Happy 20th Anniversary to Disney's 'A Goofy Movie'.

8:27:00 PM
My brother let me know today that I was getting pretty old...



My brother let me know that he read via Entertainment Weekly that today is Disney's 'A Goofy Movie' 20th anniversary. 

I have a true weak spot for this animated movie... I'm not sure why. What I will tell you is that it's my second favorite Disney movie after 'The Lion King(That's right! Beat out all of the Disney Princesses). Till this day I think this movie was terribly over looked. If you haven't seen it, go watch it NOW!

Max was moody and like many of us embarrassed by his dad, Goofy. They went through trial and tribulations and all sorts of ups and downs/father son fights. The movie had some really great emotional scenes going on. At the end I think Max realized what was important and realized his dad loved him and would do anything for him. Goofy even helped Max catch the affection of his mega crush and ultra Disney babe Roxanne.



One of the things I think has been over looked the most in A Goofy Movie is that spectacular songs. Tevin Campbell voiced 'Powerline' which was Max's and all of his friends super cool music idol. He was super smooth, had movies like Michael Jackson and an awesome futuristic style. 


He also sang amazing songs with fantastic lyrics like "Eye 2 Eye' and "Stand Out". I think Eye 2 Eye might be one of my favorite songs in like as a matter of fact. The lyrics are so romantic and inspiring and the song has so much energy. It's absolutely fantastic. 

Lyrics from Eye 2 Eye and the great 'Perfect Cast' dance Goofy and Max created. A truly heart warming movie.

If you're a good friend you'll pay The Goofy Movie Forward. It's so ridiculously underrated, I've talked to so many people about this. Tell you're friends about them or even better do something that I've done, buy them the DVD and give it to them! 

Below is my favorite song from the movie Eye 2 Eye. Goofy and Max crash PowerLine's concert and it's pretty epic. Enjoy!

CINDERELLA vs BELLE: Princess Rap Battle.

11:01:00 AM
These Disney Babes Have Verses For Days.




Cinderella (Sarah Michelle) and Belle (Gellar & Whitney Avalon) tear eachother apart in the Princess Rap Battle posted on Whitney Avalon's YouTube channel. Cinderella really goes for the jugular and Belle is brilliant with her comebacks. 

Cinderella: I’m the American Dream/With a fairy-tale wedding/You’ve got teapots for friends/And I think your man’s shedding.

Belle: "You can't fall in love after just one dance," Avalon's Belle raps. "My prince saved my life and don't be misled ... I want a man in the street, but a beast in the bed." 

Catch more of these clever verses by watching the video below.

Fast-Forward to January, I'm browsing the ArtFido instagram account and I run into this:

Disney XD To Reboot ‘Ducktales’ Animated Series For 2017!

12:01:00 PM
When I was younger, This is all I wanted to do. I carried this image in my head for a very long time...





I mean seriously, Don't act like you didn't want to! It looks like the funnest thing in the world.

Take me back to Duckburg!

I used to love watching Huey, Dewey and Louie, and Donald Duck in the afternoons on Disney. They were so funny and adorable! It was truly a great animated series, after all let's not forget the fact it is a Emmy winner.
Imagine my excitement when I learned Disney XD was revisiting this series. It's slated to launch in 2017 so get excited!




The series will pretty much have the same story line as before. It will follow around Scrooge McDuck, and his super curious, trouble making grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. Other familiar characters are expected to re-visit the series as well such as Launchpad McQuack, Flintheart Glomgold, and the Beagle Boys.

Are you ready for this crew again?



The only thing that can put the cherry on top of everything for me is if they were to keep the theme song! (You all know how I feel about my theme songs).

Throwback to Sacha Goldberger 'Super Flemish'.

12:46:00 PM
Ok so I know this isn't really a "Throwback" (Dr. Evil Fingers) but I just started this blog recently and was looking for any excuse to feature French Photographers Sacha Goldberger's 'Super Flemish' series.

Goldberger took some fictitious pop culture icons such as superheros, fairytale characters and animals then photographed them as 16th century Flemish-style paintings. They wore their traditional outfits but with old-fashioned twists like ruffled collars and shirts with puffy sleeves. Over 100 people worked on the photos from this series, including 60 models, five costume designers and two digital editors.

Below be prepared to see some of your favorites, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Batman, Snow White, Darth Vader, The Hulk, Spiderman and more.

Wasabi Art Makes Sushi More Fun To Eat By Tamashiro Jon.

2:42:00 PM
Talk about Sushi Porn. 

While roaming through my instagram feed, I saw the good people over at Tokidoki featured a wasabi Bastardino character and it was freaking adorable! I was very impressed by the detail in the wasabi art, beautiful food art really. They linked the photo back to Tamashiro Jon's profile. He is currently a Chef at M Life Nightclub in Hawaii.


After a little instagram stalking on his profile, I was absolutely delighted to see all of the cute characters he's been creating. Characters from Disney, Sanrio, Tokidoki, and more. I can only hope to make my way down to Hawaii one day and see one of his creations in person (Kawaii!).

As someone who really enjoys eating out, It's not always 100 percent about the food but also about the way everything is displayed. When you see something beautiful on a dish it immediately opens up your appetite before even tasting the food, I suspect this is something chef Tamashiro is very good at. I Seeing these characters in person would leave me with an absolute smile on my face.

Below see some of Tamashiro Jon's creations.

Ted

Pusheen The Cat

Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Stitch from Lilo and Stitch

Good Luck Bear from the Carebears.

Doraemon

Keroppi

Yoshi from Super Mario Bros

Domo

If you're in Hawaii make sure to stop by M Life Nightclub and experience Tamashiro Jon's work in person. If you can't make it out, live vicariously through his Instagram @meestaaroha.
