LOOK at that girl enjoying her interaction with my boy Snagglepuss... this is what being a theme park character is all about.

Released in select cities on June 15 1994. Definitely one of my Top 5 movies of all time and a big part of my life in many ways! Timon will always be my favorite from that film.
I will be premiering "The Mane Event Bloopers and Extras" on Youtube at the end of this week.

I made this cartoon for the 25th anniversary of TLK.

Don't forget May 20 is PAW DAY here on FA!

Den of DOOM!
I just stumbled upon this outrageous British kids game show from 2007... https://youtu.be/rbrtYNcb8So?si=fXIjtVTWinPvNzcB
Two raunchy hyenas host a game show in which they threaten to EAT the losing contestants! I believe it only lasted one season.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this show.

Check out this Macy's Thanksgiving day parade from 40 years ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQDi_1wlQ_M
So many delightful old costume characters, maybe some you have never seen before. And look for my boy Snagglepuss!
I wonder if that is Rapid T. Rabbit in one of those care bears?
Part 2 : https://youtu.be/IWhYO9fTrtI?si=A4vW4kkGxhOwlK0c

I bought these at a trade show 10 years ago from a company in Canada. I think they are out of production. They are truly life size. Look at the pix. I have a brown one and a white one. I really love them but I must make room. Any one want to make an offer before I put them on ebay? I think shipping would not be feasable so local pick up in Central Florida OR.... in Oct I will be taking a trip up I95 to New jersey so I could drop them off if you are along the way.

I have some smaller ones as well. Please spread the word. Thanks!

I would love to find some info on this Mickey plush: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/48848815/
and find out if it has any value.
Anybody know any Disney / plush collectors? Are forums still a thing on the internet? No, I don't do facebook.

Classic live action cartoon now on Youtube!

I had taped this on VHS 20 years ago and have been hoping it would appear on Youtube someday and now it has.
A documentary on those true pioneers of Saturday Morning TV and costume characters.
Some of these shows were a big inspiration to my delicate young mind.
If you are from the 70's this will bring back some memories. If not.... you in for a bizarre trip.

You will see Mark Evanier on here. He was GOH at Anthrocon 2007.

This video with 40 memes in one song was released on Youtube 10 years ago this month.

https://youtu.be/mghhLqu31cQ

How many of these memes from the "golden age" (?) of teh internetz do YOU remember?

We went camping and a cat came around the campsite so we gave him a shrimp. This was a bad idea as the cat kept coming back looking for more food. Late one night we shined a light on the picnic table and found him LICKING THE BUTTER. So ever since then any campground cat is automatically referred to as a buttercat. But did you know there are several different types of buttercats? I will be showcasing them over the next few weeks.

Opened Oct 1 1971.
And what is the best part of Disney World? The CHARACTERS!
Do you have any photos or stories about meeting the characters at WDW?
Do you remember the first one you met?
What Disney character would you love to BE just for a day?
What character would you LOVE to meet at WDW, even if you had to go back in time.

How 'bout that time I met my toon hero.... https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43953110/

I knew that the traditional Looney Tunes theme was based off an old song "The Merry Go Round Broke Down"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBgAHK36sx4

I think we all know that from watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"
But today I learned the traditional Merrie Melodies theme is also based off an old song, "Merrily We Roll Along"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUbl5yFBzoM

See? You CAN learn something from watching Saturday Morning cartoons!

Shout out to  Scurrow for showing me the "Animaniacs" theme is loosely based off an old polka song, "There's a Tavern In The Town"

Roger had a mishap at the toy factory.....

My head is spinning and my heart is thumping and my paws are a shufflin'!

Thanks to  WolvenWuff for pointing out it is the 100 year anniversary of the photo in the creepy ending of "The Shining" (1980)

I made my own version of this scene in 2015 :https://youtu.be/Meg4pfvA4hg

This was the year my German Shepherd Torg died.

The biggest project I took on during the lockdown was the revitalization of my back back yard and pond. That area had been neglected over the past 5 years and the pond had become slowly inundated with invasive weeds , grass and debris and had become a murky swampy marsh.
For years I had wanted to transform this area into a "Brer Fox Land". When you go back there I want you to feel like you are in Brer Fox's back yard. I want you to feel like you are in Eatonton , GA in 1905. I want you to feel like you just stepped into Song of the South. And with being at home for 4 months I was able to do it. I did more work during that time than I did in the last 10 years. And it was worth it because when I go back there I feel like I truly am THE REAL BRER FOX.
I call this place "Chickapin Park" (In the movie, Brer Fox lives on Chickapin Hill)
I will be posting photos over the next several weeks. I already posted one: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36122638/

Well it was about one year ago that we were all in full lockdown / quarantine / stay at home mode.
I did not have to go to work for 4 months so it gave me an opportunity to get some projects done around the house!
Over the next few weeks, I will be showing yall some of the things I did during that time. Every "Tilt Tuesday" that is.

March 4 was the 5 year anniversary of Zootopia! Did you know they made a sequel?

Zootopia 2: Judy's Revenge https://youtu.be/m5sQJxbt4nw

The guard dog from the body shop next door. You may have heard him barking in some of my videos, he even made a cameo in one!
He was old, so they put him down. I had known him since the day he was born. Aug 19 2009.
He really helped me by being there after Torg died. He was friendly with me so I could pet him thru the chain link fence. I regularly gave him snacks and treats on the weekends.
