Storytellers Series Smell Swell McQueen

I learned about a New series that will be released in the future called "Storytellers." They are existing characters that will be released on a sandwich-like card and tell stories about things prior to the first movie. They are technically called "Interstitials," which are short animation pieces that appear on television or online before and after programming or commercials.

Smell Swell is supposed to be Lightning McQueen's first sponsor before Rust-eze. It is a car deodorizer company. There will be others such as Doc, Ramone and Flo. There have been grumblings about adding these to the line since they weren't in the Original Movie. If they are introduced properly, I'll reserve judgement until I see how well they are done before I write them off. My impression is they'll do average unless the story-line is very strong. I don't recall what their price will be. Once I find out, I'll let you know.

Pixar Cars Sarge May Salute Us On Veterans Day

People have long been awaiting the return of Sarge in his new "Fatigues!" The New Sarge sans the lead paint that prompted a recall last year, should appear around Veterans Day (November 11, 2008). He should be saluting with his wiper blade and be accompanied by an American Flag! It is only proper that this great American Jeep should make his return during our important holiday honoring ALL veterans. If you'd like to be more informed about Veterans Day, visit this link and read about it more...History of Veterans Day

Much more to come from Comic-Con! My next entry will be about Smell Swell and Lightning before he made it big.
