The Most Expensive 2015 Disney Calendar

frozencollectionI really enjoyed watching Disney’s animated feature Frozen and of course the song “Let It Go” sung by Idina Menzel.  Frozen fans will buy anything and everything related to the flick, and this is for wealthy Frozen fans, I guess the upper 1%.  This ain’t no regular calendar you find at Barnes & Nobles discount rack!  This is a platinum-studded Frozen calendar that costs $835,800USD, okay wait … take a breath.  Yes, $835,800USD.  I can buy house for this!

The Big Hero 6 Japan Promo

Disney Animated Short Film – Paperman

To expand on Stephen’s viral video from yesterday, here’s the Full Animated Short titled Paperman. Set in the 1940’s, it’s about a missed connection and a young man’s attempt to get the attention of a young woman through the help of paper airplanes.  Directed by John Kahrs and Executive Produced by John Lasseter of Pixar fame, this six and a half minute film was first shown with the theatrical release of Wreck-It Ralph plus it has been nominated for Best Animated Short Film for this year’s Academy Awards. This group did a remarkable job blending 2D animation with CG and kudos to Disney for showing that they can still produce such a heartfelt animated short, for all the romantics out there, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Tarzan Celebrates 100 Years!!!

Today we celebrate 100 years of Tarzan, the man-child raised by apes in the jungles of Africa, born from the imaginary mind of author Edgar Rice Burroughs who created the popular fictional character that first leaped onto printed pages in 1912.

When I received a review copy of Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration in the mail, I was really stunned at how beautiful this hardbound book was.  Author and Tarzan fanatic Scott Tracy Griffin went all out – this book is a comprehensive collection of all things Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs.  First of all, this book has an awesome collection of illustrations, book art, comic book art, cover art, and archive photos from the various movies and television shows.  It also covers various aspects of the Tarzan universe, such as, merchandising, toys, fan clubs, fan conventions, and it even includes a dictionary on what is known as “ape” language.  I can speak ape now!
