Disney

According to the good folks over at Arrow in the Head, Saw VI is apparently more than the rating boards of Spain can handle. The film has earned itself an X rating despite being wildly successful in all its other incarnations. What is it about Saw VI that has the Spanish MPAA's pantalones all in a twist? Did they get shipped an unrated cut? Or do they just like the idea of pairing it with Debbie Does Barcelona as a double feature? The craziest part of this whole story, in my opinion, is that the company that distributes the Saw films in Spain...is freaking Disney! Oh yeah, and Disney has pulled all its promotional material (television ads, posters, and the like) and is currently in a battle with the Spanish MPAA over the issue.

If that name of all that is geek converging with all that is Disney, today's D23 conference brought with it news of a new line of especially thrilling animated fare called Double Dare You that will be overseen by that oft-producing, oft-directing, and generally busy, busy, busy Guillermo del Toro.

According to Kevin Kelly over at Cinematical, a pre-recorded message from del Toro announced that "the first film under the label will be an original idea of his called Trollhunters," while a follow-up would be -- in Guillermo's words -- something "that you will be very familiar with."

Variety's report helped fill in a bit more of the nonetheless vague details, saying that not only will del Toro produce everything under this new banner, but he might even direct some of the projects himself. Yeah, just because he might accidentally have some free time amidst all his other announced projects...

Do you think del Toro can bring a more mature edge to the Disney name?
