I just saw this in my News Feed on Facebook. This almost never happens for one of the newer Disney films! For a limited time, and in honor of Black History Month, Amazon is offering the soundtrack to Disney’s “The Princess & The Frog” for only $5 !!! This is for the MP3 download version of the soundtrack album. Not sure how long this is good for, so if you want it, go get...
© Copyright 2010 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Disney characters are always shape-shifting and morphing into and out of the human form. Take Prince Naveen, for instance. He’s a frog trying to get back into his prince’s body by kissing a girl, but ends up turning her into a frog, too. They have a terrible time trying to get back to their old selves. Then there’s Prince Adam, aka “The Beast” – he angered a beggar...
Lenore Skenazy: Disney and fairy tales parting ways – SGVTribune.com OK, Whose bright idea was it to hose down the world with a good, lethal dose of Princess-B-Gone? I think the reason “The Princess And The Frog” didn’t do well is because Disney shied away from truly marketing it in an all-out way. After a few people lobbed accusations of race insensitivity their way, they kept it kind of low key. That was pretty...
© Copyright 2010 Tink *~*~* http://MyMobileAdventures.com Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter have worked together on some strange films – Sweeney Todd, The Corpse Bride and recently, Disney’s update to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Alice in Wonderland. It’s not surprising that they’ve frequently worked together. Just as Johnny Depp has been making his career out of playing idiosyncratic characters, Helena Bonham Carter seems to be making a career out of playing mean girls. Her ongoing...

I was reading Billboard on Facebook and there was an article about Reese Witherspoon getting ready to play the title role in a new biographical film about the life of Peggy Lee. Betwixt and between the claims that Witherspoon will either tank or win an Oscar, someone asked, “Who is Peggy Lee?” *collective gasp is heard amongst the online Disney community* Quickly, a few of us...
This week’s episode of the popular NPR (National Public Radio) show This American Life is rife with references to Disney. Promised Land | This American Life PROLOGUE Host Ira Glass expounds upon the phenomenon of the “I wish” song, an essential component of Disney musicals. The “I wish” song tells us who the character is and what s/he wants, and frequently also sets up the conflict that is somehow resolved during the “happily ever...

With the exception of my “Mornings aren’t magical” coffee mug, I am generally a devotee of the original shot-glass sized Tink from the original 1953 classic film Peter Pan. Whenever I’ve purchased Tinkabilia, which has been frequent as you can imagine, I’ve stuck with classic Tink, whose magical...
