Leica and Disney celebrating ‘100 Years of Wonder’ with limited-edition Q2 digital camera

NewsDigital CamerasDisneyLeica

The Walt Disney Company is preparing to celebrate its “100 Years of Wonder” as the company turns 100 years old. While there will be plenty of merchandise available online and in its theme parks, there is one item that I don’t think many saw coming. Leica has spent the last 100 years developing “precise optical instruments which have revolutionized the world of imaging many times over” and has ties to the earliest days of when Walt Disney was hand-drawing cartoons. Leica (called Leitz at the time) cameras and projectors were used to capture the storyboards that animations are made from, and now the two companies are working together again. As part of the “100 Years of Wonder,” Leica is creating a special limited-edition run of its Q2 camera with a Disney skin.

Pixar changed the film industry forever when it released Toy Story back in 1995.

It’s a great time to be a gamer as we continue to see old classics re-made into new current gen games (as long as it’s legal!).

Gamers will be able to play as Scrooge McDuck in this re-make of the classic side-scrolling game as he journeys through different parts of the world. Follow along as he travels to far off places such as the Amazon, Transylvania, and the moon. The game features voice-overs from all the original actors, retaining the authentic experience of this 80’s classic. DuckTales: Remastered supports Bluetooth controllers and is available for download today with a $9.99 price tag. There is also a console version available as well for Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360.
