Day 1: Favorite Character

Nobody for sure knows the exact date when CP Applications will open, but based on previous years it should be a month (or less!) away. So what better way to pass the time than with the 30 Day Disney Challenge? Credit goes to Riley, since I gleaned this from her tumblr. I don't know if she made it up or not, but it's a nice find!

DAY 1: Favorite Character

 Okay, this is probably partly due to having seen Toy Story 3, but Woody has to be one of the best Disney (Pixar) characters of all time.

Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what. 

Honorable Mentions:

Mickey Mouse (of course!)

Todd (Fox and the Hound)

Simba (Lion King)

Mulan (Mulan)

The Ending of a Saga (NO SPOILERS)

Since Toy Story 3 is so recent, and many people probably haven't gotten a chance to see it yet, I'll make sure there are NO SPOILERS in this post. So never fear!

Not that I would or could expect anything less from Pixar, but the movie was really really great. Woody, Buzz, and all the favorites are back with a huge host of new characters. The storyline is a little bit more intricate than in previous films, but even the backstories of various characters all ties in to a general theme. It was previewed a bit in Jessie's tale from Toy Story 2. And as can be guessed from the trailers, the theme revolves around what happens to a toy when it's owner grows too old to play with toys. But regardless, Pixar still manages to make the movie a fun adventure with lots of humor for adults and kids.

The Toy Story series seems like Pixar's pet project, since it's what put them on the map more or less and it's the only movie they've done sequels for (though I have heard rumors of a Cars 2). So I'm sure it wasn't easy to finally end Toy Story, and honestly, it wasn't easy for me either! Those my age have really been on Andy's timeline for all these years. Toy Story came out in 1996 when I was 5. And now, over 10 years later, I'm a college student. I won't lie, I got teary at the end of Toy Story 3, because it was all so bittersweet.

On a lighter note, the short before the movie was very different. Definitely a favorite (second only to the chess playing old man, such a classic!).

Looklet meets Toy Story 3!

19 days until Toy Story 3 is released... flannel shirts and cowboy boots anyone?
