The Lion King: Early Character Sketches and Storyboard Art

Simba, Timon and Pumba Early Color Storyboard

I am always thrilled when Disney releases early concept art like this to promote their new releases!! The Lion King (now in 3D!) is coming out this Friday September 16 for only two weeks in theaters, then after that will be released on DVD October 4th.

This Disney movie holds a special place in my heart – it was first released in 1994, the same year I first became a mom. Plus, the Lion King story is just so moving and wonderful – classic Disney storytelling at its finest. I’ve been given permission to post these amazing early sketches when they were developing the Lion King characters, storyboard, and poster art. Enjoy!

I find it a little hard to keep up with all the different Pokémon characters – at this point there are about 250 of them! But I have a soft spot for Pikachu, who is absolutely adorable! I’d like to think I can draw up a coloring page for every single one of them, but that’s a pretty ambitious project. Here are my first six, and I’ll update regularly with more.

Cool Pokémon Printables

I’d have to say that most of all, I am completely impressed with this Pokemon website for kids called PaperPokés, full of free printable paper crafts of Pokemon characters. The attention to detail makes them quite remarkable, but I’ll also have to say that it also makes them not for the impatient! My 9 year old son was able to put together one of the simpler figures, but adult help will be required on some of the more complex paper models.

Spongebob Squarepants is one of those very rare shows that I can get all of my kids to agree on – from age 6 to almost 15! And did you know that you can watch instant Spongebob episodes online from Amazon? Neither did I until just recently!
