Disney’s First Vinylmation Film Creates A Blank Canvas For Life

Disney’s Vinylmation figures have quickly grown to become a trend all their own for Disney enthusiasts world wide. Since their introduction in November 2008, over 23 series have been released which fans of the miniature Mickey-Mouse shaped vinyl collectables have quickly snatched up to keep and trade both in Disney theme parks at designated trading locations as well as online. Similar in fashion to the Disney pin trading, park enthusiasts have been known to show off their Vinylmation favorites, take pictures of their characters at the parks, and collect as many as possible. One aspect the Vinylmation characters have above the pin trading trend however, is the introduction of the Create Your Own series. 

Blank 3 inch and 9 inch Vinylmation figures come in a variety of colors including white and glow-in-the-dark and allow buyers to have a three-dimensional canvas to draw, paint and apply their own designs to their Vinylmation, creating their own one-of-a-kind piece of Disney art. While these specialty vinyls are not accepted for trade at Disney Parks the demand for these cute customizable critters is high, with Vinylmation fans all wanting to have a Create Your Own vinyl themselves. 

While everyone may not have their own blank Vinylmation, these lovable collectables can still make their way into your home for free, through downloading Disney’s first Vinylmation film, “Blank: A Vinylmation Love Story.”

Available exclusively on Google play, Google’s online store offering digital movies, books, music, apps, games and more, this 38 minute stop-motion animation film tells the story of Blank, an unpainted Vinylmation, on an epic adventure through an original new world to find his lost soulmate. 

Completely wordless, I recently watched this silent film on my computer and instantly fell in love with the idea of having a blank canvas for life. Having only music for narration, this film is great for both Disney enthusiasts and stop-animation fans especially. Exploring the ideas of friendship, love, creativity, adventure and identity, Blank motivates the concepts of creating a positive outcome out of any situation, and finding peace with who you are instead of what you assume others want you to be.
