Hasta La Gadget!

You might want to usher any kids out of the room before you continuing reading this post, because the honest titles The FW came up with for a bunch of Disney movies might just be too honest for their tastes.

If you’ve seen other trailers and posters that have been dubbed as “honest”, then you know it’s the most blunt and straightforward version of events minus the fairy tale aspect of the story.

Some of the titles are cruelly apt, while others are just hilarious and fitting. My favorite is the one for Beauty and the Beast. It’s one of my favorite Disney movies and Belle having Stockholm syndrome isn’t very hard to believe. Let’s just hope they really ended up happily ever after.

You can check out the rest of the honest Disney titles in the gallery below.

deviantART member João Victor G. Costa aka JINNdev wondered what the 1985 classic Super Mario Bros. would look like if it was made today but still based on the game’s original sprites. Then he stopped thinking and started making moves. Here’s what JINNdev came up with.

The colors and the hand-drawn look are nice and remind me of Braid. At the same time in my minds eye I always see the game with blinking lights and accents, like with the question mark blocks, the coins and the star power up, so I also feel like something was lost in JINNdev’s drawing.

I wonder how it would look like in motion. Check out JINNdev’s deviantART page for the original image.

Nothing takes the steam out of a Dalek like taking his dead carcass and putting it in your garden to use as a planter. Daleks don’t look menacing at all with flowers coming out of them.

This “Ex-Germinate” Dalek flower pot was made by photographer and Doctor Who collector Chris Balcombe, who obviously knows how to handle an evil Dalek. Even the Doctor himself has never exiled a Dalek into a garden. Let’s just hope this doesn’t lead to a new Dalek race that is just as deadly, but looks prettier.

Now all we need is a Cyberman and K-9 and this could be an amazing Doctor Who robotic garden tourist attraction.

What is blue, has eights arms and is bigger on the inside? This Doctor Who “statement” necklace, that’s what. Or as I like to call it, the “OctoTARDIS” or “Doctor Cthulu”.

I wish I could buy this thing. The team at Porcubimmer Motors has created a pretty accurate recreation of The Homer. You might remember it as the car designed by Homer Simpson that brought his brother’s empire crumbling down. It looks great IRL.

This bright green eyesore cost $82,000 to make price tag, but still it is “powerful like a gorilla, but soft and yielding like a Nerf ball.” And that will definitely cost you.

The detail is quite nice – complete with a plastic bubble for your kid. It has fins, giant cup holders, a bowling trophy hood ornament and the horn plays La Cucaracha. Because seriously, whats even the point otherwise?

I’m no sure if there are three horns in the interior — a feature of the original Homer, because “you can never find a horn when you’re angry” — but we’re willing to look the other way, because seriously, look how incredible this thing is. The license plates even read “BORT.” Awesome.

This is a great homage to Homer. You can check out more photos of The Homer here.
