Once upon a dream

Once upon a time there were two brothers who had the dream to create a little film studio where they would make Laugh-o-Grams and Alice Comedies for all the little boys and girls. In 1923 they scraped their money together, purchased a studio in Hollywood and began making short cartoons.

By 1934, the pair had created two successful cartoon series and Walter, the younger brother, had started plans to create the first full-length animated film. Roy, the elder brother, tried to talk Walter out of his folly, but Walter pressed on and in 1937 "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was shown to bedazzled audiences.

Whether you like it or dislike it, make the best of Valentine's Day

The air is filled with corny pink hearts and arrow-shooting babies. The only sounds are couples smooching in the hallways and Taylor Swift songs playing on the radio. Suddenly it dawns on the unsuspecting victim -- it's Valentine's Day!

Oh, can it get any worse?! Just when there appears to be no hope for the poor defenseless victim, the school doors slam open and in walk ... the single people, with bats slung over their shoulders and giant heart-shaped piñatas in their hands. That's right, it's Anti-Valentine's time!
