Special Corporate versions of otherwise consumer products are not particularly uncommon.

Speaking for myself, I can't really think of anything I'd want written on the crystal. I do admit to liking the alternate coral bits arranged around the crystal.


As for autographed posters and other sales bits, when I mention these to Jim, he gets pessimistic. He doesn't think they will sell particularly well. Maybe I need an advanced signup of people who are 100% sure they would buy posters, autographed or otherwise and other items. I am really hopeful that the coffee mugs, etc. are tastefully done, such as just a couple of fish on one side of the mug and a witty quote attributed to Jim Sachs on the other.

What would be really cool is Polo shirts from Land's End with a clownfish and SereneScreen.com embroidered on it. I'll take two.

Oh, and Jim/Prolific/etc. NOW is the time to start talking to Pixar directly (not Disney) about how to capitalize on Finding Nemo.

Anything short of daily phone calls and letters to them over the next 9 months would be a missed opportunity. Nowhere else will such public exposure be available. I say anyone who goes and sees it should be able to buy the Aquarium and mail in their ticket for a $5 rebate on the specialty creature pack and get a poster.

For anyone wondering what the heck Finding Nemo is, it will be Pixar's fifth entirely 3D created film. It's a movie (targeted to kids, but whose humor appeals to all ages) about saltwater fish.
