Tan says he found his inspiration from old Disneyland attraction posters – something the Pixar guys are allegedly obsessed with. To differentiate the new Wall-E prints from his last line of The Incredibles art, Tan decided to go for a 1950s advertisement twist. Get your own at Acme Direct or, if you'd rather risk jail than spend $165, steal them from the walls of the main lobby of Pixar Animation Studios. [Slashfilm]

Out on June 1 in Japan, the Stitch CD player, which runs either off the mains or on eight AA batteries, will cost around $90. [Far East Gizmos]

Not surprisingly to Shimuzu, they have been getting more than their share of complaints from the more hardcore of the Astro Boy fan-base. So, why the added girth? Tezuka Productions Copyright Division head Yoshihiru Shimuzu offers a suggestion, "Once upon a time, Americans never ate raw fish, but now they really want to find a delicious sushi. In the same way, we want the collaboration that led to 'AvoCali (Astro Boy)' to take the character worldwide." Avocali is the nick name for this variant, and it's a reference to the Avocado California rolls many Americans think is real sushi. So to get this straight, Japan's Astro Boy was made fat and ugly to better relate to foreign devils? Astro boy was the inspiration for Japan's Atom project, a $446 million attempt to recreate the total abilities of a 5-year old in a robot. Is this any way to treat him? [Mainichi]

Here's an enormously entertaining little video that took thousands of times longer to make than it does to watch. Created by an animator who calls himself "sketch (537CH)", he says it took six weeks to create this Paper Mario Animation. We like the way he moved the paper cutouts over the crayon-colored backgrounds, resulting in accurate and realistic-looking Mario action. Nice work. [Daily Motion, via CrunchGear]

Funwari Milk-chan, in the center, is easy-going, but would like to be bigger than she is. Likes: collagen, sleeping. Top left is Can Milk-san is a wannabe celeb with an American boyfriend (that'll be Chen, then) who loves beauty salons.

Below her is Ganguro Milk-chan who, despite her pierced nipple is mature and level-headed. Loves dancing, apparently. Peach Milk-chan is an arachnophobic fashion victim who's pretty frightening when she's angry, is up on current affairs and loves low-brow stuff — um, sounds like me. Finally Miko-chan is the baby of the group, and a total genius. She loves to invent things, and her brain is in her pacifier.

Their official website is rather fabulous, full of slightly odd drawings of boobs standing on each other and toppling over, boobs in sunglasses, singing boobs as well as boobs beating their friends at Halo 3 cartoon strips of the Milk Village quintet's exploits. They cost around $9 each in, yep, Japan. And before you accuse me of being sensationalist, I would just like to say that I was made to write that headline by one of our editors.

If we could have a crush on a podcast, we would be totally crushing out right now all over the recently launched ReFrederator, which puts out a classic cartoon every single day. Some of them star the likes of Bugs Bunny, Mighty Mouse, Daffy Duck, Betty Boop, Porky Pig, Donald Duck and Felix the Cat—ah, the beauty of things returning to the public domain—and others feature fairy tales and musicals.

Each week of cartoons will have a theme, and this first week's is Mother Goose. If ReFrederator takes requests, we here at Gizmodo are selfishly hoping for a best of Fritz Freleng week sometime soon!
