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

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)

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 From left to right: Harpo, Zeppo, Chico, Groucho and Gummo

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.

Fanart Fridays! My interpretation of the N64 Super Smash Bros commercial back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Enjoy! #drawing #fanart #videogames #supersmashbros #nintendo64 #pikachu #yoshi #mario #donkeykong #mixedmediumart

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.

Spotted this window filled with toy trains on Main Street. I appreciate that not every window is filled with current-day merchandise. It's good to have shop windows whose sole purpose is for storytelling.🚂 Anyone know any tidbits about this lovely window at Disneyland?

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: The "I need six eggs" line is part of a *different* conversation from the "too expensive" one. The man is referring to the price of a vase, not eggs. We can say plenty of bad things about Gaston, but causing a product scarcity is not one of them.

Concept art theorized to be for a walkthrough attraction based on #TheJungleBook for Tokyo Disneyland. www.icollector.com/A-Jungle-Boo...

Disney/Mickey's Parade Pops (circa 1986-2001): A line of thick, fruit-flavored ice pops noted for their unique "snap" and texture, and shaped like Disney characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Flavors included grape, orange, and cherry

For years people would kinda go "well, why does that change matter? What difference does it make?" But these little things, these little details and changes add up and start snowballing, and then the whole thing, the value, the perception of the thing has changed.

I didn't expect to see a Carl Barks reference in the #Aladdin series! Iago and Scrooge really are birds of a feather.

The early designs for #Aladdin had him look a little younger. "Friend Like Me" was the first sequence to be animated, and the early design can be glimpsed at a few points. However, certain shots of Al were *still* reanimed where his early design was even more noticeable.

Day #92: Tony the Tiger--with Tony, Jr. and Antoinette (1984)

Good morning! Happy Monday! Since it’s warming up outside, it is the perfect time to focus on Disney Popsicles this week. Let’s start with a classic 1950s Donald Duck ducky dubble! Looks good!

Saw Tinkerbelle’s flight from the castle while riding The Peoplemover. I think this is my first time seeing her from here!

I miss that time in the 70's and 80's where Brer Bear was just one of the gang with Mickey and the others.

Cap'n Crunch's Mystery Volcano Crunch (2000-2000): This limited-time, volcano-themed cereal consisted of what were essentially just red, yellow, and orange Crunchberries pieces, but also included a packet of Pop Rocks candy (aka "lava rocks") that would pop when added to the cereal and milk.

Japanese cover art for #TheBraveLittleToaster book by Thomas M. Disch. Always interesting to see an interpretation of the original, non-animated characters!
