Toy Story, Tron Style...

Game oooooooon...


Now this is cool...

I can see Decadent Dave is going to be spending a lot of money come this October. The pics of the toys that the Mouse is going to seduce geeks with this fall for "Tron Legacy" are starting to come out.

What if you wanted to have your keyboard look Tron-swanky?



And of course, you need a mouse.



Or maybe you want to have a tricked out tv remote?



Then you have to have a nice sound system for your iPhone that looks like a Tron Disc.



And everyone wants their own collectible villain.



How about this nice poster for the Zero G Light Cycle, cool huh?



Then again, forget the poster. I want the actual thing.



Or even better, Flynn's Light Cycle.



And you're going to have to write that check out for all this, right?



Start preparing to break open that piggy bank...

Pooh In Its Original Form...

I love Pooh!


Walt Disney Pictures will release a new Winnie the Pooh film that is currently scheduled to bow on the silver screen in 2011...

There goes that year again. Sorry, I couldn't help it. But seriously, the great thing about this is the creative change that has happened. Sure, it's a new Pooh film. It's another chance for the Mouse to market their second most popular property, but...

It. Is. Hand. Drawn.

Big deal you say? Actually, I think it is. If Michael Eisner was still in charge along with the Suits that are no longer running Disney Consumer Products then you can bet it would be CG just like "My Friends Tigger & Pooh" and would have the lifelessness of that same series. Instead, it'll be hand drawn. It'll be theatrical so you can expect the quality to be better than a direct to video or DVD release. I'm not saying it'll be as good as "The Princess and the Frog" or something like it, but I am saying it'll be of a much higher caliber than "Pooh's Heffalump Movie" was. And I will bet you the story will be quite good. Two words why:

John Lasseter.

He is directly in charge of this project and loves Disney's endearing characters. He has no intention of mucking them up in some drab, bland story set up to sell plush toys. He will be watching over it and therefore I will most likely be going to see it.

Now I've got to go and try to remember why I have this string on my finger...

The Beauty In All Things Tangible (Part One)...

There a lot of things one can collect if they're into Disney...

There is an art sometimes to just packaging. A sculpture sometimes says more than just what it's trying to convey or a DVD collection can be just a thing of beauty. Let's take a look at some of the interesting things that can come from a Mouse....

On video or DVD or Laserdisc even...


























Or the lovely way you can showcase music...







Or even the packages that hold the packages...





And speaking of music, check out these maracas from the very talented designer Kevin Kidney...



Or if you wanted to listen to music in the 30's/40's and loved Disney, how about these nice Emerson radios...





Then there's the lovely tomes that are available, even if they're not your cup of tea...







And some that you might find interesting if you, like me, enjoy pirates...



Or these fantastic recreations from Disney classics by Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily...









And if you're looking at these when it starts getting dark you may need a little light. How about this lantern inspired by the "Song of the South" film?



Or if you have a large house, a mansion if you will, then perhaps this table lamp recreation from a prop in the Haunted Mansion...



Me? I prefer this very Arts and Crafts style lamp that focuses on Bambi...



How about a game? Let's play an old classic themed to Disney love...



Perhaps a game of cards...



Into a little nostalgia? How about a replica of the old Hyperion sign from Disney Studios...



And if you're getting a little tired curl up on your bed with one of these Mary Blair art inspired pillows...



Or this beautiful glasswork based on the famous poster from 20K that Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily did...






And you all know how much I love posters, like this one about the Tiki Room is very cool and interesting...





Now if you've got a dog that you know happens to love Disney then these are waiting to be placed around his neck...





And if you're running late you might want to carry one of these...





Sometimes you need to carry that Disney artwork with you and it just won't fit. That's when a themed thumb drive like this comes in handy...





And while we're talking about technology, if you want to carry those Disney tunes around this might make a swell thing to do it with...




I've never been a big lanyard person, but if I were this would be the first thing on my list...




Also there are those really rare or expensive specialty items...





Or for those of you that want to be like John Lasseter there is this...




And if watching the latest Disney film makes you cry, I've got the solution...




Wouldn't you have liked to have had these to send just a few weeks ago...




And lastly, we can't forget the stamps...



TTFN...
