Now Playing: Walt Disney Studios “Snow White” (3/21/2025)

March 21, 2025 kenpierce Leave a comment

While I am a tad surprised that a release such as Disney’s “Snow White” didn’t seem to merit a second or even final trailer before its release day today, that is how it panned out. If you’ve been following the reports on the giant entertainment news feeds you already know that its not arrived without some controversary but that being said Disney’s “Snow White”, the live-action retelling of the classic firm has opened in theaters everywhere. Down below you’ll find the basic premise, official art and some expanded casting. If you somehow missed our post about the Official Trailer just click the hyperlinked text to see that first. Enjoy.

Premise: A princess joins forces with seven dwarfs to liberate her kingdom from her cruel stepmother the Evil Queen. A live-action adaptation of the 1937 Disney animated film ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. (C/O imdb)

Today: The Affordable Art Fair, Spring 2025 Begins @ Metropolitan Pavilion

March 19, 2025 kenpierce Leave a comment

Good afternoon my art loving members of the readership, I’m pausing from the regular flow of the website to make sure that you were aware of the fact that the Affordable Art Fair, Spring edition for the year will be starting today at the Metropolitan Pavilion. This fair has been taking place at the Met Pavilion for quite some time and I should point out that today’s part of the schedule is their VIP and Media Preview. That means the general public needs to wait until it opens up to everyone beginning tomorrow and in case you are feeling left out, let me tell you that I don’t attend this preview either. I’ve had artists tell me that its so crowded that its on the tricky side to navigate and I’d rather be attending and being able to get photographs and videos done. Now if you are not too up on this particular art show, you can pay a visit to our Official YouTube Channel and poke around on the embedded playlist. At the time of my making this announcement, I can tell you that there are more than “300” videos so far with plenty more to come if I can get artists to talk to me.

Netflix Presents “Happy Gilmore 2” Official Teaser

March 18, 2025 kenpierce Leave a comment

There are so many great comedy films from Adam Sandler to choose from but “Happy Gilmore” is probably his biggest hit of the bunch. Now it’s not the kind of film that one would expect a sequel being done for but nowadays such a practice is commonplace. This leads me to the news that a sequel is indeed coming and to Netflix who just dropped the teaser clip. Check that out down below along with a basic premise and casting.

The Premise: Twenty-nine years after winning his first Tour Championship, retired golfer Happy Gilmore returns to the sport to pay for his daughter Vienna’s ballet school (c/o Wiki).

Exhibitor Spotlight from Toy Fair 2025: Spin Master Part One

March 16, 2025 kenpierce Leave a comment

Greetings my good friends, I’m back to present you with my findings from the Toy Association’s Toy Fair once again. The trade show itself ended about two weeks ago and while having attended for the PiercingMetal side of the fence, I found myself securing a number of images and vendors to add several posts here on “The Chronicles”. I’m now up to the Spin Master booth because they had a number of items that fit this sides demographic. Here we go.

Given the scope of the offerings and my own limited background on a number of them I will keep the extended narrative light and just let you enjoy. Plus I need the break since I am also doing posts over on PiercingMetal as well. Those posts began even earlier than the ones that I am sharing here but I digress.

The Unicorn Academy is a charming line of unicorn themed figures, unicorns and playsets. It’s based on a popular Netflix animated series. They were all so charming.

Piercing Ken’s Scenes from Toy Fair 2025: Hot For Holiday

March 15, 2025 kenpierce Leave a comment

As I continue along with the observations from the recently held Toy Fair over at the Javits Center and keep you visually entertained with my findings for the readers of “The Chronicles”, I’m taking a pause once again from the exhibitors to share another special exhibit like the “Hot For Holiday” display.

The “Hot For Holiday” items are the picks from the Toy Association that they feel you should know about as you explore the show. Remember that this is a trade show and hence not open to the general public so its up to those folks in the media like myself and our colleagues to report on them or even visit the exhibitor that is being showcased in the area. This presentation was also set up in the Crystal Palace and I was not going to bypass including it here. Once again I will mostly be silent during this particular post and if you need more information you can do that with a succinct Google search. Let’s do this.
