Photo from Family.Disney.com

The little robot that captured the hearts of Disney Fans everywhere can be made into an adorable love-struck cookie. In the movie Wall-E, Wall-E falls for the new girl on the plant. Who knows what first kicked him in the bolts, it could have been her sleek shape, shiny exterior, or maybe her futuristic nature. All we know is Wall-E fell hard for the Eve probe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their love spread across the galaxy as Wall-E chased after his love. Not even an evil plot could keep him away from Eve. Disney celebrates the love between Eve and Wall-E with this unforgettable Sugar Cookie recipe of the lovable Wall-E eyes. Simply follow the instructions below to create this yummy recipe.

By Disney:

In his role as a trash compactor, the love-struck WALL-E has developed a real knack for making good use of spare parts — like turning his collection of extra robot eyes into irresistible treats.

Sweet WALL-E Cookies

Time: 32 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Print

Ingredients

Wall-e Eye Template
Batch of chilled sugar cookie dough
Rolling pin
Flour
Wax paper
Kitchen knife
Baking sheet
Spatula
Wire cooling rack
White cookie icing
Butter knife
Chocolate Candy Melts
Chocolate M&M’s candies
Small microwavable bowl
Toothpick
Small round pretzels

Photo from Family.Disney.com

Directions

Heat the oven to the specified temperature for the cookie dough. Meanwhile, print and cut out the template pieces.
Roll out the dough on a floured sheet of wax paper to ¼-inch thickness and then use the template and kitchen knife to cut out a bunch of WALL-E eyes (both left and right). Bake the cookies according to the recipe directions and then transfer them to the wire rack to cool completely.
Working with one cookie eye at a time, frost the surface with white cookie icing, and gently press a candy melt in place for the iris. Next, use a blob of cookie icing to “glue” a chocolate M&M’s candy atop the candy melt.
Melt a few chocolate Candy Melts in a microwavable bowl, heating them for 10- to 15-second intervals until they are soft enough to stir into a smooth consistency. Use the tip of a toothpick dipped in the melted chocolate to add three “rivets” to each eye.
Use more of the melted chocolate to stick each completed pair of WALL-E eyes to the top of pretzel.

Free Star Wars TFA Printable Paper Doll of Rey

Star Wars: the Force Awakens (TFA) is now the number one grossing film in the United States, passing up Titanic and flying by what used to be the highest grossing film, Avatar. The fans have not kept quiet about the sheer awesomeness this film depicts as they celebrate the movies success and theorize about the future stories and characters. Who is Rey? What happened to Finn? Will Luke join the fight against the First Order? All these questions circulate the web and fan forums. unfortunately, it will be a while before any of these questions are answered. What are we fans to do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, it is no surprise that fans fill their time cosplaying, drawing, or creating other crafts to commemorate the TFA movie as we wait for the next film. Even I have taken time to draw my second favorite droid, BB-8 (R2-D2 is still my favorite) and make him into a gif.

Out of the paper crafts I have seen inspired from TFA, at this moment in time, I think my favorite printable is the fun paper doll created by Paper Dolls by Cory. Cory stepped up to the challenge of immortalizing Rey and BB-8 as printable paper dolls. In his two-page paper doll Star Wars Edition, Daisy Ridley is portrayed as Rey accompanied by BB-8. The doll features the clothes she wore on Jakku and a special costume created by Cory. He states that he,

wanted to create something bold, beautiful, and elegant that echoed her main outfit and other costumes from Star Wars.

If you ask me the costume is beautiful and he really captured the Star Wars feel and elegance.

To get this free printable paper doll simply click the images below and save them to your computer. Be sure to visit Paper Dolls by Cory’s facebook page and check out his other epic paper dolls.

Electrifying Battles in Dragons Race to the Edge

In the brand new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge, premiering only on Netflix January 8th, we will get to see all new dragons and electrifying battles! Hiccup, Toothless and the Dragon Riders (Astrid, Tuffnut, Heather, Ruffnut, Fishlegs, and Snotlout) all return for epic adventures as they battle an all new band of ruthless Dragon Hunters and learn more about the Dragon Eye artifact.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps, what will be the coolest characteristic about the new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge will be the epic dragons we get to see. Along with new dragons, we will also get to see the return of some rather dangerous dragons such as the Skrill.

About the Skrill from howtotrainyourdragon.com:
“One of the most mysterious and feared species in the Book of Dragons, the Skrill is aggressive, powerful and nearly untrainable.

“Skrills do not breath fire. Instead they channel lightning down their metallic spines, firing it from their mouths in a shower of destructive blasts. They can also store this electrical power in their bodies and release it later on.

“Because of this unique firepower, Skrills tend to gravitate towards stormy weather. If you find yourself flying through a thunderstorm, watch out!

“Skrills are also tough. They can take a lot of damage in battle, and give as good as they get. However, the Skrill has one weakness….it cannot fire it’s lightning from the water. Force a Skrill in the ocean and it loses the upper hand.”

Check out a Sneak Peek of the Skrill in the all new Season of Dragons: Race to the Edge

An Electrifying Battle Clip

Toothless and Hiccup go nose-to-nose with Skrill in an electrifying battle. Watch all the action unfold in an all-new season of Dragons: Race to the Edge on Netflix, January 8th!

Find The Panda, The Cat, Or Maybe C-3PO

I am assuming, at this point, that almost everyone has seen the “Find the Panda” Game made by Gergely “Dudolf” Dudás. You know, the one where you stare at a picture full of snowmen and focus on finding a cute black and white panda all the while thinking, “How hard could this be?” Only to find that maybe it might be harder than it looks. Then, of course, you find it and now it is impossible to unsee and the thrill of he hunt is gone. Well don’t lose heart, because there are now several “Find the Panda” Games posted throughout the internet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With this fun little search game going viral, many more people are jumping in on the fun and creating their own games. The following images below are some of my favorites, especially the Star Wars ones. Those are Epic! So Can you find the Panda?…or perhaps the cat? Or how about C-3PO?

Toys “R” Us Star Wars: The Epic Battles Posters

Over the last couple of months, Star Wars and Toys “R” Us have had an event going on where fans can head to Toys “R” Us and collect the epic Star Wars Medals. To do so, fans had to bring in the certificate stating that they had played Star Wars: The Epic Battles and won. When the employees at Toys “R” Us saw the certificate, they would hand the players a medal. There were four games and four medals to collect featuring the planets:

Hoth
Endor
Tatooine
and Yavin

Each Epic Battle game was actually like a “Where’s Waldo” game where players had to find five specific characters or machinery hidden within a massive poster of chaos. R2-D2, C-3PO, Ewoks, Luke Sywalker, Max Rebo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and more were all hidden within the scenes. Let me tell you, the games were fun and entertaining! In fact, I loved the Games so much, I saved the posters to create my own search and finds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It turns out that I am not the only one that loved the posters. The moment people found out I had copies of these posters, I began getting emails requesting copies. I figured it would be easier to share these posters on my blog and let all the fans download them. All you have to do is click the image and save the jpeg to your computer. So easy, a jawa could so it.

Note: I did not draw these, create these or own these. These posters were part of the Star Wars: The Epic Battle Games by Toys “R” Us.
