Gosling's teachers didn't find the antiauthority thing terribly cute, so when he was 10 his mom, whom he describes as Karin-like in her tenacity, began homeschooling him. At 12, Gosling auditioned for The All New Mickey Mouse Club, the 1990s revival of the kiddie variety show, the one that launched the more mainstream careers of Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

Broadway smash Wicked posits that the Wicked Witch of the West was misunderstood. This fall Disney (et tu, Mickey?) releases Enchanted, in which a princess (Amy Adams) is magically banished by an evil queen to modern New York City, where she must fend for herself, parodying her princess foremothers as she goes.
