Steve said he's old school and not techno-savvy because he still draws with a paper and pen
I love him. I can't figure out how to draw or color on the computer worth a damn XD

I have that snowglobe; it's the ONE I said I was going to get for AWNW because I'm picky with snowglobes. I love it even more now.

I figured they did that with the faces because Jasmine's isn't completely different from the Disney Store mold now, but still - Mulan's needed to be changed :|

idk there's a TON of Nightmare Merchandise despite all the hurdles it gets. I guess I'm not surprised Genie has to go through 1000000 approvals, especially if Robin is still attached to it. Tarzan, though, I don't get that one at all. I have a friend who would be upset to hear that xD

THE LION KING DIAMOND EDITION IS COMING OUT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME??

I love that he hand draws. I know computer drawing is hard, but damnit, it never thrills me as much as hand drawing. (Or watching someone draw. He said he wasn't allowed to draw for us. :( )

That whole set was gorg and sold out super fast according to the people at the store (back when it was open). It's my fav snowglobe as well. I'm sorry I didn't get the Hercules one, too. I've started noticing which stuff he seems to have had a hand in designing. He said he did a Jasmine-Rajah one, and I think I know which one because the faces are nicer.

Mulan's really needs to.

Yup, he said Robin is one of the people that need to be gone through before merch is approved. I think Tarzan because it's the property of whoever is in charge of Edgar Rice Burroughs?

IT'S A STATE-FUCKING-SECRET, DON'CHA KNOW!!

I'm not surprised. If he draws something and someone makes it into an idea or mass produces it, Disney can't get the profits from it. That, or he's under that "all your ideas belong to us" clause and anything he draws on the clock belongs to them. It's just easier for him not to draw anything.

The one that was part vase? That one was gorgeous. I think I know what Jasmine/Rajah snowglobe you're talking about. I have a smaller one because it doesn't play any music, but I know the bigger one looks very similiar.

She's making this face like >:>

adskjfnajsdfknasdfkjasdfasdfaks that just makes me really bitter.I don't even get why Robin still has a say in that. He voiced Genie, not designed him. The merchandise isn't talking, so wtf. asdfaskdjfnaskdjfanskdfn Tarzan makes sense now and so does a few others based off book characters, but whiiiiiiine moan complain

DO YOU KNOW WHAT MOVIE NEEDS TO COME ON DVD? THE LION KING.

I figured that'd be the case. That's why I didn't even bother asking him. But I overheard someone else ask, which basically confirmed it.

I think it was part vase. I just remember kicking myself later, LOL. Haha, I have the smaller one too! Didn't buy the musical one either.

I know I keep whining about her face but... Damn it, Jim!!

Must be the contract. Wasn't there a whole issue with him because of their promotion of the movie in '92? Don't worry, I'll gripe with you! XD

IDK, WAS THE LION KING ACTUALLY POPULAR? WOULD PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO SEE IT?

It's probably the clause because I know I had to sign it. Any ideas I came up with while working for them would belong to them. If someone asked him to draw Jasmine as a super hero, the idea would belong to Disney and they probably could sue the person who got the drawing because it's their idea since he belongs to them contractual wise. It's a bitch ( ... )

Darn clause. Try not to think while working, eh? XD

I admit, it is odd for Jas to be hugging Rajah and AWNW be playing. Why not just use the instrumentals from that scene? They are beautiful.

Her face got squished. Poor Mulan.

IDK girl. I guess his lawyer/agent got him a real good deal on his contract. Although, I'm curious how it applies in different countries, Tokyo Disney apparently has TONS of Genie shit.

A COUPLE DOLLARS AIN'T GONNA TOPPLE HARRY POTTER.

Basically. Just draw XD

That's all they ever use is that song. I don't get it. I know licensing is an issue for other songs to be used in merchandise on other movies, but they OWN all these damn songs. y u no use pretty instrumentals??

Or she has a lemon in her mouth XD

THEY DO AND I AM INSANELY JEALOUS. I guess that might be different, though, because Genie's VA would be different and I doubt he has to over-see it in other countries, too, but that's really stupid he has to in the first place. I can't imagine that happening with every VA for all the characters Disney owns.

BUT WHAT IF THERE'S A LOT OF COUPLE DOLLARS?

You prob shouldn't do that either, lol. XD

I guess it's not recognizable enough. :(

We gotta get over to Tokyo disney one of these days. The dolls makers too, maybe then they'll see real Asian faces aren't squished.

THOSE FURRIES WILL BE WATCHING IN DROVES, EH?
