Watched Ice Age last night. Rather like The Prince of Egypt, in that there was a really good movie somewhere in there struggling to get out. Some brilliant bits, though, with the dodos, the various ice mummies, and the cave paintings.

Still, a bit of a slight to the dodos, who in real life were not particularly suicidal and managed to hang on until we came along and killed them all to make hats and dodo tenders.

Mmmmm...dodo tenders.

Then went to the Disney Store for the plushie sale. Presents for two nieces (a Santa Piglet and a Skrump) and a Captain Amelia for me. Upon her arrival home, Amelia took an instant shine to Hagrid. Imagine the children. Making third niece a sketchbook, 'cause she draws an' junk. Fourth isn't coming for Christmas, so tough darts.

I think it's just the strange and wonderful mystery of the stuffie aesthetic.

Also, some of them had faces that were just terrifying, like they'd been made by glueing raisins onto a large kiwi.

Stop confusing me! In New Zealand a kiwi is a bird. I did once see an amusing cartoon strip entitled "Preparing a Kiwi" where they chopped bits off the kiwi until it looked like a kiwifruit, sliced it up, then put it on a fruit salad. So I'm a sadist. ;)

If the kiwi bird hides its head under a wing, the image still works.

But even less attractive, considering the weird sort of feathery/hairy look it has.
