The first item I pulled out of my package is something I was quite glad was included! It, more or less, described where "Plane Crazy Button Club" came from. This is what it had to say:
"Before Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse made their film debut in a much lesser known silent short: Plane Crazy. This classic story of Mickey Mouse imitating the famous CharlesLindbergh was directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. Solely animated by Iwerks, the film took only two weeks to create (that's a rate of over 700 drawings a day!) A test screening was premiered for a theatre audience on May 15, 1928; however, it failed to pick up a distributor.
Plane Crazy wasn't officially released by the Walt Disney Studios until 1929. By then, Mickey and the gang had already won the hearts of American viewers through the archetypal shorts such as Steamboat Willie, The Gallopin' Gaucho, and The Barn Dance. Although responsible for creating one of the film's most iconic duos, the impact of Plane Crazy is often a surprise to many."
I thought this was a fantastic thing to include. I had never even heard of Plane Crazy, so this was new to me. I just thought it was something random the people had come up with. Now that I know where it is from I am excited to check it out. I hope it is on YouTube! (Edit: I found it!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed0X9vYdGE8 ) The card also had where to follow them on social media. I am now following them on Instagram, and I subscribed to their YouTube channel.
After I had read what was on that card, I dumped everything out of the padded envelope into my lap, and this note was the first thing to catch my eye.
I am not sure if I am correct to assume that this was handwritten but it looks like it is to me. Whether this was handwritten or not I think it was a very epic personal touch. I loved how it had my name on it, and it felt like they were actually talking to me as a person and not an automatic computer generated message! I am already getting ready to frame this for my wall; it isn't often that I get things with my name spelt correctly! (I know that it is spelt right because I had to put it in my mailing address, but I still find it awe-inspiring!) Thank you so much, Peter and Sarah!
The next thing I saw was this beautiful, huge sticker. I adore stickers! (I have a rather extensive collection [read as obsession] of stickers.) So not I have buttons, Disney, AND stickers!?! My day is made! I think this is a beautiful and perfect sticker with spring right around the corner (although here in Canada we might be getting more snow). I knew immediately that these were the flowers from the Alice in Wonderland animated movies, but when I asked my family if they knew what they were from they had no idea!! I was so surprised! I used to watch this movie with my parents all of the time. I still love it and now have their song stuck in my head. I guess it is time to watch that movie again.
I really love the flower theme for spring! It makes the inside spring even if the outside is having some weather mood swings, one day it is spring weather and the next it snows! I love how there is a Beauty and the Beast button, the rose under the glass. With the Beauty and the Beast live-action remake coming out next month, I find that it is an excellent addition. I will probably wear it when I go to see the movie! My younger brother had to fight over the Wall-E button. It was a movie we both watched all of the time when he was 3-5 years old, up until the disk stopped working. I love this addition because this plant in the boot is a very important meaningful thing from the movie. It is more than just a plant in a boot it is strength. Of course, the Rapunzel flower had to be included, a magical flower that helps to heal definitely fits in with the flower that represents strength. With the world, the way it is strength and healing and love is definitely something that is needed.
The mystery button definitely took me a few moments to get where it came from since it has been so long since I watched Haunted Mansion, but this definition gives me a reason to watch it again. I love the Haunted Mansion, I am slightly disappointed that I did not get it right away. I like it, in theory, I love the movie, and I like buttons, but this specific thing I am unsure if I like it. I am still on the fence.
This is my Plane Crazy Official Member Badge!! I love the fact that they have these member badge things. It is a great addition for this company. I love the name, the meaning behind the name, the letter that looks handwritten, and now these badges. This is just a wonderful couple of people that created something I am glad to have subscriped to. I cannot wait for my next one!
Well, that is all for this one. I love Plane Crazy Button Club! I have so much to check out now!
Have a terrrrific week everyone!
