Star Wars Fans Work together to Create Star Wars: Episode IV Uncut

starwars uncut 300x202 Star Wars Fans Work together to Create Star Wars: Episode IV Uncut

In 2009, Casey Pugh asked thousands of Internet users to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your streaming pleasure. The “Director’s Cut” is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

So grab some popcorn and sit back and enjoy the Awesomeness!

While a must for us on every Disney World Vacation I imagine there is probably a few new Disney Addicts that have not tried the Tonga Toast at the Kona Cafe. If you have never heard of Tonga Toast check out a few of our past articles to get you up to speed.

In the video below Chef Lawrence Searl from Disney’s Kona Cafe shows you how to make this delicious breakfast treat at home.

Oh and before you mention it yes it is also available at Capt Cooks but I have found it is not as good!

DVD Review: “Timmy Time: Timmy Needs a Bath” Clean Fun For the Kiddies

TimmyNeedsABath October2011 pv DVD Review: Timmy Time: Timmy Needs a Bath Clean Fun For the Kiddies

What’s the DVD about?
Timmy Time follows a day in the life of barnyard preschoolers. With diverse animal characters along with a rich and colorful nursery school backdrop, Timmy and his friends learn life lessons that every preschooler needs to know. Whether fleeing bath time, becoming a walking collage, being bitten by the cleaning bug or engaging in a paint war, Timmy and his pals always bring joy, heart and a little silliness to any situation.

Timmy Time™ is part of Disney Channel’s Disney Junior programming for kids ages 2-7 and their families, which airs in more than 99 million U.S. homes. The show is created by Aardman Studios, the Academy Award®-winning creators of Wallace & Gromit™ and Shaun the Sheep™.

The lowdown…
Timmy, a cute little lamb, gets into all kinds of trouble but with the help of his teachers and furry friends he learns something along the way. If your’re not familiar with the stop-motion style of Wallace and Gromit you’re in for a treat. The animation/clay-mation is brilliant. The colors are vibrant and the work is amazing. It will leave you and your little ones amazed and entertained. The one drawback for me is also one of the charming points of the series. There is no dialog. The characters all make animal noises and although it caters to the very little (ages 2-5) it can get very repetitive. What makes this collection fun for the family is the story. Using limited dialog with vivid visuals and gestures your children should be able to pick up on some of the elementary lessons told in this collection: cleanliness, organization, responsibility and interaction with their peers. Something that most adults could stand a lesson or two on.

Extras…
As you might expect for a kiddie title it’s “short” on extra content. “Timmy’s Tune #2″ is a short music  video featuring the cast of his animal buddies and the “Shaun the Sheep” bonus episode “Supersize Timmy” is a nice bit of extra animation. The autoplay feature is also nice for parents and children who want to dive right in.

Bottom line…
The quality of storytelling and animation are it’s strong point. What’s not to like about these cute little creatures? If you can handle the kiddie “sheep talk” that this video would be a great addition to your family’s library and would be perfect for travel trips to keep your child visually entertained.
