Advice for Young Girls from The Little Mermaid
Thanks Lene!

I watched waaay too much Disney Channel this weekend and now I have this song stuck in my head. At least the lyrics are inspirational for kids.
A word’s, just a word
’til you mean what you say
And love, isn’t love
’til you give it away
We’ve all gotta give
Yes, something to give
To make a change
[Chorus:]
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Reach a heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action the chain reaction
Will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
I may or may not have been watching Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana on Friday. And, someone whose name starts with C and rhymes with Tristian may or may not have been watching with me. There’s a scene where David Henrie, the older brother on Wizards of Waverly Place, gets in the hot tub only to emerge with his body dyed blue (a prank pulled on him by his sister). Those of us watching were both a little awestruck by the new six-pack and tight torso on David Henrie. Whoa! When did he go from bumbling goofball to super hot teen stud?
This Disney cross-show collaboration between the three shows (Hannah Montana, Suite Life on Deck, and Wizards of Waverly Place) leads up to a Hawaiian vacation for the wizarding family in August. I may or may not be looking forward to more hot David Henrie shirtlessness.
Oh, and it’s okay folks: David is actually 20 years old in real life. It’s totally acceptable for us to lust after him.
USA Today and the blogosphere have pics of the concept art for Tim Burton’s new take on Alice in Wonderland. BTW, that’s Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts. WHAT?! Johnny and Helena are starring in a Tim Burton film? That’s preposterous. That never happens…
Disclaimer: Disney is the mega-god corporation and owns all rights to everything known to man (but specifically, they own the rights to this artwork). Disney will henceforth own the rights to everything Lewis Carroll wrote or intended to write about Alice and her adventures. While current copyright law sets time limits on copyright protection, Disney is working on that little limitation. Expect eternal copyright protection for famous brands someday soon.
Wow. Almost too funny to be real. But, it looks pretty clear cut — Disney pretty much just traced its cartoons over and over again.
