A Bug's Land

Today on DF'82, Princess Fee invites us all to enjoy a moment in DCA's A Bug's Land.
(Go take a peek now if you haven't had a chance to yet).

Being a fan of all things Pixar, I was inspired to post a few Bug's Land images I captured back in December, 2007.

Although limited in scope and scale, this area seems to echo some of Pixar's creative spirit. To paraphrase John Lasseter, Pixar films are built on a three-prong foundation: story, characters, and environment. Pixar's "A Bug's Life" delivers all three, and DCA's "A Bug's Land" allows us to step into the environment and take closer look at some of it's memorable characters.

You can see more images from my visit to A Bug's Land on flickr.

Lasseter Family Winery

Let's take a brief break from our Disney Cruise series.

I just saw this item about the Lasseter Family Winery on Upcoming Pixar, and it reminded me that I had seen evidence of this when I was in Disneyland in 2007:

In a window at Cafe Orleans (in New Orleans Square) I spotted a curious wine bottle:

If you take a closer look at the image you can see the Lasseter label on one of the bottles, featuring John's creation Wally B.

(Or you can head over to Upcoming Pixar, where they have a much cleaner version of the logo).
