A '90s classic, the movie remains a fun trip down memory lane and is equally enjoyable for kids today thanks to its timeless use of toilet humour and slapstick gags.

© Provided by Providence Journal A boy and a whole lot of toys. Author Vanessa Lillie lives in Providence with her husband and young son. She is writing a diary regularly for The Providence Journal. Entry Five: Bless This Mess A few months ago, I hit my limit. When my son was at school, I donated bags and bags of toys that had collected over four years in our living room. I wanted one, just one, room in our house that was toy free. Guess how that's going now? Once the quarantine started, the toys have crept back from every room in the house (because there are literally toys in every room). Rather than get mad (or after I got mad and calmed down), I'm now giving myself permission to let it go. Let it go. Let it go. If you have young kids or grandkids, I'm sure you've heard Elsa from "Frozen" sing "Let It Go" once or twice (or fifty times). But there's some wisdom for parents as we sit like the kings and queens of quara...

© Pixar - Disney Disney Plus has now launched in the UK, so Toy Story fans can watch new short Lamp Life that reveals Bo Peep's missing years. Toy Story 4 brought back Bo Peep after she was absent in the third movie, but didn't explain what happened to her beyond being given to the "next kid". A new Toy Story short, Lamp Life, on Disney+ covers Bo's missing years though, so we now have an explanation for how (and why) Bo went from Andy's house to the playground where Woody reunited with her. The short opens shortly after the fourth movie ended with Woody filling Bo and Giggle McDimples in on what he's been up to. But Giggle tells him that his story is nothing compared to what Bo's been through. © Pixar - Disney Lamp Life, Disney+ short, Bo Peep SHOP NOW Sign up for Disney+ So we flash back to Bo's life after she left Woody and went to a new house where the little girl "loved us". Her life was goo...

FireFrog sat in his home in Spain in the summer of 2012 and opened YouTube to watch a three-hour interview between content producer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel and esports commentator James "2GD" Harding. Talking to itmeJP via Skype, 2GD was in his bedroom, with his bed covered in red-and-orange tile sheets and an Inter Milan flag draping his wall in the background. 2GD -- the first hire of Twitch's new European office -- discussed his career, which had spanned professional competition, team management for Fnatic, commentating in Dota, Quake and other games, and creating and developing content for the then-young startup livestreaming company. As FireFrog listened, one statement caught his ear: 2GD wanted to make a game. FireFrog, who has never disclosed his real full name online, had never built a game to release, but in 2012, he took a sabbatical from his job and dug his teeth into learning more about game development. He knew coding -- he worked in enterprise and bus...

Click to expand UP NEXT Video provided by The Independent During its three decades on the air, The Simpsons has become famous for its social commentary, its impressive roster of celebrity guest stars and, of course, its zany sense of humour. Interestingly, though, in recent years it's also proved to be something of an oracle. Fans of The Simpsons have pointed out a number of things featured in episodes of the animated sitcom that have, in later years, come to fruition in the real world. Perhaps the most famous of these so-called Simpsons "predictions" is Donald Trump's presidency, which the show first joked about in Bart To The Future (2000). © 20th Century From Trump to coronavirus: What else did The Simpsons see coming? The episode – which aired 20 years ago – included a sequence set in the future, which saw Lisa taking over as US leader from an off-screen "President Trump", ...

caption Furby took over the 90s. source The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images) Lots of people have million-dollar ideas, but people rarely act on them. Mistakes, too, can sometimes even mean millions – if the timing is right. For entrepreneurs, one good idea can prove extraordinarily fruitful – even if it's as silly as something like the Snuggie. The Slinky, for example, was born after a naval engineer made a clumsy mistake; meanwhile, the infamous Furby was crafted after its creator was introduced to Tamagotchis, and felt an overwhelming urge to pet it. Here are some of the wildest ideas that left innovators with millions of dollars. Beanie Babies, created by Ty Warner in 1993, were the plush, bean-filled toy fad of the 90s. Warner's Ty Inc. reportedly made $700 million in one year, selling the Beanies for $5 a piece. By 1999, the company had over $1 billion in sales. Warner made the decision to not sell the toys at nationwide chains like Toys-...
