Shawn likes making it official



As you can see by the image above,
it is official that I AM now a member

Having a written document ALWAYS makes it true!


If you feel that you could be a Super Friend,
be sure to get your copy of Super Friends #2.

Shawn likes The Disney Channel - circa 1986




This is a Disney Channel Magazine from October 26 - December 6, 1986.


Back when this guide was published I didn't even have The Disney Channel, as I lived in such a rural place, we couldn't even get cable until the early 90's.


I found this magazine when I was working at a movie theater. After one of the movies I was clearing out the theater and someone had left this on their seat. Since they never came back for it, I kept it - as I was fascinated with The Disney Channel.




Okay - Let's go over what I want to watch:

Donald Duck Presents, The Mouse Factory, DTV, Walt Disney Presents, Mouseterpiece Theater, The Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Blackbeard's Ghost, The World's Greatest Athlete, The Making Of Disney's Captain EO, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, The Parent Trap, and Mary Poppins!

Whew! - I better get a 20 pack of VHS tapes!

Shawn likes refridgerator magnets



I bought these great looking refridgerator magnets when I was at Walt Disney World back in 1999. I really love the villains and think that both magnets look great!


Shawn likes great comic book covers


Action Comics #469
Just in case you can't read the dialogue -
Terra-Man: Doggone if you ain't the most rambunctious bronc I ever rode, Superman!
But I aim to break you! Wa-Hoo!

Shawn likes Disney Music



Growing up I had several Disney book and record sets
which included the songs from the various films.
Those LP's (in addition to 'The Wonderful World Of Disney' TV show),
are what started my great love of Disney and specifically Disney music.

This 78 song, 3 CD collection of Disney music,
"The Music Of Disney - A Legacy In Song"
was released in 1992, and without a doubt -
it is the 'Holy Grail' of my music collection.


Although The Little Mermaid and Beauty And The Beast
were on CD before this set was available -
this was the first chance I had to amass
a great amount of Disney music on CD.


I remember being at work and reading the the USA Today that this was available.
I literally put down the paper, left work, went to the record store and bought this.

It has a great collection of all of the big Disney hits
and a lot of the lesser-known songs.
It includes music from the animated features,
the live action movies, the various TV shows and even the theme parks!



For me though, the item that really puts it over the top is the lavishly illustrated 60 page book that comes with the boxed set.


It's jam packed with information about the songs, the movies,
the composers, and the voice talent.

I think it's a conservative estimate to say that I've listened to this set 2,481 times,
and I can't wait for the 2,482 time!


Shawn likes Maleficent



I think this figure looks SO good. The regal look in Maleficent's eyes is captured so well in this piece.

Shawn likes FIZGIG!


FIZGIG! is a fun game that you can play
if you head on over to Game Show Network's website - www.GSN.com

As seen in the helpful hint above -
you move different firework icons into groups of three.



Once they match up - the tile behind the item disappears.




Then, all of the items that are left on the screen fall down -
and other icons take their place.





But of course - it's not SO easy
because you have to do all of that before the 'timer countdown bar' disappears.


Once you clear ALL of the tiles
(including the very last one on the right hand side.........)


Your level is complete.

By the way - that isn't a 'flash reflection' on the screen - it's your celebratory fireworks display!

Now that you know HOW to play - GO and play!
