'I will pick up the hook.
You will see something new.
Two things and I call them
Thing One and Thing Two.
These Things will not bite you.
They want to have fun.'
- From “Cat In The Hat” by Dr. Seuss
Thing One and Thing Two are two characters from The Cat in the Hat book written by Dr. Seuss. It’s a rainy day and Dick and Sally can’t find anything to do . . . until the Cat in the Hat unexpectedly appears and turns their dreary afternoon into a fun-filled extravaganza! Thing One and Thing Two were released from the box that the cat brought in to show to Conrad, Sally, and the fish. The Things caused mischief by flying kites in the house which bumps the wall and also knocking down everything in their path. Conrad was able to stop the things with a net. They were also taken away by the Cat who put them back in the box. As of now they appear in the TV series "The Cat in the Hat Knows Alot About That!" voiced by Rob Tinkler.
This Halloween costume to copy Russell from "Up" motion picture is an easy costume to create and you can add your own touch to the outfit like different badges, troop number.
"Up" is a 3D computer-animated children adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2009.
Russell was missing the "Assisting the Elderly" Wilderness Patch, the last one to put him in the rank of Senior Wilderness Explorer. He showed up at Mr. Carl Fredricksen 's doorstep, hoping to help him in crossing something to assist him in order to earn the badge. Carl, a widower, tried to get rid of Russell so he could fulfill his lifelong dream, flying away to the South American wilderness by tying 10,000 colorful helium balloons to his house. Carl soon found Russell persistently holding on for dear life waiting for Carl to let him inside the house. The reluctant Carl ended up taking Russel on to his amazing skyward journey to Paradise Falls. Although Russel got weary easily because of his weight, he showed great braveness throughout the story, even saved Carl from the evil Charles Muntz on Charles’ flagship airship “The Spirit of Adventure”. At the end of the film, Russell received his "Assisting the Elderly" Wilderness merit badge, presented by Carl.
Many favorite Halloween costumes have been derived from the Star Wars movies. Princess Leia is one of the popular Halloween costume for adults as well as kids.
In "Star Wars" series, Princess Leia was the one of the rebel alliance’s greatest leaders to Restore the Republic, a former member of the Imperial Senate, and a member of the Royal Family of Alderaan. It was common knowledge throughout the court that Leia was adopted into the Royal Family. What wasn't common knowledge was that Leia was born to Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi pupil who succumbed to the dark side and became Darth Vader. She was one of a set of twins, born in secrecy and protected from Vader and the Emperor. The Jedi hero and general, Obi-Wan Kenobi, saw to it that Leia was secretly transported to the planet Alderaan, where she was to be raised by Kenobi's friend Bail Organa. The boy, Luke, was taken to the distant world of Tatooine. Leia has few memories of her true mother, Padmé Amidala. All that Leia can recall was that she was beautiful, but sad.
Leia was a driven, dedicated individual. She has a forceful, abrasive personality. She was professional in all aspects, but occasionally relaxed her guard to let her strong compassion and quirky sense of humor show.
Leia was played by Carrie Frances Fisher in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977–83) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). She was a petite, fair-skinned human female with brown eyes, and long brown hair that she often wears in an elaborate fashion.
The duo Hiccup and Toothless characters in "How to Train Your Dragon" series is a tough Halloween costume to create. In this picture, Hiccup was in his flight suit he designed to use when flying with Toothless in battles. It surely didn’t look as an easy task to design a Halloween costume set to resemble to this duo Hiccup and Toothless. That didn’t stop a family from creating this amazing mobile set using the boy’s wheelchair as Toothless. Kudos to their creativity and love!
Hiccup and Toothless are the main characters in an animated action fantasy film “How to Train Your Dragon” which was released in 2010, produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The story was based on the British book series of the same name by Cressida Cowell. The film was directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, who also directed Disney's Lilo & Stitch. The film's success has also inspired other merchandise, including a video game and a TV series.
Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) was a Norse teenager from the island of Berk, where fighting dragons was a way of life. His progressive views and weird sense of humor make him a misfit, despite the fact that his father (voiced by Gerard Butler) is chief of the clan. Tossed into dragon-fighting school, he endeavored to prove himself as a true Viking, but when he befriended an injured dragon he named Toothless, he had the chance to plot a new course for his people's future.
Ladies and gentlemen, open your treat bags to this green Sergeant cause we are sure that he’d love to get lots of candies when he’s not on duty.
Plastic army men toys have been American traditional toys for generations. But the animated movie “Toy Story” has made them even more appealing to kids because these green army men came alive in action. The Green Army Men were Andy's 200 miniature green plastic soldiers. They are set in particular positions and stuck to bases and are stored in a bucket labeled Bucket O' Soldiers. The soldiers are quite disciplined with a "Leave no man behind" policy and are masters of reconnaissance. Woody describes them as "professionals."
Sergeant (or simply Sarge, voiced by R. Lee Ermey), was the gung-ho commander of the Green Army Men, Andy's miniature plastic soldiers in the Toy Story series. He is loyal to Woody, and under his orders, sent his troops on different missions, most commonly reconnaissance.
Sarge was made holding a pistol and binoculars, which he uses when scouting out an area for humans, or getting a closer look at presents.
Argh!!! How cute is this monster? Or should we say “how scary” she is in her favorite monster Halloween costume!
Set in an alternate dimension run by monsters, Monsters Inc. features monsters working in the Monsters, Inc. factory where monsters enter the Human World to scare children so their screams can power the Monster World. However, when a human girl named Boo enters their world, top scarer James P. Sullivan and his assistant Mike Wazowski must return her.
The costume was inspired by the main character, a monster named Sulley James P. Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman) in the movie “Monster Inc” produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2001.
The popularity and success of "The Lord of the Rings" franchise has inspired many Halloween costume designers to create fun and fancy outfits. Some costumes are also easy enough to be re-created at home like this kid in his Halloween costume as Frodo.
Frodo Baggins is an epic high-fantasy novel “The Lord of the Rings” written by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. Though the outfit can be easily copied, but the hair, the expression, ... are also part of this epic Halloween costume. Frodo Baggins, son of Drogo Baggins, was a hobbit of the Shire during the Third Age, the most famous of all Hobbits in the histories for his leading role in the Quest of the Ring. During this epic quest, he bore the One Ring to Mount Doom and there destroyed it, giving him renowned like no other Halfling throughout Middle-earth. Frodo, as described by Gandalf, was "taller than some and fairer than most, with a cleft in his chin: perky chap with a bright eye." (The Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 10, "Strider"). He had thick, curly brown hair like most other hobbits, and had lighter-than-usual skin due to his Fallohide ancestry through his Brandybuck mother. Frodo is described as appearing thirty-three, even when he is fifty, due to the influence of the Ring.
Harry Potter is a series of magical fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels chronicle the life of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The story tells the struggle of an orphanage teen coming of age, coming from a “Muggles” world and entering the life of a wizard, fighting the most powerful wizard of all time, the Dark Lord Voldemort, who tried to kill Harry Potter to gain the immortality.
The British-American film series was distributed by Warner Bros. and consisted of eight fantasy films, beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and culminating with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011). Production took over ten years to complete, was produced by David Heyman and stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.
The casting team had done an amazing job of casting Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter because his look, his facial description stay very true to as described in the books.
Daniel Radcliffe has outgrown his boyhood character. Could this little scruffy hair boy in his wizard uniform play Harry Potter next? Undoubtedly!
We save the best for last!
Don’t be scared, be inspired!
