I love the comment at the bottom: "i'm guessing you wouldn't want to do this in a house with children, or else they might get the idea that eating Legos is ok." Yes, because when I was a kid, a bag of gummi bears made me want to just run out and eat a real bear. Now come on...

It is these types of people that think that candy cigarettes cause kids to smoke.

"Mystery today surrounded a giant Lego man which has washed up on a beach after apparently floating all the way from the Netherlands. The 6ft tall figure in red, yellow and green was spotted by children playing on Brighton beach. Resident Gerry Turner, 34, said: 'It's very odd. God knows how it got here but people are saying it's from Holland because it's got some Dutch writing on it. 'It must have fallen off a boat of something. The kids love it.'"

And here I was just complaining about the number of minifigs I find in the washer and dryer. It's better than dealing with one washing up on a beach.

This is crazy, just deleted my duplicate but thought I would comment to say that I would love to have found this as I would have [attempted] to get it home ha!

Mona and John's secret project to take over the world with giant lego robots may be in jeopardy...
- Michael W. May

i believe it was 1910-1920. i'm trying to find the link to a slew of photos that contained this image
- Cee Bee

"The refreshing onslaught of street art continues. Arriving on a wall near Grand street and Wooster in Manahattan’s Soho is Banksy’s latest work, a three-story high commisioned rat donning the iconic ‘I heart NY’ t-shirt. The piece was painted by professional sign painters Colossal, who must be fighting over the keeper rights to Banksy’s sketch for the piece."

sweet merciful strawberries, now i'm going to have a nightmares about Christopher Robin being set upon by a tiger.
- idnan
that is amazing; who'd have thought?
- Herman I May
Christopher Robin is really Tarzan?

Very smart of Disney. Keeping costs down benefits the movie goer as much as the studio.
- Michael Tefft
It makes sense considering that the Disney films back in the day were literally animated .. aka done by hand and not computers. I think that makes them more enjoyable knowing all of the hard work that went into them.

Hey, that was a good scene. Re-use it again :)
- TDavid
I totally noticed that Mowgli moved a LOT like Arthur in "Sword in the Stone" when I was little! When I was younger... ok, yesterday!

They used to have to wash the animation cels and reuse them as well. This stuff has always been pretty expensive to produce. You need someone to draw it, someone to ink it, someone to paint, need gorgeous backgrounds, massive camera setups, etc etc etc. If there aren't enough people then yeah two dudes have to do all of that. All under a tight budget and tight time constraints.
- sergiooo
Surprise!! we re-use code, why shouldn't they re-use creatives? smart!! (but i do feel sorta ripped off ...childhood is now less cool all of a sudden...nah! just kidding!!)

Stock footage comes to the animation world....

Same layout, but pretty different. There's no pooh in Jungle Book. Just that big bear. Maybe Jungle Book is just a localized version of Winnie the Pooh? ;)

Interesting, now I wanna watch them! :)
- Oli Kenobi
Makes sense, you have to reuse anything you can in animation, it's costly to produce every single frame, especially when they're hand drawn. They don't completely reuse the frame, just the basic, note each example was altered to fit into its movie/art style. If they didn't reuse the frames, body positions, and animations then each Disney movie would have a different feel entirely, you wouldn't get that "Disney-looking-movie" feel that everyone likes.

Awesome, I love deli.ci.ous, this is great news!!

I deleted my del.icio.us cookies and relaunched Firefox and was able to see the new site. However, like Chris said, attempting to log in brings me to a 403 Forbidden Yahoo page. :(
- Nathaniel Payne
My favorite bit is I went to 'about Delicious' in my toolbar menu and it took me to a page that said 'about has no bookmarks yet'
- Shawna Benson
And the del.icio.us feeds into friendfeed are working...

Why is delicious holding out on accepting a yahoo login? Flickr was switched over almost immediately.
- Phil Glockner
I like it. It looks clear and cool. And very un-yahooy.
- Benedikt Koehler
Phil, that's why I'm not joining delicious as of yet
- Outsanity
I just signed in successfully too!! woo hoo!
- Susan Beebe
@J. Phil maybe the delicious user DB and yahoo user DB isn't set up to talk to each other as easy as flickr was. they have to link both together, they won't make you sign up twice hopefully.

I don't have to re.mem.ber where all the periods go. WIN!

they took their time, but first impressions are that it looks great and works perfectly.

This, my friends, is how a revision is done. It maintains the same feel, the same text-centric vibe, with a nice web 2.0 sheen on it. It's beautiful work!
- Justin Whitaker
Just started playing with it. In 2 minutes of usage I don't see any new functionality, though the visual design is a lot crisper. Pleasant.
- Kevin Fox
I love the fact that they kept it clean and simple, well done Delicious.
- Steve Spalding
Seems just a facelift release, can't see functional enhancements. Still can't remove tag by 1 click, delete and remove tag quickly, tag and delete on multiple bookmarks. They still doesn't provide the better way to manage even just 100+ bookmarks. Anyone can tell what actually enhanced?
- Baron M.
I like more the old Delicious'colors.But new freatures are good.
- Igor Poltavskiy
I can't believe so many people go wild over the new design. There is just so incredibly much wrong with it. Here are just a few of the complaints: http://support.delicious.com/forum...

Let me chime in on this and say that I hate it when *I* misuse apostrophes. I know what to do with them. But sometimes they weasel themselves into places where they shouldn't be and make look like a tool.

Kieron (the author of said article) is also the author of the Britpop comic PHONOGRAM, which you should all be reading because it's fucking brilliant.

Very inspiring stuff. When you thing all photographs have been made, think again. I especially like the play of the light on the surroundings. Something a Photoshop artist like myself would forget or rush. Wonderfull. I want to make them myself!
