Darla Disneybound from Finding Nemo
"I get a fishy! Fishy, fishy, fishy! Fishy? Fishy! Wake up! Wake up!" It's that terror of a child that gets Nemo's aquarium buddies into a tizzy.

I'm very much a Marvel newb. I REALLY enjoy the movies. I played Marvel action figures with my son and have watched all of the movies up until this point (and in the theatres, too! Big action = big screen). But when Marvel introduces a "new" character to the screen, I'm lost! I have to read, watch … [Read more...]
