#mini brands netflix

[iolaussharpe-24]

This reminds me of something....

On YouTube, I saw a Cartier ad with Lily Collins and she reminded me of something that had made me think of her in the past. But more so this time.

In the past, this exact same doll made me think of a certain Netflix series Lily stars in.

I can't stop making comparisons.

When I say that I want a Lily Collins Barbie doll, it's because Integrity Toys made me connect those dots and I can't afford a Poppy Parker.

If I could, I'd have this and the Miraculous Eiffel Tower playset to display her in.

But don't think that Lily Collins/Emily Cooper doesn't remind of Barbie too. She does. I'll prove it.

Also, Mini Brands Netflix has Emily in Paris minis.

I almost forgot the G1 Monster High Scaris Cafe playset. And the car.

Found a BarbieStyle fashion pack that's very reminiscent of an Emily in Paris outfit.

So apparently I never posted this mini comic based off my limited reading of the dbd comics from 3 months ago. I made it for the crossover prompt for the Obscure DC Character Bingo (yes, I like doing crossovers)

i dont know if u did this already...!

Btw hi <33 its me ander :3 giving wholesome asks sometimes ♡

What about an Madoka!reader and Wukong being homura type of relationship? I just wanna read your troughts (troughs? Trought? How is it spelled hellnmdmsj) about it :3

Can even do an mini story about it i dont mind <33

You can ignore this if you did it already :3

I LOVE MADOKA MAGICA!!!!🤩 I LOVE THE ANIME, MOVIE, AND SONGS!!!! AND IM EXCITED FOR THE SEQUEL!!!!!🤩🤩🥳🥳

(Lmk Wukong) Next to Mk, you are his Priority, his queen, his love, his reason to continue on. He wants nothing but to please you and protect you because you bought him a brand new view of life. He couldn't admire you enough to be in your presence, to take care of you. To have you with him forever. He doesn't care who he has to sacrifice or disregard as long as he has you and Mk. Everything in his little world was fine🥰

(HIB Wukong) Safety of his family is his top priority, both yours and the children. You're very powerful in your own right, but your husband would usually quickly and brutally take care of the threat. So you don't ever have to step in. Of course, you tried to argue with him about this, but he would distract you with his affection and make sure you don't have to do anything. In his private time, he'll make you forget about everything bad , and he will take good care of you and everything.

(MKR Wukong) He's cares very much about two things in his life Fruity and you, He spends all his private time with you. You became a source of genuine joy, and he would do anything for you to make you proud of him. His biggest fear was losing you to the world who made him so miserable, I mean, he almost lost fruity to the demon king, so imagine what would happen if he lost you. That would be terrifying because that would be like losing his mid and sanity. Everyone will suffer, it doesn't matter, friend or foe, he's gonna burn the realms to the ground, just like he did to heaven.

(NR Wukong) His obsession with you makes everyone look concerned. You are his first and only love, and he would do anything for you. I really think he would fall into madness if he lost you somehow either in death or to someone else, the Scarier part is what he is willing to do to get you back even if it's gonna turn him into a monster. Just as long as he got you back, all is right with your little worlds.

(Netflix Wukong) He would break bones and cry blood for you. Your approval is his number one priority and goal, and his insecurities would kinda be his downfall because of that. Wukong would do anything to protect and have you by his side, which is why the quest for immortality was very important. So he can spend the rest of his existence with you, and nothing gonna matter. Nobody's gonna matter.

Cinemablend interviewed Shannon Tindle (Netflix Animation "Ultraman: Rising") and John Aoshima (Netflix Animation "Ultraman: Rising", "Gravity Falls") on their new film Ultraman: Rising for the FYC season for Best Animated Film in the upcoming Award Ceremonies. (Golden Globes, Oscars, BAFTA, Annie Awards)

During the interview Tindle revealed that he still hopes to make his Haunted Mansion mini-series someday.

"I'm a huge fan. I love Mark Davis. I love his work and his transition from one of the Nine Old Men in animation to working at WED. So yeah, it was one of those things where I was on an overall at Disney and I said, 'I've got an idea for Haunted Mansion.' And so we developed it first as an ongoing series, then we pivoted and said, what if we did it as a mini-series? The teaser is out there somewhere. The teaser is out there. I would love to make it." "And I will say this one idea that I had for it was you go to all these wild, haunted locations, and I went to a parking lot at a mall, and you see these ghostly lights come through the fog. And the little girl, who's the main character, is like, 'Oh my gosh, what kind of spirit am I going to encounter here?' And it's Herbie the Love Bug, and that was my explanation for Herbie, is Herbie’s haunted. Lou Romano did great paintings for it, and so like that just gives you an idea. I wanted to pull in. I was like ‘Disney has all these great characters, let's use them.’ But you know, it was not to be. Hey, maybe, they'll come back to the table with that. I'd love to do it." --- Tindle

ICYMI: Haunted Mansion was sadly passed by the same executive change at leadership at Disney Branded Television Animation at 2015 which axed Disney Junior’s The World According To Winnie The Pooh by Cartoon Saloon, Disney XD’s Very Important House created by Jenny Goldberg and Jhonen Vásquez, Pinchy and Ponchy created by Ghostshrimp, Douglas Furs created by Jesse LeDoux and Matt Olsen and a pitch by Thurop Van Orman however the latter would by revived at Disney TVA development on 2023.

In Januaray 2014, it was announced that Yoonah would debut in Angelico's first-ever girl group, Emphasis.

𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟒 - 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟕: 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬, 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬.

Emphasis would have their first and final comeback with their second mini album, EMPATHSIS, promoting the title tracks"Love Bomb" and "Wee Woo!" before falling into a year of inactivity.

On May 24, 2016, Emphasis was officially disbanded. Angelico Entertainment announced that Yoonah would be staying with the label.

Following Emphasis's disbandment, Yoonah would return to training and join Angelico's pre-debut team, "Angellies." The group would rotate trainees and perform around South Korea. The team would operate on a ranking system voted on by the fans they would garner from their performances and live streams.

The pair never confirmed their relationship.

Do you think we will get something like Fionna and Cake with Disney TVA? Alex Hirsch has been interested on making a Ford and Stan mini-series for Young Adults

I think the main problem is that we need to accept that Disney TVA will NEVER be allowed do something like Fionna and Cake, Gravity Falls sadly is a full Disney Branded Television IP than a Marvel Studios IP with X-Men 97

Disney Branded Television wants their reboots/revivals to be for all ages hence why Disney TVA reboots are from IPs that has kids as part of the core cast.

Another point not related to Gravity Falls but plays a huge part on it is the Gargoyles franchise who was Disney's first venture in to YA serialized animation, that property hasn't been touched by Disney TVA on ages despite the current heads at the studio and original creator being interested on a revival ala X-Men 97 because the Disney Branded Television excs think it lacks "a child entry view" so they opted for comics and a live action series as a way to compete with the Netflix "Avatar: The Last Airbender" live action show.

Not related to animation but look how Disney Branded Television axed the Lizzie McGuire revival for Disney+ beacuse they felt it was "too adult".

Interview with Style Magazine (2024)

British actor Jonathan Bailey became a hot commodity after the smash success of Netflix romance drama Bridgerton, the early 19th-century Regency-era series that catapulted him and his fellow cast members from obscurity into household names when it debuted in 2020.

While most people know him as his character Lord Anthony, aka Viscount Bridgerton, it’s his role in American drama series Fellow Travelers that cemented his status as a bona fide leading man and truly revealed his acting chops.

Bailey’s searing portrayal of a gay activist alongside Matt Bomer in the Showtime series has won Bailey a Critics’ Choice Award and plenty of accolades, from the LGBTQ+ community – Bailey is openly gay – and beyond.

Spanning almost five decades, from the Lavender Scare and McCarthyism of the 50s to the heartbreaking Aids crisis of the 80s, shown through the lives of two male lovers, the mini series is a beautiful love story as well as a remarkable history lesson. (The Lavender Scare was a mass dismissal of homosexuals from government institutions that paralleled the anti-communist campaign of senator Joseph McCarthy.)

Bailey, who is getting ready to embark on the promotional tour of Bridgerton season three, which debuts in May and June in two parts, was recently in Shanghai for the opening of “Crafted World”, an exhibition held by Spanish luxury label Loewe to showcase its history and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of creative director Jonathan Anderson, a fellow Brit and friend of Bailey’s.

On the night of the opening event, after Anderson gave Bailey a tour of the exhibition, we managed to grab the actor for a very quick chat.

Clad in a striped nautical jumper paired with army green trousers and paint-splattered shoes, all from Loewe, Bailey was extremely friendly and excited to share this moment with Anderson and the Loewe family.

Tell me about this trip to China.

It’s my first time here and I’m really upset to leave so soon. I managed to tour Shanghai today and you can just feel inspired being in the city.

What did you like the most about the exhibition?

Jonathan [Anderson]’s eye for collaboration is just next level. I’ve known him for a while and going back to see all his outfits in one room is like a montage of the last 10 years. My first Loewe show was in 2022, and I think his humble approach to understanding craft and collaboration, as well as what it really means to make something with your hands in a very fundamental way, is something that he stays true to. This adds a very special, celebratory and nourishing quality within Loewe as a brand.

Finally, how did it feel to work on a project like Fellow Travelers?

It’s something I’ll be eternally proud of. It’s such an important story; I learned so much. You sort of feel guilty and ashamed that you don’t know about that history. Then you remember that it’s been left out of the history books and, if you can through your work, you can shine a light on stories that haven’t been told and mean so much to so many people.

Hiiiii. I saw your responses on another users asks about Lalaloopsy lore and would LOVE to talk Lalaloopsies with you. Please info dump to me 🙏

I want to hear it all (if that’s okay with you obvi)

On it! Under a cut cuz it's so long

So Lalaloopsy was originally created in about 2009 as Bitty Buttons, but the same had some copyright disputes so it was changed about about 12 dolls? The original 8 and the four succeeding them have very rare versions with this packaging.

Dolls were released in waves of about eight every season or so, outside of limited editions and such.

Initially, the canon was limited to the descriptions on the backs of the boxes, some books, and a few web and DS games, before the first animated universe came about, consisting of web shorts and a movie.

Eventually Nick Jr. picked up the franchise for six more movies, more shorts, and a two season TV series. Like all of the VAs for the franchise were nobodies except in the Lalaloopsy Girls movie for some reason.

Then the Nick show caused a lawsuit since the company behind Lalaloopsy (MGA) didn't pay as much for it as they said it would, which I assume didn't help with the steady decline of the brand (cheaper dolls, less creative ideas, etc), before Netflix picked it up for a show.

The Netflix show sorta bombed, they only made five dolls and some minis and I don't think anyone really cared outside of existing fans, a lot of which were turned off by the more realistic direction taken for the dolls and changes to the story, with fan favorite characters being omitted such as Peanut and Cloud E.

Lalaloopsy sort of died after the Netflix show until the 10th anniversary re-released in 2021ish, old and new dolls just like the old ones coming out and old songs and movies getting YouTube uploads. Nothing's really happened since but hey.

Fun facts: the series was racist a lot, I think they've been getting better but c'mon, Mittens, Mango, Sahara, Yuki, Feather, the fact that Dot was the darkest character and got like no merchandise, the whitewashing of Cinder, I think they've been rectifying some of these things lately thankfully.

They've tried to ride the coattails of mlp (ponies) and monster and ever after high (girls) to eh results

The Babies Diaper and Potty Surprise dolls probably foreshadowed the oddly scatalogical direction MGA has taken in recent years

Like everyone is neurodivergent coded in the Netflix series

People thought Suzette La Sweet and Crumpet Hearts were getting married in the Sew Royal Tea Party bundle

I think Rosy's design had to get changed because of violating Red Cross guidelines at some point

For some reason Bundles is shown with a pacifier a lot even though she's never come with one outside of a mini, same with Rosy's hat and Misty's gloves

(My dad used to put my dolls up in trees and it made me sad, that's neither fun nor a fact but)

[brf-rumortrackinganon]

So Netflix released the viewing figures for 2023 and all the non-royal sussex projects were complete flops (we already knew). But even their mini serie was not as successfull as initially thought ( the Beckhams did much much better).

So what I don't get is why are some Hollywood execs still giving them their time. They were invited at the Marley Jamaican premiere by Paramount and were later seen dining with the boss and his wife, Brian and Tracy Robbins, on their wedding anniversary weeks later. Why would anyone entertain them when a spotify exec publicly called them grifters and their Netflix deal is obviously not performing well? I know they will never face a hard public humiliation, but it's still frustrating to see them getting attention from well established brand or professional.

Paramount cozied up to them for the Marley premiere to get press.

Netflix still has a contract with them. While nothing has been verified, all signs point to the deal being a 4 or 5 year contract, which would end in 2024 or 2025. So they're probably just playing it out.

(And also, what's going on with that Meet Me at the Lake production? That's been completely silent.)

Not sure why the Paramount execs took the Sussexes out for their anniversary. Maybe there's some kind of schmoozing going on. Are the Sussexes lovebombing Paramount to be their new platform after Netflix ends? Is Paramount...I don't know what Paramount could want from them.

(Also Paramount is the parent company for CBS, which is where ex-besties Gayle and Oprah are so there's probably something there. Also, perhaps interesting, Paramount is also the parent company of BET Entertainment...I don't think Meghan is angling for that one, though.)

I wouldn't get too worked up about them getting attention from brands and companies like that because at the end of the day, it's the Sussexes trying to extend their 60 minutes of fame and just wait until Kate comes back to work. They'll be dropped like a hot potato.

And also at the end of the day, grifters are gonna grift a CEO right out of their fortune. We don't need to feel sorry for them. Let's just sit back and watch the show.

And here’s the bio for what made Jimin’s FACE documentary:

A Samsung phone + a mini tripod 😂

[iolaussharpe-24]

Found this while price checking dolls and searching for alternate outfits.

I do intend to do this doll eventually, and I want to go above and beyond when I do. With a room and everything.

I have/have seen mini furniture pieces that would be perfect. Tiny shelves and chairs and things.

I have a bunch of G1 Monster High parts that would work. In fact, the entire Catacombs set might actually be a good little dollhouse. Wouldn't have to build anything big then. A couple of the G1 pets would be nice too. Lagoona's piranha,Venus's venus fly trap, and Clawdeen's cat for example.

Ever After High and Descendants might have useful pieces too. Raven Queen has a good aesthetic and Mal might have an accessory or two. The spell book is an obvious one.

Mini Brands and Mini Brands Create would be very helpful too. The mini books have Goosebumps and Vampire Diaries and Miss Peregrine. And the garden ones looked like they had cacti.

Plus, My Froggy Stuff has a bunch of printable books I want to make. Those would be good. And if I do end up building a room or set from scratch, they have plenty of tutorials and ideas I can work with.

A project I really want to do.

My Froggy Stuff on YouTube made a Wednesday Addams inspired Barbie doll, and I am obsessed with it. (Yes; I am currently rewatching Wednesday as I am writing this.)

She used a curvy fashionista's head (number 188, in fact) for this project, and my only gripe is that she has a regular Made to Move body and not a petite one. (To be fair, I'm bad with timelines, so the appropriate petite Barbie Looks dolls might not have been out.) Honestly, I think it only bugs me because I know that Jenna Ortega is a small person.

If I could make my own doll, I'd use these (try to use them is more accurate, I'm not entirely sure if the colors match or not.)

As far as outfits go, there are options, even if they on the cheap side.

So... yea.

Official Dreamworks Digital SPOP Releases

I put a bunch of these in other posts I've posted before or things I queued up to post later when i was archiving everything form the Twitter account but since we were talking about this I might as well collect them all in one post...

The She-Ra Page on the Dreamworks activity center links to many (some of the links are broken) of the official digital merch they made.

There are Zoom backgrounds, watch along bingo cards, recipies, and some printable paper craft things like the mini-figs from Roll With It, the She-Ra Sword, and the valentines (which also include a papercraft model of Bow's arrow).

The She-Ra virtual reality room which is kinda boring but props to them for trying, I guess.

For use with VR set ups, obvs, but you can view it in a browser as well.

Want something really random? Scholastic had a math handout they did as part of their newsletter for schools featuring Marcus Scribner as Bow. Brand synergy is a mysterious thing.

The text version is here if you prefer to read

Lastly, there was a handout on how to read First Ones language also done by Scholastic to cross promote the books...

There was also a paper hand out they had at the Scholastic booth at cons and I actually own that but I don't have time to find / scan it at the moment.

There was an official She-Ra Instagram filter (beloved of my children) which is alas no more but you can see their IG story about it here (assuming that link works?)

And, of course, there is the sticker app which is still available in an app store near you and I uploaded most of the stickers from it to Tumblr a while ago as well.

Lastly, a lot more of the printable crafts they did can be found on @dreamworksshera which is the official tumblr of the show. There's a pattern to make Bow's shirt, Spinnerella themed pinwheels, a Sea Hawk flag, Netossa net and Mermista smoothie that I remember off the top of my head. Unfortunately, whoever ran that account did not understand tagging at all so they are very hard to find but such is life!

My Experience with Lego Friends

So way back in 2011, when I was but a wee 8ish year old, my mother and I were walking through the Walmart toy aisle. We moved through the girls section and saw this:

And my mom screamed. No Joke. An employee came over to ask what was wrong and she yelled. "There's Lego's for girls!!!"

That was my first introduction to the franchise/Lego theme. Now I was just as excited as her. Before Friends, I only had one Lego set that Mom had to search extensively for because there weren't really any proper sets for little girls.

So she bought me Lego Friends.

And more Friends.

As a budding Lego lover, I built them. I watched the corresponding TV shows on Netflix. I talked about them with my friends. I received a bunch of sets on my Birthday and Christmas.

A few years later, Lego started to release Disney Princess sets and Lego Elves. While I never got into Elves while they were released (something I regret now that I'm older), I watched the mini movie and series that were released on Netflix.

And then in 2018, Lego rebranded Friends for the first time.

Originally in 2012, Lego Friends advertised a young group of highschool girls and their subsequent adventures in their hometown of HeartLake City. This is what the lineup looked like:

(From Left to right: Emma, Stephanie, Olivia, Andrea, & Mia

Four white girls and one African American, and an extremely light skinned one.

And the "new" line-up in 2018:

(From Left to Right: Andrea, Mia, Emma, Stephanie, & Olivia)

One Asian, one one Hispanic, one African American (dark-skinned not light), and two whites.

Now my 12 year old brain was mad about the changes, especially since American Girl (another toy brand I loved) had rebranded one of there lines and honestly, butchered the best parts about the line.

But after someone told me it was wonderful that they were being more inclusive, and after I looked at some of the sets, I came around.

So I continued to collect the sets. I watched the corresponding show on Netflix.

Then January 2023 rolls up, I innocently stroll down the toy aisle at target and see

"What the hell is this? What's wrong with the logo?" (<- Actual thought from my brain)

After a quick scope around the Friends section, I figure out it's another rebrand. Now, I'm on the fence, holding out judgement.

A few months pass, I see a few new Lego models. A boy in a wheelchair, a girl with half an arm, a girl with Vitiligo. I'm starting to feel hopeful about the rebrand.

However, the core 5 girl squad don't seem to appear as much. So finally, I turn to google like a normal person. And find out that they got rid of the core 5 girl squad and that there's a "New Generation of Friends".

...

Yeah, that ticked me off. The girl squad was my favorite part of the Friends brand.

So after finding this out, I go on a mini-boycott, because apparently, I am still a petulant child when it comes to Legos.

And then around September, I tread into the Lego section of a store for the first time in a while.

And spot a set that has the cutest animal in it. The familiar longing itch to buy a new set returns. My mom approaches me, and we start talking about the rebranded sets. She points out a couple sets with cool architecture.

And I let myself enjoy window shopping for Legos again.

Fast forward to Christmas, I get a set titled HeartLake City Community Center. I haven't built it yet, but I'm looking at the box \/,

Wait a minute, who's that in the corner? Is that who I think it is?

IT IS!!!!!! IT'S STEPHANIE!!!!! AND SHE'S THE MAYOR. HAJKSHJKDHKJLSAS

So I make a red string/conspiracy board theory, that this 2nd rebrand of Legos is *literally* the next generation of Friends. Like, the core 5 grew up and these are all the new kids that live in the city.

I bring this up to my parents, and Mom's thinks it's an awesome theory since it's been a decade. The girls should be allowed to grow up and have adult lives.

I don't think much more about it until I'm browsing the Lego store this afternoon for Lego Monkie Kid Sets, and come across a new set titled Andrea's Modern Mansion. Of course I click on it.

Wait, what's that in the middle?

Are those pictures?

THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephanie and Mia graduating! Family portrait! Andrea with her baby! Olivia and Emma!

That's it. The rebrand has won me over. I love seeing all this later in life core 5.

Stephanie's the Mayor, like her idol from the original show. Andrea's a singer, has won some awards, is married, and has a child.

I can't wait to see what they do with the other girls.

Also, look at the reunion!

They're doing karaoke! I can't take it.
