The Morning Watch: A Compilation Of Disney Logo Variants, Paul Rudd’s Original ‘Mac And Me’ Prank & More
The Morning Watchis a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.
In this edition, watch a collection of the various makeovers given to theWalt Disney Picturescastle logo from 1985 through present day. Plus, take a look back at the first timePaul Ruddever prankedConan O’Brienwith a clip fromMac and Me, and listen asJulia Louis-Dreyfusbreaks down some of her most famous characters from throughout her career.
First up, The Walt Disney Pictures castle logo has been changed plenty of times over the years to fit a certain visual aesthetic of a given movie being distributed from the House of Mouse. This includes changing the castle style entirely to fading it out in a special way. This video fromTheDeadlySquidputs pretty much all of them together from 1985 through today. One of my personal favorites is the one fromTRON Legacy, but there are some great variants here.
Paul Rudd has been pranking Conan O’Brien with the same clip from theE.T. The Extra Terrestrialrip-offMac and Mefor a long time now. But the first time it ever happened was all the way back in 2004 onLate Night with Conan O’Brien, when Rudd pretended to have a secret clip from the series finale ofFriends, which he had a recurring guest role on when it was still airing.
Finally,Seinfeldstar Julia Louis-Dreyfus took the time to sit withVanity Fairto break down some of her most memorable roles from throughout her career. Obviously she covers her most famous role onSeinfeld, but she also digs back into her short time as aSaturday Night Livecast member, voice work inA Bug’s Life, supporting role inNational Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, her recent run on HBO’sVeep, and even some early work from when she was a child.
