Love me some Kuzco & friends but Fantasia challenged what animation could do and led to a number of technical innovations. My vote is with Yensid!

I'm going to read WALDEN so hard when I get home!

Wild to see them advancing so much on this project. It was hard to know if they were going to make their opening deadline. But now feels like they'll be there (barring any major setbacks). Fingers crossed! I can't wait to check it out with my little one.

It's a blast to watch Derek come up with new and amazing items that celebrate theme parks of all kinds. I've got a number of his pieces, some pre-orders for those Dark Universe figures, and I know I'll be getting more as time goes on. Great shoutout!

Such a good chip! You'd have to be nuts not to like Utz.

Just pop him right into Whispering Canyon and make him get me all the ketchups!

Catsups?

We are now 40 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

That's a hard pill to take but you're right. As I saw a family on Small World whip out a tablet for their toddler, while the dad was FaceTiming someone and the mom was filming everything with her flash on.

I'm a sucker for all the Good Neighbor Program work that Disney Animation did after their trips to South America. So my vote has to go to The Three Caballeros.

@jrtoastyman.com going out shopping was a BAD idea!!! #whamhalla

Same. Got hit by a few different covers so far but nothing official yet. I'm looking over my shoulder here!

Well now we have to get Ken Marino back into an attraction at WDW!

As a supporter, I can say without hesitation that it is a worthwhile investment. Love seeing new articles, infographics, and build outs show up. I know it’s not much but I’m glad to be a part of something of substance for those kind of deep dive efforts.

Post your favorite "Transformers" character. Wrong answers only.

Nebraska lawmakers seek extra security at state Capitol ahead of 2026 session • Nebraska Examiner Nebraska lawmakers are looking to invest in additional security measures ahead of the nest legislative session beginning in 2026.

NEW SECURITY? The Nebraska Capitol is reviewing security protocols and approaches before the next legislative session in the wake of violence in other states. What that means is not yet clear.

I certainly hope so. Rumors say start of the year so I expect we'll be hearing about it sooner rather than later. 🤞

Getting closer to that AP drop though with this news!

Willamette dammit! Gets them every time.

This is one of my very favorite images, as it features characters performed by Jim Henson throughout his life holding photos (or, in the case of Ernie, drawings) of him at about the period he was performing the character. Among the Muppets shown: Cantus, Dr. Teeth, the Swedish Chef, Sam, Link Hogthrob, Ernie, Kermit (two iterations), and Guy Smiley.

Jim Henson would've been 89 years old today. Commemorate his life and legacy by celebrating creativity, diversity, imagination, peace, and just plain silliness.

Walk with me a bit while I talk about Jim and his work--and leave your comments about what he means to you.

Right this way. /1

For months I've been recreating the Nautilus Vulcania map. Going from a scan from the Maps of the Disney Parks book, a lot of 100 MP photos I've taken and hours in Photoshop and Illustrator I'm happy to share it with all of you!

Enjoy!

Beads?

Love a lot of the decisions here that would really elevate this park. Takes it to the next level for sure.

That's right! Three suns wreck havoc on his systems.
