Wall-E – Teppanyaki Chicken, Burger-In-A-Cup, Pie-In-A-Cup, Septuacentennial Cupcake in a Cup

|

Quick links: Teppanyaki Chicken | Burger-In-A-Cup | Pie-In-A-Cup | Septuacentennial Cupcake in a Cup | Verdict   I love Wall-E. It is such an amazing movie. It’s definitely one of the Pixar movies like Ratatouille that resonates more with adults than children. There is a lot of fattening food in the movie. So get ready to use your own hoverchair after these…

Meet the Robinsons – Spaghetti and Meatballs, Paradise Planet Rainbow Shake, toasted PB&J

|

Meet the Robinsons is kinda like Treasure Planet in that almost everyone who has seen it loves it, but it’s kinda forgotten. I love the movie. I actually think its one of my favorites…at least in the top 15. AND there is a memorable food scene in it when the family has a meatball fight! If you haven’t seen Meet the Robinsons, I suggest to go watch it. If you have seen Meet the Robinsons, go watch it again! It will leave you a happy person. I really wouldn’t mind Disney jumping into the Meet the Robinsons universe again. Even if its not with the same characters. I love the Tomorrowland-esque universe that this movie does way better than the official Tomorrowland movie.

Also, by way of announcement. Next week we’re skipping our normal post to ramp up for our 5 week Ratatouille marathon. But next week, we’re going to be announcing the start of our Patreon. Making all this food gets expensive and to keep going, we would love your support. So get ready for that announcement. There will be some awesome perks for the disneymealers that support us!

Chicken Little – Popcorn, Orange Soda

|

Quick links: Popcorn | Orange Soda | Verdict

 

Chicken Little is the first fully computer animated film from Disney. It is a pretty fun film, but not great in Disney standards. It is definitely good for a few laughs though. We’ve been in kind of a slump lately. There hasn’t been much good food shown in movies. Chicken Little showed some food, but it was food we’ve already made or common food items. But we have a couple quick and easy recipes for you. Popcorn and orange soda. Perfect for your Chicken Little viewing night.

I also wanted to do a shout out to our friends at Dreams To Become. We had the awesome opportunity to join their blog to do a viewing of Winnie the Pooh. We made our shortbread jam cookies and recorded an awesome commentary to the movie. Check it out! and be sure to support their patreon in order to hear the commentary.

I made some popcorn, but not just plain microwave popcorn. I actually made it over the stove! It actually tastes really good. Better than movie theater popcorn.

Chicken Little uses an orange soda jet pack a few times in the movie. It is his preferred mode of transportation.

Will it Save you From an Alien Attack?

So even though the food wasn’t amazing. It is good for a snack and movie night. I’m definitely going to be making stove popcorn more often.

Verdict:

Popcorn – 8.5/10

Orange Soda – 8/10

The Incredibles – Mac and Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Steak, Meatloaf

|

The Incredibles might be the most fun Pixar movie ever made. It’s always a joy watching it. I want to go save the world right after too. There wasn’t too much food, except for the family’s leftover night. I just wonder how much food they make on a regular night because it seemed like almost a full meatloaf, big bowl of mashed potatoes and steak. A full steak. I’ll give Mrs. Incredible the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they had guests that canceled last minute or something.

Brother Bear and Home on the Range – Cowboy Chili

|

Quick links: Cowboy Chili | Verdict

 

I’m sorry to all the hardcore Brother Bear and Home on the Range fans (yes, all three of you), but we’re combining both Brother Bear and Home on the Range. Neither had very much food, and only one of them had makeable food. (Brother Bear had some raw salmon, but you can eat some of the salmon you use for your Monster’s Inc sushi). Nevertheless, we made some really great chili from Home on the Range! This was actually my first time watching Home on the Range. It wasn’t as bad as everyone has put it out to be. But now I have officially seen all of the Walt Disney Studios animated movies! Yay!

Will it Turn you into a Bear and/or a Cow?

Even though Brother Bear and Home on the Range aren’t the best Disney movies, and even though they didn’t have much food, the chili was really good. 

Verdict:

Chili – 8/10

Lilo and Stitch [week 2] – Hawaiian Hamburgers, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Pink Snow Cones, More Tropical Drinks, Massive Chocolate Cake

We’re back with some more space-aged foods from Lilo and Stitch! So get your ohana together and get cooking!

Lilo and Stitch [Week 1] – Loco Moco, Pineapple Shrimp, Berry Smoothie, Cuddles on the Beach & Blue Hawaiian (Virgin), Black Forest Cake

|

I was super excited to do Lilo and Stitch. I love Hawaiian food and assumed that Lilo and Stitch would have lots of Hawaiian food in it. I was wrong. It did have quite a bit of food in it, but no real Hawaiian food. I kinda took some liberties of the less specific foods to Hawaiianize them. Since there was so much food, we’re splitting this up into 2 weeks!

Atlantis – Cowboy Beans, Yellow Curry Chicken

|

We sat down this week and watched the movie Atlantis, a movie almost as forgotten as the actual city. I love the world building in this movie and I wish there was more of it. Atlantis is such a beautiful place. Sadly, most of the food shown is pretty alien. We don’t have access to the fantastical creatures shown in the movie. But we made some inspired recipes that are based off of Southeastern Asia, which is one of the inspirations the film makers used to design Atlantis.
