The Legend of Zorro Movie Mousepad

This lenticular mousepad is from the 2005 movie The Legend of Zorro with Antonio Banderas in the lead of  the masked swashbuckling outlaw who defends the people of the land against tyrannical officials and other villains. He often leaves his distinctive trademark Z with three bold strokes of his rapier.

Toy Story 2 Movie Mousepad

This is an absolutely kawaii mousepad showing the aliens toys from the Disney Pixar movie Toy Story 2. I thought the first Toy Story movie was great, fortunately the follow-up sequel didn't disappoint and was well worth the wait and anticipation.


Blizzard Warcraft III Reign of Chaos Promotional Mousepad

Although I don't really play any MMORG games, or should I say onlintoe games in general, I do realise the mass appeal of Warcraft worldwide. This mousepad came into my possession through an online contest. I have watched others play at the cyber cafe and Warcraft looks like a cool game. I can't wait for it to be made into a movie someday.


Austin Powers Movie Mousepad

An artsy looking mousepad, that's the first thought that came into my mind when I saw this Austin Powers mousepad. Kind of like something from the pop artist Andy Warhol don't you think? Its to promote  the Austin Powers movie of course.

Planet Hollywood Singapore Collectible Mousepad

I got this Planet Hollywood mousepad at a special movie event organised by Planet Hollywood and a local publication. I don't remember which movie was screened, but the screening room was nicely decorated, spacious with comfortable couches and bean bags.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Collectible Mousepad

Final Fantasy is one of the most successful media franchise developed and owned by Square Enix, a Japanese company.  It started out as a RPG (role-playing game) in 1987 on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) game console and is currently available on a wide range of platforms, still widely popular with fans of role-playing games.  Now there are also movies, printed media, toys and other merchandise. 




The many successful sequels feature different storylines but contain recurring plot themes and characters.  I waited in anticipation for the screening of the Final Fantasy movie in 2001 and it was worth the wait.  The animation was beautifully rendered and the story simply engaging.  For fans of Japanese animation movies and Final Fantasy, this movie is a "must watch".

The lenticular mousepad shown here is one of my favorites and now I am thinking if Final Fantasy were to be remade into 3D for the big screen, that would be really great news.

Finding Nemo Mousepad

This is a lenticular mousepad from the 2003 Disney Pixar animation movie Finding Nemo. I remember this movie enjoyed good box office takings and it was screened during the June school holidays. Many parents accompanied their kids to watch this family-oriented movie. But while this movie showed children good core values through its themes of love and friendship as any good Disney movie should, it also created an unexpected and undesirable situation. Well let me explain, before this movie, many children had no idea what a clownfish was. They might innocently squeal: "Clownfish? A fish that looks like a clown?" But after the movie started screening, adolescents who might otherwise find delight in pointing at the Golden Arches and excitedly mouthing the word "MacDonalds!!!" ad infinitum, added one new word to their limited vocabulary. The word? N-e-m-o. The cute clownfish from the movie had kids enthralled. Pet shops started selling clownfishes like hotcakes to impressionable kids with parents in tow. They had all watched the movie and everyone wanted their own "Nemo". I know a lot of parents indulged their kids and bought clownfishes to please their little ones. The problem was that these people were clueless on how to properly care for marine life and our poor delicate clownfishes were treated as mere toys. I can only imagine the sad fate that awaited these pets when the fad eventually died down and the kids invest their interest on the next popular cartoon character. I just wish parents could be more responsible for their actions and teach their children proper values. Fishes are afterall not inanimate toys, they have a life.

Swordfish Movie Mousepad

A cool mousepad in my collection from the 2001 Warner Bros movie Swordfish starring hunky Australian Hugh Jackman as an elite but reformed hacker trying hard to get by in life without resorting to hacking computers. Nevertheless he still gets roped in by John Travolta, head of the counter-terrorist unit Black Cell to illegally access and steal government funds locked in mainframes secured by super-encryption.
Casting for this movie is great, John Travolta is suave and totally in his element playing the role of the bad guy, Hugh Jackman is almost believable as a super hacker and Halle Berry is pure eye candy playing the government mole sent to spy on the two. I am sure that particular scene where Halle Berry strips to her lingerie was written specially by scriptwriters determined to show off her slim and svelte figure! Overall I would rate this movie 9 out of 10 for pure entertainment value. As a matter of fact, I don't mind watching this movie again.
