Why I love Pixar

So since last night I mentioned Pixar and then completely left the conversation... I thought I'd use that as a topic today!

I've loved Pixar since Toy Story first came out! I remember seeing it in theaters with my dad and my sister... and I believe her best friend at the time. This sticks out in my memory so much as an adult because my dad does not really like going to the movies... so its kind of funny that he'll only see cartoons. But it also makes sense that he took me to see the first Pixar movie because my dad is really into technology and at the time Steve Jobs was the CEO and my dad has always  pretty much liked apple products... so I can see why he likes Pixar so much!

And I have to say... I like Pixar better than Disney. Monsters Inc is my favorite Disney/Pixar movie of all time and, while there are some Disney movies I feel too old to see in theaters... I feel like I'll always see Pixar movies.

Also on top of that... there really aren't any bad Pixar movies! I haven't seen all of Cars 2 because that is pretty unwatchable... and I didn't really love Brave and Monster's University was a little bit of a let down... also not the biggest fan of Finding Dory... but these movies are all still really really good! Compared to all other cartoons out there, there is just something different about these movies that makes them a little better. They are written better, and their animation is so innovative that really it is art to me. Like looking at the videos and photos I've seen of Cars Land in Disney California Adventure especially... The people that make these movies are definitely artists. And if Disney were to do a whole Pixar Land... I think that would just be the most magical place!

I'm going to mention the Pixar Theory too because why not. I don't really think it was intended that they were all planned to connect together... but I think that they kind of unintentionally are... and part of me thinks that's because of The Pixar Lunch. Which is when 4 of the people at Pixar all met for a lunch and ended up with the ideas for 4 movies! A Bugs Life, Monster's Inc, Finding Nemo and Wall E. I feel like you can kind of see a connection there. Bugs are kind of like Monsters. Fish are often referred to as Aliens of The Deep. It makes sense that they went with bugs, monsters, fish and robots all together. And in that way, plus the fact that most of the same creative minds are behind all of these movies... you're going to see some connections. That is for sure!

And I think that they love that this is what their fans think of their movies. They kind of look for ways to hide easter eggs and things now because they know we're looking for it. They've even added an Easter Egg of hiding references to Braveheart so that we connect their movies to Braveheart. Its so funny and just well done. `

And that is everything! I will have 2 more posts coming up today!

Byeee!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
