For all those who spent time taking the kiddies or nieces and nephews to the movies.
You’ve Got A Friend In Me from Toy Story
Toy Story was one of the better animated kids movies along with Nemo, Ice Age and Despicable Me. And I did see a few of them over the years!!

Yes, well I know someone said it and thought I read it in one of Jacks books. Could've been Peardy even, will do some checking. Always thought it hilarious.

IT WILL be the game's night of nights in its centenary season, the biggest event in the code's biggest year - but one of the greatest stars of the occasion won't be going.
Arthur Beetson, the Immortal who is almost certain to be picked in the most exclusive side ever named, the Team of the Century, said last night he would snub the gala ball because of the direction the game was headed, launching a stinging attack on the game's administrators.
"I won't be there," the former Balmain, Easts and Parramatta forward said. "I'm just disappointed with what's happened in our game. They [organisers] know I'm not going. I hate getting dressed up in black tie anyway - trying to get a suit to fit. If it was shorts and thongs, maybe I might have turned up. But I won't be there. I've got more important things to do."
Asked what he would be doing, he said: "I'm not sure at the moment."
Beetson, who skippered Queensland to victory in the first State of Origin and is one of the greatest forwards to have played the game, was always known for his offload, but tonight the talking point may be his unload. It will be a major embarrassment that Beetson will not be attending, however it will be compounded by his decision to take a swipe at the state of the game as well.
"We're celebrating a hundred years. I've got to be honest, we've got some heroes in our game but they're certainly not administrators," he said. "They could be pouring money into the game elsewhere. There are so many problems within our game. The referees are an enormous problem. You've got people supposedly teaching the referees who don't have a clue. But the biggest problem is they keep tinkering with our game.
"They want to do this, they want to do that. And this is the only code where the referees encourage the players to cheat - to put the ball into the second row. We should be ashamed of ourselves to be calling a scrum a scrum."
Of the obstruction rules, he said: "I don't know what the interpretation is any more. The game I played and the game they referee are two different games. Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I'm just being honest. Don't get me wrong, I still love the game. I've loved it since I was six years old. I still think it's the greatest game in the world - despite what we've done to it."
Beetson also maintained the function should have been held at the SCG and been free to the public.
"Everyone could wear a jumper of their choice," he said. "If we really think it's the people's game, that's what we should have done to celebrate 100 years of rugby league. I reckon they would have got 50,000 at the cricket ground just for this event. They could have made it a real rugby league event."
Beetson was named the game's seventh Immortal in 2003, and is a compelling choice to be a starting front-rower in the side named tonight. But asked how he would feel if he missed out, he said: "I really don't give a shit. At the end of the day, it's just a matter of opinion. You know what they say about opinions - they're like arseholes, everyone's got one. It'd be nice to be acknowledged, but I care more about the direction of the game. There are bigger issues around than worrying about a football side."
Still, it is almost certain that one, or even two, of the seven Immortals will not make the starting side, with five backs chosen as the best post-war players by Rugby League Week.
"I'd say it's very likely that one of them will miss the starting side," said David Middleton, the league historian and a member of the 28-strong panel. "It'll be remarkable but it's inevitable."
Clive Churchill AM faces opposition from Graeme Langlands at fullback, while Langlands is also battling for a centre spot with competition from fellow Immortals Reg Gasnier and Bob Fulton as well as Dally Messenger, Dave Brown and Steve Rogers. If not picked in the centres, Fulton could also find himself on the bench with Wally Lewis favoured for five-eighth.
"I'm comfortable with being mentioned in the same breath as any of the players that are under consideration," Fulton said yesterday.
Langlands was similarly philosophical, saying: "If I make it, I make it. If I miss out, I miss out."
The voting was carried out last December, with the panel discussing positions for almost three hours before voting in election-style cardboard booths. Organisers will give team members the option of choosing a captain tonight.
The panel: Ferris Ashton, Frank Stanton, David Middleton, Cyril Connell, John Hayes, John McDonald, Chris Anderson, Greg Alexander, Mark Coyne, Ron Massey, Ian Heads, Sean Fagan, Geoff Armstrong, Ken Arthurson, John Quayle, Geoff Carr, Ray Chesterton, Roy Masters, Steve Ricketts, Gary Lester, Alan Clarkson, John McCoy, David Morrow, Kevin Brasch, Max Howell, Warren Kimberley, Russell Fairfax and David Gallop (non-voting chairman).
