VOL.01
Take a Parisian tour with Mickey as Disney accurately depicts what rush hour is like in this city and addresses the highly important issue of croissant shortages in cafés after 11am. I mean, what is that? Who runs out of croissants?? No, I don’t want a tartine, I NEED MY F***… sorry, enjoy the video [...]
When I first stumbled across this picture, I assumed it was some clever photoshopping of a fairytale castle brought to life. But this is not a Disney set, this is the Neuschwanstein castle, a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace in Bavaria, Germany– the original Disney castle. Indeed, Neuschwanstein looks so much like a fairytale castle that Walt Disney himself was [...]
Long before today’s design festivals were exhibiting the latest prototypes for modern family homes featuring mechanised floors and furniture that emerge from walls and ceilings at the touch of a button, Mickey, Daffy and Goofy were already a step ahead. Mickey’s Trailer is a 1938 animated short film produced by Walt Disney featuring Mickey’s highly [...]
Chris Zabriskie is the narrator, editor and musical composer of this beautiful short film that revisits a childhood VHS tape which ‘miraculously never wore out’. Despite having never met Chris, he succeeds in making his memories completely meaningful for the rest of us. With his heartwarming narration interpreting those moments, he captures the poignant simplicity [...]
Everyone loved Up. Even grown men wept within the first 20 minutes (and then had to rip up their man cards into pieces). It’s a movie that really hit home with people, including a group of home developers in Utah… Bangerter Homes has recreated the Pixar house down to every last detail. They even had [...]
A little clip from my favorite Disney movie of all time… ♥ The Aristocrats (a.k.a Les Aristochats): Set in 1910, against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century Paris, The Aristocats was the last film that Walt Disney gave his approval for. Here are some beautifully drawn scenes from the film… I would love to find this hotel particulier [...]
So I’ve been sitting here, writing blogs and stuff when I could have been a mermaid this whole time! Meet Lauren, Erin and Katie, three full-time mermaids at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. And a Katie’s mom rightly points out, it’s way better than being a hooker. … In other mermaid news… Save the mermaids!! [...]
Sorry to ruin your childhood memories on this fine afternoon, but during my back alley stumblings of the internet today, I came across a rather disturbing fact that I think you should know. Prince Charming, Disney’s favorite stock character who managed to get with both Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella, he was so damn [...]
Disney World is no place for hipsters; a hipster-free zone … at least that’s what one would think. Its employees live under notoriously strict grooming regulations that would make it virtually impossible for anything hip to survive. Until now. In a revolutionary announcement this week, Disney World announced that they would be loosening their longstanding [...]
UPDATED AUGUST 14th 2012 When I first showed you these sweaters trending on the net, they were nothing more than a fun internet meme; photoshopped designs created by a couple of quirky kids with a blog that went viral. Appropriately or not so appropriately named ‘sexy-sweaters.com‘, the website has been inundated with requests to buy their [...]
