as a high-water mark for traditional Disney animation, the exclamation point on the success story that began with "The Little Mermaid" and continued with "Beauty and the Beast." That cell-animated classic earns a nice 3-D dressing up in "The Ling King 3D," Disney's two-week reissue of the film, opening Friday. That's to be followed by an early October release on Blu-ray.

47 Chances, for short
a meerkat, a mandrill, a hornbill and assorted other denizens of the African savannah. The wildebeest stampede is almost as novel and breathtaking as it was when the film was new.
Maybe "Hakuna Matata" has become a musical cliché, but the Jackson Five "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" still tickles. And Elton John's anthems "Can You Feel the Love Tonight!" and "The Circle of Life" are likewise so much a part of the culture as to seem worn, but still soar.
Disney used to reissue its classics to theaters for short runs so that a new generation could experience them the way they were meant to be seen. That makes this "Lion King" revival part of a grand tradition, 3-D or not. Some who were just children 17 years ago have the chance to make this the first Disney film their kids see in a theater.
The 3-D doesn't add much, only depth to this film, which won a couple of Oscaars upon its release. A wildebeest or hyena almost falls into your lap here and there.

160,000 military homes to get rooftop arrays
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
The last time I checked in with SolarCity was back in June when underwater hockey enthusiast Lyndon Rive's San Mateo, Calif. based photovoltaic powerhouse had just received a whopping $280 million investment from that tiny teeny, obscure search engine company known as Google.
That investment, the largest residential solar fund created in the U.S., was to aid SolarCity in continuing to offer attractive, innovative financing alternatives to homeowners who are interested in solar but are put off by the daunting up-front installation costs.
Now here's this: Wednesday,
SolarCity (solarcity.com) — which also expanded to the East Coast just this year — announced the launch of SolarStrong, an audacious, $1 billion project that aims to double the number of residential photovoltaic systems across the U.S. through the installation of rooftop solar arrays on 160,000 homes and other buildings, such as community centers and administrative buildings, on the country's military bases.
In total, 124 different military housing developments in 33 states would partake in the program, which is expected to create as many as 6,000 jobs over the next five years, many of them earmarked for U.S. veterans and
military families. Right now, SolarStrong is already underway at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii where, when all is said and don., 2,000 military homes will boast rooftop solar arrays.
Given the magnitude of the project, it's no surprise the federal government has stepped in to help — the Department of Energy has extended a conditional commitment for a partial guarantee of a $344 million loan that will support SolarStrong. The government's financial involvement in the project has raised a few eyebrows considering that another solar company, Solydra, declared bankruptcy just last week after receiving a $535 million loan guarantee through the Department of Energy's Loan Guarantee Program.
SolarCity insists the government is not at risk this time around particularly because the loans will kick in after the military installations are up and running; there's also the fact that SolarCity, unlike Solyndra, is an established, 5-year-old company.
The U.S. Department of Defense is America's largest consumer of electricity (something that I always forget) and the project, which will add 371 megawatts of solar generation capacity, will certainly more than help the D.O.D. reach its goal of harnessing 25 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2025.
Photo fetches $23K for charity
The tintype photograph was in a bin, about to be shipped out, when a worker grabbed it and sent it to the charity's local online department. The item was then put up for auction.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Goodwild worker who spotted a photograph of Confederate General Robert E. Lee has helped the charity make $23,000 in an online auction.
It was also a record auction for the charity. The previous record was an early 1900s watercolor that sold for $7,500.
Goodwill spokeswoman Suzanne Kay-Pittman said Thursday that the tintype was headed to an outlet store before the worker spotted it. She says there it would have fetched a dollar and change based on its weight
Associated Press
Kay-Pittman says the successful bidder lives in Virginia.
The sale was first reported by The Tennesseean.
