Anybody notice those Starbucks Been There Mugs that were released for the Empire Strikes Back anniversary. They re sold out and being listed for crazy prices on eBay. I’d buy an Endor one.

I still have my set. McDonalds used to do glass cups very often.

Burger King had this set. We regularly use them.

I miss when Mcdonald made glass cups, they last time they did that was either for the first Shrek film, or Shrek The Third.

I have this poster in my office.

No wonder they re so expensive. I just realized they sold for $60 bucks each retail.

Just finished the Roger Rabbit Prop Culture episode. Great stuff! I'm just still constantly amazed they were able to get away with Jessica Rabbit in a... ahem... kid's movie.

Sounds familiar. Here are my Disney Parks POPs just sitting in our old school Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Wardrobe. All of my other Disney parks stuff is in the closet too. The only stuff I have displayed are my Disney parks books, my DLRR train station Olszewski light box, and a few Jim Shore and WDCC collection pieces. I’d like some more vintage Disneyland stuff but Disney collectors are many and have deep pockets. I only have some of those older ceramic plates and a candy dish from the 60s/70s that aren’t that rare or expensive.

A The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe wardrobe is a great entertainment-related thing to have because it’s functional. That’s awesome!

What is Ronald doing?

Roger Rabbit was actually aimed at older audience (mainly for people who grew up during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s due to the amount of classic cartoons characters present ).

Being a period movie doesn't necessarily gear it toward a specific age group.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Nightmare Before Christmas were both originally released under the Touchstone Pictures label because Disney was concerned about the appropriateness of their content.

Ah yes, I remember her well

Remember when Disney had different labels to keep the Disney name associated with wholesome family content? Good times.

Remember when a guy effectively shut down those labels and then paid $70 billion for the sort of content those labels produced?

Perhaps not significant in the big picture, but I've always appreciated that my copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas bears the Touchstone logo, before Disney discovered its fans and adopted it.

Anyone else like the Batman Forever McDonald's mugs?

I still own Robin and Two-Face to this day.

Well it's official. Not a spoiler alert for it has been announced in variety. Boba Fett will be on Mandalorian season 2 played by the actor who played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones. Sigh...this show just jumped the shark. This is as stupid as bringing The Emperor back in Rise of Skywalker. #NOONESEVERREALLYGONE

I was hoping he would play Rex with Ahsoka when the rumors first broke for him

I just hope it's some sort of message or recording or something along those lines rather than Boba Fett being alive again. I am not saying I expect that to happen and we obviously have seen Disney doesn't like making any Star Wars deaths permanent, but I feel like The Mandalorian was fantastic and I hope that it will continue to be a fantastic show and not have characters revived just because "hey remember the original bounty hunter, here he is!"

When your a little older I'll tell you.

Somebody I knew had the Star Wars glasses (can't for the life of me remember who it was, but I remember them). We had these BC character glasses from Taco Bell.
