My Pixar Studios Tour Revved Me Up for Cars 3

Cars 3 Event

Walking along the sun-filled campus of Pixar Studios in Emeryville, California, you can’t help but feel the physical presence of creativity in the air. It sounds cliche, I know, but after getting a private tour of the grounds, along with two dozen fantastic bloggers on a #Cars3Event, I now have a better understanding of why Pixar’s movies are so incredibly entertaining, adorable and full of pure imagination. Pixar isn’t just another film studio cranking out …

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi ‘Forces’ Its Way Into My Fanboy Heart

#TheLastJedi Star Wars

ABC’s ‘The Toy Box’ Overflows With Ideas, Enthusiasm and Imagination

#TheToyBox #ABCTVEvent

Thinking back to my childhood, I never actually owned a legit toy box. I kind of just tossed my toys in piles. Marvel Secret Wars figures in the closet. Hot Wheels under the bed. Uno cards on my bookshelf. You get the picture. In a sense, you could say my entire house was a toy box, with ample playability just an arms’ length away. Now as an adult, I still don’t have a real toy box, …
