#ZootopiaBetterZoogether They're really hoping everyone finds the "hey bub" thing hilarious, aren't they?

"Go baaaack!" A spooky, scary skeleton from the original #SnowWhite and Her Adventures attraction at Disneyland.

LOOK OUT FOR THE DINOSAUR

A rectangular box with an image of Gumby, scratching his head in confusion, as his horse, Pokey, shakes a tree full of red, orange, yellow, and green fruits. As they fruits fall to the ground, they resemble Gumby's head and face. To the right is the word "Gumbys" in light orange letters, and then "try my delicious Fruit Pectin Jelly Snacks, made with all natural ingredients. You'll love 'em"

Gumbys (1985-1986): Colorful, assorted-flavored "fruit pectin jelly snacks" shaped like the smiling face of the titular claymation icon. A promotional item, they were primarily sold at film festivals and animation-related events, as well as at some collectibles shops.

I dearly admire the Mid-century modern backgrounds done by Ralph Hulett and Al Dempster. It's such a whimsy and hypnotic time capsule of the post-war suburban boom with the essence of a lullaby. Animation studios would never let you get away from doing something like this again today.

These are all so unnerving, sorry!!! 😫😭

Most animation fans know about Dan Castellaneta taking over as the Genie in Aladdin, but do you know the other time he aped #RobinWilliams even more directly?

Concept art of Dopey warning us to "Beware of the Witch" in the original Snow White's Adventures ride, along with the actual scene. I prefer the piece where he's in the rafters holding a lantern. Great use of shadow. #SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs

Mornin’, Blueskyanians

It’s all about bottom teeth

While it’s not *technically* a Halloween item - it seems like a good time to share Popsicle’s Fear Factor Pop-Ups. There were two different flavors: sour cherry with gumball eyes and watermelon with sour lemon blood. (2006)

A maroon cereal box with Tony the Tiger, next to a metal spoon full of hexagonal cereal pieces in milk. The box sits in a bed of cereal, all dusted in cinnamon sugar

Tony's Cinnamon Krunchers (2003-2006): Hexagonal cereal pieces with a texture that could best be described as "flat Crispix", covered in a cinnamon-sugar dusting that Tony the Tiger himself boasted would not wash off in milk

For the record (and proof of AI art as pure nonsense) here's a photo of the five Marx Brothers, c. 1957

By the end of the 90s, McDonaldland character-themed Happy Meals had been almost entirely replaced with licensed properties. But, in the Asia-Pacific market, they were still getting incredible toys like GRIMACE THE RODEO RIDER!

Has anyone else noticed at WDW’s Haunted Mansion one of the ghost writer marble busts is now animated? Watch… closely.

My interpretation of the N64 Super Smash Bros commercial back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Enjoy!

Watched #Fixed and really enjoyed it! Not sure what all the pearl-clutching has been about. It's a raunchy comedy about dogs, and proud of it. We could use some more crass adult animated films, especially with such great artwork to back them up! There's some great linework on display!

Did you ever wonder what this horrifying creature from #AnAmericanTail is? The one we see for a few seconds munching on cockroaches? I always figured it was a pike of some sort, but according to the continuity script, it is a "sewer slug." Either way, classic #DonBluth horror.
