Toys Story and the Etch A Sketch

Since I talked about Wall-E recently, I suppose I should talk about possibly the best animated movie ever made, and that is Toy Story. Steph says that it is her favorite movie. I am inclined to agree. It is wonderful on every level. Our whole family is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Toy Story 3, in 3-D! One of the funny scenes in the movie is where all of the toys are trying to figure out who stole Woody. Etch, the Etch A Sketch, is indespensible, drawing and redrawing the alleged thief.

We sell the classic Etch A Sketch over at Town Square Toys. I mentioned it in our other blog which focuses on the toys themselves. Check out that article here and then check out an Etch A Sketch for yourself.

If you want more information about Toy Story, you can check it out at The Internet Movie Database. It stars Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Don Rickles, Jim Varney, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Annie Potts, Laurie Metcalf, and R. Lee Ermey.

Wall-E and Rubik's Cube

Okay, I will have to admit it: I have not seen Wall-E yet. I don't know why! I love Pixar and Disney and their collaborations. Everyone in my family has seen it; I don't know how I missed out on it. Alas, I have not seen it. Will I? More than likely. I hear that it is a cute story and a cautionary tale as well. Some of the draw for me is, of course, the little Wall-E robot. He reminds me of Number 5 from Short Circuit. Do you remember that film?


Anyway, you probably noticed in the movie that Wall-E plays with an old Rubik's Cube. We just happen to sell the Rubik's Cube at Town Square Toys. We also sell the Rubik's Twist. Growing up, we called it the Snake, but now it is called the Twist. If you are struggling to find the solution to the cube, you can also get the "how to" DVD, which will show you how to solve this perplexing puzzle.

The Game Plan and Corolle

Amy told me that she was watching The Game Plan, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and saw one of the Les Cheries dolls by Corolle! The doll's name is Camille. In one scene, her clothes get bedazzled. In another scene, she gets a new princess dress that is picked out by one of the football players. I have to admit that I have not seen the movie, but I did hear good things about The Rock.

Anyway, we sell the Corolle Dolls over at Town Square Toys. We have Camille and many others. You should check them out. They are truly beautiful dolls that a daughter or niece would get hours and hours of enjoyment from. Maybe you would like one of your own as well?
