Disney Wishlist : May 2016

The Disney Book : A Celebration Of The World Of Disney

Sometimes I buy something and get so excited about it I feel the need to tell everyone I know about it.

This is one of those things.

Now... everyone I actually know probably wouldn't give a poop about this item but I KNOW lots of you readers and bloggers out there are just as obsessed with Disney as myself so I just needed to tell you all about this beautiful book!

I was browsing Amazon the other day (like you do) and literally stumbled across this. I noticed that it had JUST been released last month and it looked interesting so of course I clicked on it..... and boy was I not disappointed.

It arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to rip it open and have a look at what I have bought.
I was totally overwhelmed with the content at first glance - amazing images, behind the scenes looks... pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about the world of Disney - from how it started to where it is today!

You open up to the timeline from the 1920s to this very year - which spans across TEN pages and you can see every movie ever released from the Disney team (how many do you have crossed off?)!
From there you can read all about the first days of Disney and where Walt started, the original animations and behind the scenes!

There's pretty much a section about every single huge blockbuster you can think of, you can find out all the facts behind the story's and how they came about - I cannot wait to get cosy every night and read through every single page.

Another part I LOVE it the 'Surprises and Salutes' - all those little bits sneaked into films to give a little nudge or wink at something like - like Rapunzel being in Frozen and Nani having a Mulan poster up in her room!

Of course I bloomin' love the Disneyland/world sections too - so much information and I love seeing all the original merchandise, posters and sketches!

Not only do you get all of this in this 195 page masterpiece you are also treated to an original filmstrip from Pixar's Brave - a real life bit of movie... which I am SOOO getting framed - how special!

This is literally perfect for any big Disney fan - whether it be yourself or treating someone for Christmas!

You can find the book here - it's only £12.91, which is such a steal for what you get!!!

p.s. you're welcome.

The Positive Post

I like to think that I am a happy person (most of the time) but like alot of people my self-esteem is up and down like a yo-yo and sometimes I need a good slap just to remind me how lucky I am and how to stay happy and positive.

Once in a while I love to have a good look on sites like Tumblr and Pinterest and I'm sure I'm not the only one, addictive much?

The cute little photos and quotes I spot on there always make me smile and I love saving them to my phone, putting them as my wallpaper and sharing them around!

There's alot of negativity on the internet (and in the real world!) and it sucks. We all see it daily and it's nice just to share a bit of light and love now and again so I've decided to have some happy thoughts here on A Yellow Brick Blog today.

Some quotes and words really do have the power to lift your spirits and turn your day around so here is an easy read for you all, hopefully it will make you smile.

(Obviously I have not created any of these photos I have just found them online and wanted to put them on here for you guys to see too.)
