The Good Dinosaur Giveaway! UPDATED With Winner!

The excitement for The Good Dinosaur is really starting to build! A couple weeks ago was the bloggers press event, and last week Pixar released a new trailer for the film. We're only a little more than a month away from its theatrical release!

I was very fortunate to go to the Pixar studio last month. It had nothing to do with The Good Dinosaur press event; rather it was due to the amazing thoughtfulness of my friends Santi and Laura, and the generosity of Pixar Supervising Animator Victor Navone and his wonderful wife Candy. I had a great time, and was able to meet some Pixar legends like Ralph Eggleston and Bob Peterson.

While there, we of course had to stop at the Pixar Studio Store. At that time they didn't have much Good Dino merchandise, but they did have some cool t-shirts and I picked up a few. So with the film just a few weeks away, I thought it would be fun to give one away in a Good Dino giveaway!

This is a women's medium Arlo tee. It a soft tee with the film's protagonist on the front. The word "Pixar" is on the left sleeve, and on the back is the film's title. I just love the minimal, clean design. What a great way to show your Pixar spirit at The Good Dinosaur theatrical release!

So how do you win this Pixar Studio Store shirt? Hopefully it's not too tough, just fill out the form below and hit submit! There are a couple of rules.

Congratulations to Jenny Y. on winning the contest!

As part of the contest I asked, "Which upcoming Pixar film are you most excited for". Perhaps not surprising, The Good Dinosaur was the overwhelming favorite, taking in over 55%. Next was very close with The Incredibles 2 coming in at 18% and Finding Dory at 16%. Coco only received 9% of the votes, which surprised me.

ThisDayInPixar Giveaway Details! UPDATED With Winner

As I mentioned earlier, I thought the fact that I had reached 2000 followers at about the time that I would be in Disney World lent itself well to a giveaway. So here I am in Disney World and I think it's time for the giveaway!

To celebrate 2000 followers, I'm giving away a Finding Nemo tumbler. This travel mug has a stainless steel interior and comes with wonderfully cute seagulls artwork and the seagulls favorite (only?) word, "Mine". The tumbler has a twist-off lid and slide-lock sipper.  Note, it is not microwave or dishwasher safe, and should be thoroughly washed before first use.

The rules for entering the giveaway are simple! To enter, you must be at least 18 years of age and live in the 48 contiguous United States. If you are under 18, you can have a parent enter. Only one entry per person will be accepted. Multiple submissions will be ignored. No purchase necessary to enter. The giveaway starts NOW and will end Friday, April 3, 2015 at 11:00pm Eastern Standard Time. One random winner will be chosen and contacted via the email address used to enter the contest. Once the winner claims their prize, I will announce it here in this post and on Twitter.

Thanks to everyone who entered!

Announcing The First Ever ThisDayInPixar Giveaway!!

I've just crossed 2000 followers! Wow, what a milestone! Time is one of our most precious commodities, and the fact that you follow me and spend a few minutes of your time reading my posts, well,  I am very grateful.

To show my appreciation, I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway. The timing is perfect, as I will be at the Walt Disney World Resort in a little over a week. Once there I'll find some Pixar-related merchandise (I'm hoping there's some Inside Out merch!), then announce the details of the giveaway on Twitter and this blog. So keep an eye on my Twitter feed, and again, thank you!!
