Emily Cratchit Minnie Update!

Double update, in fact!

I did manage to win the Emily Cratchit Minnie emoji, which is awesome!

Also, upon re-watching "Mickey's Christmas Carol," there's not the slightest indication that Mrs. Cratchit's first name is Emily.

Not that I thought there was, but nice to confirm and enjoyable to watch the cartoon again - even though it had only been about a week!

I say her name was retconned, but I don't mind!

Emoji Blitz Update - "Mickey's Christmas Carol"

Hot on the heels of "The Muppet Christmas Carol" event, Disney Emoji Blitz now has a "Mickey's Christmas Carol" event, featuring two new emojis!

The new emojis are Emily Cratchit Minnie (seen at top) and Ghost of Christmas Future Pete (below).

Pretty fun, but this raises the question of whether Mrs. Cratchit is actually called "Emily" in "Mickey's Christmas Carol" or was that a name that was assigned later, possibly based on Miss Piggy's Emily Cratchit from "The Muppet Christmas Carol."

This bears further investigation! Not that I mind watching "Mickey's Christmas Carol" again!

Disney Emoji Blitz Update - "The Muppet Christmas Carol"

You may remember last year when the Disney Emoji Blitz game featured special emojis of Bob Cratchit Kermit and Miss Piggy Emily Cratchit from "The Muppet Christmas Carol."

Well, they're back this year and they have their own little trailer:

Pretty fun!

But did the movie really come out 30 years ago?

More Blitzin'!

Disney Emoji Blitz also includes emoji from the Muppets franchise, so more holiday cheer this year included new emoji from "The Muppet  Christmas Carol" featuring Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in their roles of Bob and Emily Cratchit:

Love it!

Blitzin'!

You may recall that I mentioned way back when that the addictive matching game "Disney Emoji Blitz" added a couple of new emoji from "Mickey's Christmas Carol" last year.

Well, they were at it again this year, adding a new Tiny Tim emoji:

Adorable!

Disney Emoji Blitz!

One pleasant way to relax between blog posts is to play games on one's phone!

Perhaps my favorite is "Disney Emoji Blitz," one of those insanely addictive matching games. I like this game because it features a ton of characters from the Disney conglomerate, with Pixar and "Star Wars" and Muppet characters joining in the fun!

They also feature seasonal emojis, such as this one of interest from last year:

And for this past holiday season, these two made their debut:

I think they did a great job with these!

Here's a little video of "Bob Cratchit Mickey" in action:
