\"\"<\/a>McDonald\u2019s is doing Super Mario Galaxy Movie toys in their Happy Meals this month\u00a0 I got a few of them, so let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n

After all these years, it\u2019s nice to know that McDonald\u2019s is still using the Happy Meal boxes with the golden arch handles!\u00a0 Here\u2019s a bigger picture of the one with Mario on the box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They had other characters, too.\u00a0 Here\u2019s one with Yoshi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally one with Princess Peach.\u00a0 What is with that expression on her face?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even the apple slice packets had Mario characters on them.\u00a0 Here\u2019s Mario.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s Yoshi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the display at the McDonald\u2019s with all the toys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The toys come in these cute little Question Block boxes.\u00a0 Which one will you get?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are the ones I\u2019ve gotten so far.\u00a0 There\u2019s Mario, Fire Mario, Frog Suit Luigi, and Wonder Bowser Jr.\u00a0 A relative of mine got me Peach, but I haven\u2019t seen her yet as of this writing, so I don\u2019t have a picture of that one.\u00a0 I hope I get Toad, as he\u2019s my favorite Mario character.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One neat thing you can do with the toys is flip the bottom star shaped stand on its side, and then rotate it around and make it be a keychain clip thing.\u00a0 Very functional.\u00a0 I could see McDonald\u2019s using this idea for future toys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did see the Mario Galaxy movie with my brother at one of those movie theaters where they serve food while you watch the movie.\u00a0 The one we went to was called Studio Movie Grill and they had a special Mario Galaxy themed menu.\u00a0 Most of it was kids meal stuff and drinks, but we did get the \u201cMeteor\u201d (Meatier) Pepperoni Pizza and Loaded Comet Bites (which were just cheesy tots).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what did I think of the movie?\u00a0 Well I did have fun as it was a great looking movie visually and the music was also top notch.\u00a0 It had a lot of fun references and easter eggs and moved at a brisk pace.\u00a0 But I can certainly understand why critics may have not liked it.\u00a0 There was no plot or character development.\u00a0 My personal problem with the movie is one I have with a lot of movies: they showed way too much in the trailers.\u00a0 I felt like I had seen 75 percent of the movie already.\u00a0 I\u2019d say this movie is only good if you are a huge Mario fan or have kids with very short attention spans.\u00a0 And maybe try and see this movie at a discounted price at a matinee or something.\u00a0 Movies at full price are way too expensive nowadays.\u00a0 Anyway, that\u2019s all for now!\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
