Mind Candy

Last night Mind Candies got the privilege of a exclusive UK screening of Being Elmo: A Puppeteers Journey at the Rich Mix Cinema. Michael Acton Smith, being a huge Jim Henson fan, met with the producers of the film recently arranging a sneak peek! The film walks through of the life’s work of Kevin Clash, best known for his work with Sesame Street and being the famous puppeteer for the beloved and famous character Elmo. We laughed, we cried, we spilled our popcorn, and left with a renewed appreciation for the cuddly, bubbly, little puppet that at one time or another stole all our hearts.

Moshi TV members Brad and Jason, joined the Innovation First team down in Hollywood this past weekend on the set of the Moshi Bobble Bots toys ‘commercial.’  On the set, were the all new amazing Moshi Monsters Bobble Bots, along with 4 talented child actors and full production crew.  In the commercial, the girls will be shrunk down to Bobble Bots size and placed within the world of Monstro City!  The commercial should air on all major kids broadcasters this Spring.

In the photos are Innovation First’s CEO Tony Norman, Chief Marketing Officer Joel Carter, Jason and Brad from Moshi TV.

I went to the Trafford Centre in Manchester today to check out ‘The Moshi Bus!’

Keen Moshi fans and parents, armed with their favourite Moshi cards/figures/toys had been queuing up for about an hour before we started!

The Moshi Bus crew kept some of the kids occupied by doing some ‘Mash Up’ card trading in the queue.  The highlight of my day was meeting a family visiting from Spain who changed their holiday schedule & made a special detour just so they could get on the Moshi Bus!

Keep your eyes peeled in the next few months for the tour….!

The Mind Candy Christmas party was brilliant! Secret Santa gifts were an array of quirkiness. The group shot proved we have done nothing but grow in numbers in 2011, staff Baby Photo Guess Who showed some people still look like their child selves, and the ensuing party in a beautiful church venue was superb. A little champagne, a little music, and a little Moshi magic…. It’s Christmas!
