The Kin

I found this on Pinterest today and proceeded to start drooling. I mean, don't get me wrong, I knew they were yummy (if I can even say that, considering most of them are barely legal in modern terms), but woah... They managed to make Peter Pan a hottie... *coughs* So, which of the Disney men makes your heart thud? I'm a big fan of Eric, personally.. Why, yes, The Little Mermaid IS my favorite Disney movie EVER! Why do you ask?

I've been doing some digging, thinking surely someone who jumped on the Epic Mickey bandwagon had done a "history of Mickey" that included those images, but alas, I haven't found much outside of this article: The History of Mickey Mouse. I have to admit that the Mouse is not my favorite part of the Disney franchise. Perhaps I worked at Universal-run Six Flags FAR too much in my youth, but I prefer a rabbit and a duck fighting with a hunter over which season it is, honestly. Mickey Mouse never really appealed to me outside of my singing Mickey Mouse watch from the early 90's. However, you have to be impressed with his legacy. He's the Energizer Bunny of the film indus…

Ok, so - in my mad rush to find pictures of Disney villains, I stumbled across a few cross-over pics that are kinda funny. I'll only post a few to give you an idea. After that, it's up to you. Fair warning if you're going to participate in this thread: put on your PG-13 search filter. What was seen cannot be unseen. :( Which Disney Villains (and/or heroes) would be great together? To begin, I give you Maleficent and her many suitors. This actually makes a lot of sense. Merlin certainly had a thing for stone-cold witches.

That's right, ladies and gents! It's time to celebrate the best part of any story! The good guy always gets the girl, but they'd be hopelessly girl-less without these, the most awesome villains EVER! These folks set the bar for the bad guys in every book, movie and TV show on the planet! So, let's celebrate them! Which is your favorite Disney Villain? And then look at these awesome graphics for the villains! <--- Heroines dressed up the Villains! MUG SHOTS!

Let's see who knows their Disney music! No cheating and checking the answers! http://youtu.be/5am2cW2-9_4 You can play another version of this game here, too! Just type in the answer! How many did you get right?

This is such a broad reaching topic that I had to visit my friend "Wikipedia" for a decent list. Here's their link. The music is such a big part of what makes a Disney movie what it is, no matter whether it's a cartoon or a live action movie! I, myself, have Lemonade Mouth in my CD player in my truck because Peanut is addicted to it (and I admit, I know every word to every song and have no problem singing along!). My favorite is this one from, of course, The Little Mermaid (yes, I have that album, too! :P) http://youtu.be/tXmLRHnoSAs So, what about you?

So, we've talked about everyone else! Let's look at the lovely dames of Disney! I'll be honest, I can't FIND a picture of all of them! So, let's turn this thread into a "who's your favorite/find as many pics as you can" thread! LOL So, who IS your favorite Princess???

May is always one of my favorite months around the Kin! This month, I HAVE HELP!!! hehehehehe So, here's the business stuff: May Sign In May Sign in Chatter

I thought this might be fun! Let's talk about how Disney launches a life-long career for it's kids! Whether it's the Mickey Mouse Club or one of the new set of sitcoms aimed at tweens, we've seen careers explode from Disney. Because I was raised on watching vintage things (and that was in the 80's, so Vintage at the time was 50-60's), I am very familiar with Annette Funicello (who just passed away recently. ::( ) and the string of movies she did with Frankie Avalon well after retiring their mouse ears: And we can blame the MMC for these folks filling the gossip columns... I trust you'll know who they are: This is the crew I was watc…

HAPPY MAY! Chatter away!

It amazed me, when I went searching to start this collection of activities, how many movies Disney has had their hands in that aren't animated! I found this handy link with references (some of them aren't released yet or are things they have in the works. We'll have another thread about those!) which will be handy for this chat! Go on, take a look! So, which LIVE ACTION movie was your favorite??

Check in while we count down the Top Villain Countdown! (disclaimer, I found this online and thought it was awesome, so I'll be posting one every day!) May 1: 30. Commodore Barbossa Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) Actor: Geoffrey Rush The only live action villain to make this Top 30, Barbossa inspires fear as the not-quite-living antagonist of last year's wildly popular adaptation of the famous Disneyland attraction. All of the elements of Pirates somehow fit into a comfortable place between fresh and formula, and that certainly includes this memorable chara…

For as long as people have lived together, they have told stories. These stories have been different, telling different tales and fulfilling different purposes. However, there have also been many things similar about them. This month in the Aiel, we are exploring legends/stories/myths. We are focusing on a few different cultures, discussing the role of stories throughout time, and thinking about their role in our world today. We also have some fun games! All are welcome to join us in the Three-Fold Land as we celebrate Aiel Culture Fair: Legends. I hope to see you there! Aiel Heart Car'a'carn

Try your hand at these: Can you name the missing word in these sentences. Early Disney Live Action movies- These are mostly from the 1960's. Anyone find any others??

So, while I was doing some searching I ran across a list of movies that will be coming in the next year or so. Check these out: The Lone Ranger- Johnny Depp/Armie Hammer- July 3, 2013 Maleficent- Angelina Jolie Pitt- July 2014 Tomorrowland- George Clooney/Hugh Laury- December 2014 Star Wars Episode VII- 2015 Pirates of the Carribean 5- 2015 There are quite a few more, but I figured we could do a lot of talking about these five! hehehehehe Where do you want to start? Maleficent? OK! What do you think? Can Angelina pull it off?

Because the best part of a great character is how they inspire you to awesomeness! Feel free to add your own (keep it PG13, though! Some of the things I've seen searching... WHEW!) Something tells me Triton could've been talked into a compromise...

HAPPY APRIL, EVERYONE! :) This month, for the sign in, I want you to find a picture that represents SPRING to you (or, you know, just say "hi," I'm ok with that, too!). REMEMBER: ONLY POST ONCE IN THIS THREAD! I USE THIS FOR OUR MONTHLY ACTIVITY COUNT AND NEED THE THREAD TO BE ACCURATELY COUNTED! :) Gracias!

C'mon, let's see... who knows their Villains?? See if you can name the villain by their final words! Name the Villain by the movie! Shooting Game! Ok, you're shooting with something other than a gun, but hit the villain and you get points! Trivia! (Easy Trivia...)

HAPPY MAY, EVERYONE!!! Summer is here! Well, at least it is in South Georgia! :) What's up for you this month??

Seriously, awesome... Check out some more Disney Inspired Fashion here! Did you find some, too?!?!

I was getting bored so I made some Kin siggies. Blue Sash- Green Sash- Purple Sash- Red Sash- Specials- You have to ask for it. These will be random siggies made for you. I can add your name to any saiggy you want.

So I'm currently sitting at the airport waiting to go through security, but in a few hours I'll be flying out though I have to go to Charlotte then to Orlando and then to Atlanta seems dumb to e but ohwell...

As promised a new thread for this The Plan To make a group quilt from patches from all the Kins members and maybe some other DM people if they are keen How we do it 1. We all send a set number of squares to someone who sews them all and posts a picture (cost low, involvement low [except for the seamstress]) 2. We start with one person who gets a line to do. They sew them together then mail it to the next person. That person then does the same and so on. (cost medium [depending on the number of people involved], involvement high, + we can sneak in presents and stuff ) 3. ??? So any thoughts or plans Sign ups 1. Dap 2. Ryrin 3. Lor
