I loved Wall-E! I thought it was so cute.

Me too. I thought that film was so imaginative. I thought it was amAzing how they could make us relate to a robot.

I'm a huge Pixar fan, but I didn't really care for Cars 2 or Monsters University. I don't think they should do sequels.

I think this is a good general rule. Toy Story might be the exception for me. I thought the sequels were great. But most sequels just put a tarnish on the original movie. Too risky.

Selling now at the Poly if you want to pick one up on your trip.

I saw it, I never ate it. Like I said I'm not big on eating stuff like that out in public, way too messy for the parks. At least Flame's fall off the bone ribs I don't get as messy with. I'm not likely to ever walk the parks either gnawing on a Turkey Leg either.

that reminds me, I have to try these ribs.
I tried some ribs at Harambe Market, they were good!

Personally for me, I'll take Dreamworks over Pixar.

Cars 2 was .. awful compared to the first.

Also Monsters University didnt hit a lot, because not every country uses the same style of universities.

but I totally cant wait for The Incredibles 2.

I have a soft spot for the Turtles like @Cesar R M They brought a great deal of joy to my DS childhood and that basic good guy vs bad guy theme and there was always some softer moral issue introduced in the episodes.

What does surprise me is how many times these little reptiles have had a beauty make-over. Swear they have been rebooted more times that Barbie.

lets see:

1. Mirage Comics
2. Archie Comics
3. 1987 Cartoon
4. Life Action Movies (x3)
   
5. 2003 Cartoon Reboot
6. Back to the Sewers live action series. (awful)
7. 2003 extended run ("Fast Forward").
8. Mirage era 2003 Comics.
   
9. 2007 Movie
10. 2012 TMNT by Nickelodeon
11. IDW TMNT Comics
12. IDW Animated & Adventures comics
13. Michael Bayverse TMNT 2014 and 2016.
14. TMNT 2015 Half Shell Heroes.

More snow coming in for us...Tuesday into Wednesday. Just a small amount, around 3 inches. If the weather person is correct.

Enjoy! Make a mini snowman for me!

Thanks, I will. View attachment 118395

Yup, hubby grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and that's just how those gorgeous mountains look! (I went to Colorado for the first time about 20 years ago.) Very nice paintings.

That's great! Sewing project #4 reversible fleece pants for my younger ds. That is not of my choosing but he'll like them.

I don't understand. I can't figure out how you'd hide the side seams, when one of the pattern sides would end up on the outside (if he turned them inside out to wear the other side).

One or two more pictures, the first one was copied after a Thomas Kincaid painting, mom wanted this done for her living room. I told her that I could only do it for her private use, and wanted it back, so I wouldn't get in trouble about plagiarism. Here it is, View attachment 118440

OMG, that is awesome!! (I've also always liked Thomas Kincaide's paintings--he's drawn so many beautiful scenes that I just wanted to jump inside his paintings and live there . . . )

 

[MinnieM123]

And the last, I love the ocean and boats too. I painted this listening to "sailing". I always painted with music on, and pretty good volume...depending on the subject. View attachment 118442

That's lovely too. I like all your paintings.

 

[MinnieM123]

I do too. I have it propped up against the wall in the basement. I feel guilty putting it out on display, as it's not my work...but it gave Mom a lot of pleasure. I hope that wasn't wrong. I didn't want to sign it, but Mom insisted. She didn't understand the laws of plagiarism. My heart was in the right place. It will be destroyed when I'm gone. DD has clear instructions on that.

From my point of view, I don't think it matters if you paint an exact copy of his painting, just as long as you don't sell it, while calling it something else. Keeping it for your own use, or sharing with someone in the family is fine. No need to destroy it. That would be awful. Let others get some enjoyment out of it as well.

I don't always get the sponsor thing at Disney World but usually can connect the dots. Pizzafari in Animal Kingdom is now sponsored by Smucker's A new direction for Pizza Pies?

It's probably in connection with Smuckers Uncrustables which are offered as a QS kids meal.

 

[MinnieM123]

I hope you all will allow me one more indulgence, we had a lot of covered bridges in Indiana, and my love of the ocean...View attachment 118522

This is the last, I promise. A whimsical moment in my life.

Someone who can paint a picture as pretty as that, has a beautiful mind.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Look at these adorable designs!

Adorable is the Nick special that'll be on at the end of this month?

I'm unwilling to join in the protests against Starbucks over a cup. Still I have to admit this is the most boring cup I've seen them launch for the holiday season. Years past they were whimsical and fun. Reminds me of Disney's decision years back to go generic with the universal Disney Parks stuff.

So, on the early morning news today, I heard about the big brooha over these cups, of all things. Heck, they're still red and green, and those are Christmas colors to me. I don't understand the big stink about no Christmas trees or whatever on them. Starbucks is a modern, edgy company, and I don't expect them to have Currier and Ives drawings of sleigh rides and Christmas wreaths on cottage doors, on their cups. The colors are fine with me for the Christmas season.

 

[MinnieM123]

This one's my favorite!

I think it's mine, too. @betty rose , for some reason, this whimsical one reminded me a little of some of Grandma Moses' paintings -- gentle, attractive scenes.

I loved The Lorax. Am I the only one?

I loved it too. That song "How ba-aa-aa-aad can I be?" gets stuck in my head.
