Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.
In honor of Mother’s Day today, we’re dedicating today’s edition of Doom Digest to all things Mother’s Day.
Brave – Happy Mother’s Day
Disney released a sweet Mother’s Day featurette for their upcoming animated film Brave.
Duffy the Disney Bear – I Love Mom
The Disney theme parks are now offering Duffy the Disney Bear editions with bears wearing t-shirts that read “I Love Mom” – with the “o” in love as a Mickey icon. It doesn’t have to be Mother’s Day to tell your mom you love her.
TV Land aired their Mother’s Day episode of Happily Divorced, which guest-starred Rosie O’Donnell as Fran’s (Fran Drescher) childhood friend. Watch a clip from the episode here below and watch the full episode online over at TV Land.
Friend Of Doom Michael Mid Knight posted this “Baby Mine” video from Disney’s Dumbo because he wants to make us cry. Watch and cry :D
Superhero Mother’s Day Cards
Comics Alliance created 9 Mother’s Day cards from some of our favorite superheroes to their own moms. Here’s one of the nine just below (see another one all the way at the bottom).
