Disney Unveils Vinylmation Billiards Collection

[JAM]

First there was Cabbage Patch dolls, then Beanie Babies, and now Disney has launched a new collectible series of vinylmation figures which is soon to be the rage: Disney Billiards Vinylmation Collection.

These 3-inch figures will make up a limited set, so get 'em while they're hot!

I wonder how much my Beanie Babies are worth today.

Sheesh! They sure are teeny tiny. :grin-square:

 

[JAM]

Gee, I wonder if this set of Disney Aramith balls is now worth a little something. :grin:

Disney and billiards. I guess big conglomerates today will do anything to make a buck.

"Goofy in the corner pocket." :thumbup:

Here's a Disney educational tool, Donald Duck teaching math to children by doing it on a pool table: Donald Duck Plays Pool.

Here is a brief Wiki article about Donald Duck in Mathmagic land: Wikipedia Article about Donald Duck and Math.

And here's Jimminy Cricket standing on an 8-ball. I could use one of those.

Well, there's a vintage Disney Pinocchio cartoon with Jimminy Cricket yelling at Pinoccho after he finds him in a pool room.

Jimminy arrives at the billiard hall on Pleasure Island and is shocked to see Pinocchio there smoking and playing pool]
Jimminy Cricket: [shouting] Pinocchio! So this is where I find you! How do you ever expect to be a real boy? Look at yourself. Smoking! Playing pool!
[Jimminy angrily kicks a billiard ball next to him, only to hurt his foot. He hops around, clutching his foot and yelling out in pain]
Jimminy Cricket: Oww! You're comin' right home with me this minute!

Here's the video: Pinocchio Gets Hustled.

What, are you kidding me? Pinocchio with a cigar hanging out of his mouth playing pool?

Many years ago Willie Mosconi did an appearance in a Disney Show, teaching 3 Cushion to Disney Music. Think it was in the late 50's or early 50.

If Disney could make a Pool Movie with Kids playing Pool, the sport will become very popular!

Maybe Disney need to buy Brunswick Arathmith, or at least partner with them IMHO.
