Geekanerd Spotter: Mexico Edition

Hola pistolas! Greetings from warm and sunny Oaxaca, home of half the AHR family tree. Oaxaca is a great place to relax and ride out the inevitable video game withdrawal, but just like the song says, there is always something there to remind me.

Also of note; no one here seems to care about Dark Knight very much, but the Resident Evil animated movies (??) are HUGE.

Also thought some of you might appriciate this...
This image really confused me. It looks like a legit Disney character design, but who is it? From whence did it come? The combination of dark skinned girl, walrus, and penguin had me thinking...Eskimo Princess? Could this be some sort of Direct to DVD Disney flick available only in Central American markets?

The answer is: no. It's just Young Ariel colored to look Latina. The shell necklace is a giveaway. Inside the book, she's a redhead as per usual. Pretty disappointing, actually.

UPDATE: Okay, so the real explanation is even less interesting. A Gnerd commenter more up on the recent crop of Disney Classics informs us that the girl on the book is actually Ariel's DAUGHTER, who does in fact have black hair on account of her parentage (Eric, anyone?). Still...darker skin color, right? Maybe? Bah.

Geekanerd Spotter: Inappropriate Sleeping Beauty Ad

Yeeah. That doesn't look wholesome to me. Maybe I'm still all perv'ed out from the Anime Fest this weekend, but seriously. That blood red background juxtaposed with the tag line "SEE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE" and the the very unwisely cropped picture..could this be intentionally dodgy? It could be a specifically New York market ad, maybe they decided to go for the somnophiliac market as long as they were posting stuff in the childless land of East Midtown Manhattan.

Star Wars Gets Disneyfied

EndorExpress.net has some exclusive pictures of a new line of action figures from Disney that features the bastard offspring of Star Wars characters coupling with Disney characters (including Muppets!) There's no scale here, but I get the impression that these guys are really tiny. Either that or they're just poorly made, and I'd hate to think that. It seems they'll only be available at Disney Theme Parks, so if you want some prepare that trip or get ready to fork out some big eBay bucks.

Some of my favorites after the jump!

Airport Ads for Star Wars Weekends

Scaryideas has some pics up from a new ad campaign for Disney World's Star Wars Weekends. It's fun to see these characters in modern situations. Click through to see a Stormtrooper Chauffeur, Amidala's Luggage, an R2-D2 Stowaway, and many more.

AHR Update: Hey, Robot Chicken's Star Wars show featured a sketch with the same joke as that poster....
