I couldn't see the film, but I could read the book while listening to the soundtrack with this poster on the wall.

I picked up the movie storybook in a charity shop a few years ago. It doesn't feature any of the licenced characters, so skips Toontown entirely, has a scene in Jessica's dressing room that must have been cut, and half the book covers the final scene.

Christopher Nolan's next film is an adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey. Looks like I'm going to reread this edition again

I think this was the first Christmas in a long while that you could actually buy Star Wars toys thanks to the Micro Machine range.

Apart from Edd the Duck, I imagine each one of these licensed characters has some sort of equivalent available to buy in 2024.

Following a recent house move, I'm slowly retrieving & unpacking all my stuff, and i've found my stash of Christmas Radio Times and some old Xmas catalogues.

Would anybody be interested if I start posting some of the contents?

This book is stacked with comics from 3-panel dailies to a complete Tin-Tin book, plus celebrities reveal their favourite comics. Who knew Prince was a Casper fan?
