Our First Look At The New Toy Story Short Featuring Jessie!

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, May 14th, 2013

We were excited to hear Toy Story was getting a Halloween Special but we finally have a few more details as well as this first image. The half-hour short is set to air on ABC and is called Toy Story of Terror. TV Guide reports:

[It] follows the adventures of the toys post-Toy Story 3, in which a fun road trip takes a very unexpected turn. “Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom and the toys are in the trunk,” producer Galyn Susman says. “Mom gets a flat tire and they have to spend the night at a motel and all kinds of chaos ensues.”While Terror will include Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles) and Rex (Wallace Shawn), Jessie (Joan Cusack) will have a more prominent role in the special. “We’ve gotten to see a lot of development in Woody and in Buzz and we felt it was Jesse’s turn to really show some growth.” Susman says.

About time, I’d say. Look for the special this October.

by Susana Polo | 4:18 pm, May 9th, 2013

I know what you’re thinking: Who the heck is Big Hero 6? Well, it’s not who is, it’s who are, and if you’re not thinking this and know who Big Hero 6 are, congratulations, you probably love comics. Like, a lot.

Big Hero 6 are a misfit superhero team of teens, robots, robot-dragons and weirdos who first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1998, and now they’re going to be the first Marvel characters to get a film animated by Disney Studios.

Things We Saw Today: Tiny Chocolate Benedict Cumberbatch’s Backside

by Susana Polo | 4:53 pm, April 29th, 2013

Rebecca told me it was okay to make that the title of this post, so blame her. This was apparently left in the hotel room of Simon Pegg by the hotel’s services, and yes, it is entirely chocolate. (That’s Nerdalicious!)

Real Or Not Real?

Characters From Classic Disney Movies Pose With Their Real-Life Counterparts

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:30 pm, April 26th, 2013

And when I say “real-life counterparts” I mean the people who modeled for Disney’s artists, not the characters themselves, which sadly still do not exist in the real world. Shame. I want to see the Mad Hatter and Peter Pan prank the heck out of Prince Charming. Get on that, Once Upon a Time.

Redditor jamieleto posted the pictures found behind the cut, wherein stills from Snow White, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and more are spliced together with pictures of the models used by the illustrators for reference. It’s a pretty cool blast from the past, not to mention how awesome the giant scissors they built for Tinkerbell are.

Hello Kitty and Kiss are Teaming Up to Make Us an Animated Show

by Susana Polo | 2:45 pm, March 29th, 2013

There’s no doubt that people like to take the distinctive silhouette of Hello Kitty and wrap it in the colors and accessories of other media properties, particularly ones with tones wildly divergent from “cute animal people doing cute things.” Sometimes those mashups are even created by Sanrio themselves, like when they created Hello Kitty merchandise in the likeness of each member of the band KISS.

And now, as Sanrio partners with KISS and The Hub television channel for Kiss Hello Kitty, a cartoon show, announced today, which is apparently already in production.
