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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
