So, These Things Happened This Week
Miss Piggy Receives Award
This past week, Miss Piggy accepted a First Award from the Elizabeth A. Sackler center for Feminist Art. She made a short acceptance speech at the Brooklyn Museum, along with Kermit the Frog. The Sackler Center said on its website that it was honoring "performer, actor, writer, and icon Miss Piggy, for more than 40 years of blazing feminist trails with determination and humor." She certainly deserves it! Way to go, Piggy!When the award was announced at the end of April, Miss Piggy was credited with saying "Moi is thrilled but frankly, not surprised to be receiving this Sackler Center First Award. It is truly wonderful to be celebrated and share this honor with fellow legends, role models and pioneers of female fabulosity."
Teaser for The Good Dinosaur
Disney-Pixar released the teaser trailer for The Good Dinosaur, a production troubled little film. The teaser doesn't really show much, hence teaser, and I'm not sure how excited we are, but it's a fun little trailer that shows us some of the visuals and the main idea behind the film - What if the dinosaurs didn't go extinct?
Tangled to Series
Disney Channel announced that Tangled will be coming to series. The series will include most of the original voice cast and Alan Menken and Glenn Slater returning to do songs. It's pretty darn awesome that the series will be from most of the original folks who made the film. The series will take place between the events of Tangled and Tangled Ever After.
Hot Toys releases images of Scarlet Witch
Hot Toys continues to produce the best collectible action figures around. Scarlet Witch is no exception. This beautifully sculpted figure captures the likeness perfectly and comes with a ton of accessories. Now we just need to see Quicksilver!
Yoda in Disney Infinity
An article from USA Today has an interview with Jeff Bunker, studio art director at Avalanche/Disney Interactive Studios and the man in charge of the distinct visual look of everything Infinity. Personally, I wish they had gone with more of the classic Yoda look. But we still can't wait to play with him in the toy Box!!!
