The toy formally known as Mr Potato Head is now going to be renamed ‘Potato Head’ in order to comply with Gender identification/ non identification. Any thoughts?
My bloke loves it, and I watched it with him, but animation isn't my thing. But you're right, I will do ANYTHING for my GS, so I will give it a go. Thank you for the recommendation.
Gaga Jo when you're back with your little grandson again, and if you get the chance, sit down and watch that film with him. My little boy was about 5 when we saw it when it first came out. He sat through it agog. I remember thinking what a great children's film it was. Possibly a Pixar first so that animation was quite ground breaking then. The dialogue was very clever with adult overtones that went right over the heads of the children it was aimed at.
I think there is a tendency to underestimate the piece of plastic the individual formerly known as Mr Potato Head. I think as potatoes go, he is multi layered, one only has to see that when he they present as a Dauphinoise. Furthermore they are blessed with an intuitiveness that goes beyond the realms of anything Mattel could possibly have imagined. Did they not inform the world of "laser envy" ? even Fraud himself hadn't come up with that one Clearly Potato Head, as he is now known smashed it when he revealed that to an in thrall audience of Toy Story 1.
I used to think that "Woke" was what I did first thing in the morning! We are being bullied my a minority who are determined to take offence at anything. They will try to convince you that the colour of your garage door is racist. They have to little to do, and should get a life! OH and I are old enough to be content with what we have and not to try to dominate everyone else's lives. Now that makes me a Grumpy Old Something (Non gender specific?)
Oh, there was a Mrs. Potato Head around years before Toy Story ever came out. We got a Mrs. Potato Head when I was a child, probably a good five years or so before Toy Story.
Terribull ???
I failed to curtsey to King Edward this evening. He said 'Orf with her head'! So I chopped him and (s)mashed him.
agnurse yes, Toy Story is 1995 and my oldest DD had a Mr PotatoHead in the 1970s. He didn't have a wife
