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!

Phineas and Ferb Coloring Pages

Wendy Piersall — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:27:33 +0000

My kids are avid fans of the Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb – and I can hardly blame them. Dr. Doofenshmirtz is seriously my most favorite Disney Villain of ALL TIME. He is absolutely hysterical! He completely makes this show worth watching – yes, I admit I am an adult and am probably too old for cartoons – shush!

These Phineas and Ferb coloring pages to print are free and drawn by yours truly – enjoy!

Tinkerbell Coloring Pages to Print

Wendy Piersall — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:22:51 +0000

Although this post has been up a while, today I’ve finally added 6 new Tinkerbell and fairy friends coloring pages that I drew up myself. I’ve been wanting to do these forever!!

I find Tinkerbell to be a fascinating Disney character. She is such a stinker in Peter Pan, yet somehow she is the most popular character in the movie! I think it’s the cuteness factor, because Tink is really one of the cutest Disney characters they have ever made!

Plus, we have more Tinkerbell coloring pages and printables in our Tinkerbell Party Ideas post!

Free Printable Movie Crossword Puzzles

These Disney crossword puzzles are from some of my favorite Disney movies – especially Enchanted!

Last year when I was in Florida, my friend Susan tipped me off to the best tourist tip ever for traveling to Orlando. She said to never buy Disney merchandise at the amusement parks, and instead hop over to the Disney outlets which can be found in several local malls (and now online, too!).

Jungle Book Word Search and Coloring Pages

Wendy Piersall — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:45:01 +0000

I think that The Jungle Book is one of the very first movies I ever saw as a child. This Disney classic is still just as fun to watch today as it was back then! Unfortunately, the Disney site doesn’t have a lot of games or printables for this movie, so I’ve made a Jungle Book word search and have collected some great links to other Jungle Book coloring pages.
