Casey Jr.'s Coming Round the Tracks
May 11, 2012 - 8:34 AM - by Ryan C
Casey Jr.'s Coming Round the Tracks-caseygiraffecamels98.jpg   In Walt Disney's Dumbo, Casey Jr. is the little train transporting the circus animals to their various destinations. He lugs his heavy cargo up steep hills, repeating the well-known saying, "I-think-I-can, I-think-I-can." After successfully reaching the hill's summit, Casey rolls down the hill, repeating. "I-thought-I-could, I-thought-I-could." Casey Jr. is part of a long tradition of industrious little trains found in children's literature.


The development of Casey Jr.'s personality was influenced by the popular children's story "The Little Engine That Could," published in 1930 by Watty Piper. This story was inspired, in part, by a 1906 sermon by Rev. Charles S. Wing, as well as subsequent incarnations in 1906, 1910, and 1920.

Inside Ramone’s House of Body Art at Cars Land with Auto Designer Chip Foose-ramone-27s_body_art_concept_art.jpg   In the “Cars” movies, Ramone’s House of Body Art is home to a great car artist – the one and only Ramone. So when it came to providing inspiration and styling inside Ramone’s shops at Cars Land in Disney California Adventure park, we turned to the best in the business – Chip Foose.

Chip was the perfect choice in many ways. Chip not only styled Ramone’s various paint schemes for the “Cars” movies, but as owner of Foose Design in Huntington Beach, Calif., he’s world renowned for his designs of customized cars, paint and wheels. Every time we’ve needed an expert to help us out with car colors, wheel designs and other specialized designs, we’ve turned to Chip. He’s spent so much time with us that we consider him an honorary Cars Land team member!

Make your own Star Wars droid at Disney World
May 10, 2012 - 9:03 PM - by Ryan C
Make your own Star Wars droid at Disney World-sdf138969small.jpg   These Are The Droids You Have Been Looking For! The Tattoine Traders store at the Disney Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World will soon have a build-your-own-droid option, along with a cardback box so that you can package it up to look like one of the original Star Wars figs. This is one of the rare times when the official Star Wars product is as interesting as the incredible, imaginative array of fannish creations.
