For all you Thomas fans out there

Tom recently discovered the Photobooth on our Mac. Frankly, he's a little behind the times, but I'll forgive him since he's never previously owned one. Since then, he's put in a lot of time painstakingly working on his new art. (whenever he's in our office and I hear him chuckling to himself, I always know he's at it again...) And I have to admit, as I looked over his "work," I was indeed impressed with his new-found talent. It got me thinking. This could be where we make our millions. As soon as I work up the nerve, I'm going to give Pixar a phone call and let them know that we have a model for each and every character for any movie they could ever come up with ever again. I've even got all the characters figured out.

Here we have our main character. He's the lovable squeeze that's going to be this year's Halloween costume sellout:

Here's his trusted pup and slobbering sidekick:

The brawny, full-of-himself, take-advantage-of-the-little-guy toughie, who ultimately is trodden down by his own lust for power and success:

The squire:

The ferocious giant, whom eventually becomes a tamed and loyal comrade and protector of our main guy:

The nosy townsfolk:

The crazy grandfather, who occasionally offers sound advice:

The token alien:

The ever-so-clever (and revolutionized for the 21st century) magic mirror:

Here we take a mild dip into Greek mythology.  This guy's our modern day Cerberus:

The wise shaman that lives atop the highest peak of the far-off mountains (okay, I had to join in for good measure):

The damsel in distress (whom, by the looks of it, is apparently expecting...):

The wicked stepmother:

And finally, the mysterious wizard full of magical powers:

You get the idea. Don't worry Pixar people. We've got you covered.
