It’s not always easy being a collector. If you are one of the many out there who, like me, find something they are passionate about and pursue it to the fullest, a lot of time, effort, and money can be spent doing something that others find trivial. For those of us bitten by this bug, it’s not about simply possessing a thing. Anyone can possess a thing, but when you collect something, its more about what that item means to you as a whole. On the surface, I buy the Blu-Rays and DVDs I buy because I am a fan of the film first, and want to enjoy it again in my home.

I am a sucker for animation. From Saturday morning cartoons to epic feature films, I have always been drawn to the medium. Disney movies were staples in my household, and we owned a ton of them. In fact, my current DVD/Blu-Ray collection probably has its roots in how I felt when bringing home a new Disney movie on video. Not only did the package contain the film that I loved, but the glossy, white-rimmed boxes were different from all the other VHS cassettes we had. They were a sight to behold, and though the format has changed over the years, Disney has never disappointed in their home video releases. Always at the forefront of trends, Disney/Pixar’s release of Toy Story 2‘s 3D Combo Pack is a beautiful one.

It feels like only yesterday that Toy Story first came out and changed the world of movies as we know them. A fully-animated feature film? Absolutely unheard of! And it almost never happened, with numerous issues putting to the test the young Pixar Animation team trying to make it. But it did happen, eventually, and computer animated movies have become a staple of modern day cinema.

The movie, for those who have somehow never seen it, follows a young boy’s collection of toys led by the once-favorite, a cowboy named Woody (Tom Hanks), who’s trying to come to terms with the boy’s impressive new favorite toy, the highly sought after Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) action figure.

The Godfather, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Toy Story, Ghostbusters“”these are all considered cinema classics by most. But what one thing could make even these movies a whole lot better? That’s right, Tom Selleck’s Mustache.

Selleck has one of the most famous lip coats Hollywood has ever seen, and the addition of it to the iconic characters of these beloved films only fortifies their unbreakable legacies.

You can see a video showing a bunch of movies””including the ones above and many more…like Raiders of the Lost Ark, very fittingly“”with the Selleck ‘stache added by clicking on over to the other side now.

While the weekend doesn’t normally bring the largest amount of news, this weekend was far different. Thanks to Disney and their D23 convention, not only has the world seen new footage from the Marvel and Disney production The Avengers, but Pixar has also enlightened us with the premise for a brand new Toy Story short film.

First, The Avengers was a major player at this year’s convention, as a new sizzle reel premiered, giving attendees a look at quite a bit of footage. Our friends over at /Film attended the expo, and have gone out of their way to post a description of the footage, which you can read an excerpt of here after the break.
