2014 is a year to remember with the release of some spectacular Walt Disney Studio motion pictures. 2014 brought us the start of a new story in Guardians of the Galaxy, we hit the road in an awesome custom-designed Ford Mustang in the Need for Speed, had a little Muppet caper in the Muppets Most Wanted. Luckily my family and I were able to see tons of movies in 2014, and the Disney movies were are favorite.
Now with 2015 here, we look forward to what greatness is lined up for Disney Studios 2015.
