Now being a NorCaler, I ain't familiar with all your fancy Lagunas and Oaks and such, but I do sure hear stories of that magical freeway called the 5. <a href="http://www.vegalleries.com/old_site/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.vegalleries.com/old _site/index.html</a> Here's the official German site: <a href="http://www.andreasdeja.de/" target="_blank">http://www.andreasdeja.de/</a> And the AWESOME original art of Lilo taking a picture of Gaston, Scar and Jafar. I heard it went for about $180. <a href="http://www.andreasdeja.de/grafiken/dejalted-big.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.andreasdeja.de/graf iken/dejalted-big.jpg</a> I think I am going to cry now.

Totally cool. Andreas also does Mickey and Triton, but I don't think they would have fit in the picture. RagtimeGal attended the event and said that "Deja mentioned that he liked Gaston with the mustache and so he offered to Photoshop it in for the Blu-Ray." I find that interesting...if and/or when Disney is going to have their animated films on HD DVD and/or BluRay. Hmmmm...I wonder if I can get away with using that pic for my MySpace profile.
