Snow White and the Two Dwarfs

Constant Concepts has made some great custom minifigs and I'll have to go through and feature more of these, but here are Snow White, Dopey and Doc.

Car Wars

Another category in the MOCathalon is 'Will it blend', challenging builders to mash-up two themes. Raphael Huesser puts together Sheriff with a Republic Cruiser to come up with Star Cars.



This isn't Raphael's first time swimming in these waters. He'd previously made Millenium McQueen:

Timekeeper

Okay, I have to admit that I loved the old Circle-Vision America the Beautiful. If you remember, this was the 1960 theater-in-the-round film where you stood in a big room surrounded by screens as you toured through the US. It's since been replace by more modern versions, but I did really enjoy this when I saw it as a kid. It predated IMAX and modern 3-D and other sorts of virtual visions. BTW, one time I followed a Google Maps Streetview car around the streets of DC, and I imagine that car mounted with cameras pointing every direction is the sort of thing they used to film America the Beautiful. So if you go to Google Maps and look at the street view of the area around George Washington University and see some guy in a white Honda waving at the camera over a three block stretch, that's probably me. Anyway, back to the blog, in 1992 Disney ran a Circle-Vision film called The Timekeeper (or the Visionarium) that featured an animatronic flying robot that was going around doing the filming. Here's Jordan Schwartz's version of that robot.

MOCathalon

It's time for the 2012 MOCathalon, an annual team contest on MOCpages with multiple categories. As always, there are a ton of great creations already. One of the categories is 'Fairy Tale', and builders are challenged to release their inner princess. These don't all tie directly to the Disney versions, but the creations are definitely worth a second look: Littlehaulic's Cinderella carriage, Annie Corder's Sleeping Beauty and Leda Kat's Snow White.

Disneyland

Alright, everyone sing along: It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hopes and a world of fears. There's so much that we share that it's time to be aware, it's a small world after all. [Louder!] It's a small world, after all! It's a small world, after all! It's a small world, after all. It's a small, small world! Okay, hopefully I got that stuck in your head for the rest of the day, as it has been in mine since looking at the SALUG Disneyland layout from 2006. Small World ride:


Main Street USA:

Sleeping Beauty Castle:


Oh, BTW, big LUG displays often have little humorous Easter eggs for people attending the display to find. For instance, go back again to the Small World section (and, c'mon, you know you can't go to Disneyland without riding that thing a couple of times) and look closely at the passengers in the boats.

Star Tours

Jordan Schwarz built the shuttle from the Star Tours ride at Disneyland.

The original Donald

Eti made Donald Duck's car.

Bouncy trouncy flouncy pouncy

Arzlan presents Tigger.

Pumpkin carriage

Fvin&yan also made Cinderella's carriage.

Tractor tipping

Looking through Fvin&Yan's photostream, in addition to the previously blogged Beauty and the Beast, sgrre's this great tractor from Cars.

Waiting for the Queen

Fvin&yan built a great version of Sgt. Highgear. Via FBTB.

Love Bug

GoRiLLaWeR has been a great source of MOCs. He even made Herbie.

WALL*E

Of course GoRiLLaWeR's EVE was meant to accompany the WALL*E he previously posted. Here's the happy couple.

Directive

Last week GoRiLLaWeR presented EVE, complete with plant.

Luxo Jr.

GoRiLLaWeR made a great version of Luxo Jr. for his desk.

WALL-E

My kids have been watching WALL-E lately (over and over again, as only small kids can do without going completely insane). So this one is for them. Angus Maclane was directing animator for WALL-E, and he's also a prominent AFOL. While he was working on the film, he spent a lot of time contemplating everyone's favorite rolling trash compactor, so it's no surprise he came up with a great LEGO rendition, with a couple of tiny scale versions as well.

DUPLO Cars

The next wave of DUPLO Cars set was also on display at Toy Fair. I don't see System scale Cars sets in the Toy Fair photos, so I don't know if we'll have a next wave of these. Anyway, here they are:

6134 Siddeley Saves the Day


6133 Race Day


6132 Red

DUPLO Disney Princesses

Last week at the New York Toy Fair LEGO presented their new sets for the upcoming year. Most of the hype has followed new themes like Lord of the Rings, and the Marvel Super Heroes sets. For the younger builders, though, they are releasing four Disney Princess sets in the DUPLO line. If my daughter was just a little younger I'm sure we'd be buying all of these. I wonder if we'll see more of these? Or maybe sets in System scale? I'm sure Ariel and Belle would be great sellers as well.

6151, Sleeping Beauty's Room


6152, Snow White's Cottage


6153, Cinderella's Carriage


6154, Cinderella's Castle

Tiny cars

Brian, aka Dag's Bricks, came up with micro version of the Cars cars. If you put appropriate 'eyes' stickers on these they would be perfect. He's proposed this on Cuusoo, so if you're a Cuusoo user, go there and support this suggestion..

Hellfire

Perhaps the most interesting and disturbing bit in any Disney movie is Hellfire from the Hunchback of Notre Dame (well, also Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia), here in LEGO formby Jordan Schwartz.

Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of Hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone



Hey, this is probably the only thing I'll ever be able to cross-post between GodBricks and DisneyBricks!
