ZOINKS!! 👻 Hanna-Barbera pitch board art that helped to sell Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! to CBS executives in 1969: this concept became the genesis for a famous episode "The Ghost of Captain Cutler" (S1 E3)

riveted by this disneyland concept art. the powerfully intense oil painting filter, the huge amount of sharpening, the hand-drawn "artist concept only", and a boat full of people looking at everything BUT the actual new thing (Rapunzel's Tower)

The fonts are where the early 1980s collide with the mid-1980s! In fact, maybe they're a little ahead of the curve vs. a lot of advertising back then

Besides the artifice of A.I. thumbnail art, I really hate how visiting their parks has turned into an arduous tiring marathon and/or some shallow contest for bragging rights.

WTF

Screenshot of the Disney Parks YouTube channel promoting a Dude Perfect video with a thumbnail including an AI Mickey with teeth.

He went to every Disney Park and couldn't get one real photo of himself for the thumbnail?

Apparently a temporary promotion, but feels pretty wayward 😅

😂 Right! Only *some* can opt to do so—I guess this is a temporary promotion, but the concept is kind of cringe

Dan Cunningham @honudan.bsky.social · 7d

I bet it wasn't planned as a limited time thing prior to all the Cracker Barrel flare-ups 😂

Heard it on the radio thinking it was some kind of parody/satire/marketing stunt, but *apparently* it's legit... like, they think more consumers are trending to apartment living? It's going to be a dumpster fire... I never even related their "house" to an actual home

Maxwell House rebranding to Maxwell Apartment = Cracker Barrel 2.0 level fallout 🚨☕️🚨

NewsNation @newsnation.bsky.social · 7d

Maxwell House coffee has changed its name for the first time in 133 years, rebranding to "Maxwell Apartment" to recognize Americans "opting for apartment living."
