While you wait for the next episode of The Mandalorian to drop, perhaps you’d like your very own Baby Yoda to keep you company? You’re in luck: someone has made a pattern from which you can crochet your very own Baby Yoda small enough to fit into your pocket.
Even if you’re not an avid crocheter, this pattern from Brazilian crochet guru PhilaeArtes is easy enough for beginners. The pattern is in the style of “amigurumi,” a Japanese style of knitting or crocheting small stuffed yarn creatures.
To successfully make this Baby Yoda toy, you’ll need to know (or learn) to make a magic circle or magic ring, a single crochet stitch, and how to change to a different yarn color.
PhilaeArtes also has a pattern for an even tinier Baby Yoda keychain, which could totally double as a Christmas ornament during the holidays.
There are a couple of other crochet Baby Yoda patterns on Etsy, too, and they each have their own flair.
If you’re not crafty enough to make either of these patterns come to life, no worries — you can always buy a stuffed Baby Yoda toy that’s ready-made! You’d be in good company, too, as Mattel’s Baby Yoda toy was the best-selling plush toy on Amazon for much of December. The toy is so popular that it sold out, but there’s a new talking version that is still available.

Disney: there’s a good chance that scary movies aren’t the first things that come to mind. I mean, sure, there are moments that are scary (for kids) in pretty much every offering, but truly scary movies?
I’m here to tell you that you’re just not remembering right, because they exist.
And here are 7 that could legitimately give you nightmares.
7. The Watcher in the Woods
This movie, based on a 1976 novel, chronicles what happens to a family who moves into a house haunted by a mysterious presence – in this case, Karen, the daughter of the house’s owner who disappeared long ago.
6. Pinocchio
Chances are you’ve largely blocked out the details and remember just the lying puppet with the growing nose – and for good reason. The scene where the bad children are turned into terrified, screaming donkeys before being sold into slave labor is enough to cause serious childhood trauma.
5. Mr. Boogedy
A family movies into an old mansion in a town named Lucifer Falls (I’m guessing it was dirt cheap) and proceeds to be haunted by a few spirits – most notably the title character, who sold his soul to Satan back in Colonial times.
The movie delivers some genuine scares (and plenty of ick), so buckle up.
4. The Black Cauldron
The “most expensive animated feature ever made” (at the time) was a huge, dark fantasy failure. It’s PG rating (as opposed to G) came mostly because of its truly terrifying villain, the Horned King – and he will give you nightmares for days.
3. Something Wicked This Way Comes
This Ray Bradbury classic begins with a drama about two young boys coming of age in a small, Midwestern town. Then things take a seriously messed up turn for the creepy when Mr. Dark and his carnival roll into town, ready to grant some wishes…in a way that makes people wish they’d never wished them at all.
2. The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
For the first hour of these adapted films, you might wonder why it’s on this list at all – but then you’ll watch the final 2 minutes of Sleepy Hollow, when the animators decided to pull out all of the terrifying stops for Ichabod Crane’s flight from the headless horsemen.
1. Return to Oz
I’ve mostly blocked out the memory of this truly disturbing Oz adaptation (though I mean, Oz is pretty messed up, if you think about it), but it begins with Dorothy Gale getting shock treatments to cure her “delusions,” then moves on to animated heads and citizens turned into stone, with some tin men with squeaky wheels for hands for good measure.
It’s a legitimate horror show.
Still not scarier than Fantasia, but I’d say this is a solid list.
We know that if your kids are of a certain age, you’ve already taken them to see Frozen 2…at least once. There’s no escape, and you know it.
Just remember, you’ll be hearing your kids sing the songs from this movie for the next couple years, so get used to it and go with the flow.
Just let it go.
Let us begin…
1. Look what you started.
I let 3 bring her Anna and Elsa dolls into Frozen 2 and didn’t know I’d be waging a glare war with another mom who didn’t let her daughter bring her dolls in.
My 6yo moaned and groaned at the movie theatre during the trailers, because “We came here to see Frozen 2, not all of this.” I obviously told her a tale of how my generation had to sit patiently through the travesty of “commercials,” and walk uphill to and from school.

5. Booyah!
This is my JAM!
– me in my car listening to the Frozen 2 soundtrack
1. Anna and Christoph lead a boring life in the castle. She texts him to pick up milk on his way home. He says ok and then subsequently forgets. #rejectedFrozen2plotlines
I have 2 sons and zero daughters and my boys don’t want to go see Frozen 2 like I secretly do, they only want to hit each other with plastic lightsabers and talk about baby Yoda
Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie in the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory currently earns just $8-9 every three months from royalty payments.
What are your favorite romantic films from the past ten years? Ones that you think are pretty underrated and that might’ve flown under the radar?
Well, here’s a big list of them that you might want to add to your various streaming queues, courtesy of responses the Buzzfeed Community.
Let us begin!
1. Love, Simon (2018)
“First of all, it was one of the first films I had ever seen that featured a gay main character within a love story. I honestly cried multiple times. I felt like it was so modern and realistic. It really hit close to me.”
2. Call Me By Your Name (2017)
“It has to be one of the best love stories I’ve ever seen portrayed on film! Not only is the journey between the two of them so beautiful, raw, and heartfelt, but the soundtrack and scenery just makes you swoon even harder.”
3. Juliet, Naked (2018)
“Honestly, I think I might be the only person to have seen this movie. Ethan Hawke is perfect and it’s a lovely reminder of how much I loved him in the ’90s. Please go watch it so I have someone to talk about it with!”
4. Friends with Benefits (2011)
“Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake are hilarious and have amazing chemistry!”
5. Brooklyn (2015)
“First, I loved how they chose a real Irish actress to play the main character. Second, this film takes place so long ago, yet there are so many relatable topics to the present; This includes immigration and falling in love with someone who is the complete opposite of who you’re used to dating. Lastly, I really liked how it wasn’t just about dating, it also explored family and death.”
6. Sparrows Dance (2012)
“Noah Buschel made a great movie about an agoraphobic actress (Marin Ireland) who hasn’t left her apartment or changed her routine in years after a huge nervous breakdown. She begins to fall in love with the plumber she has to call when her toilet overflows. The plumber (Paul Sparks) is understanding and slowly brings her walls down. It’s honestly so good, and my description doesn’t do it justice.”
7. Beginners (2010)
“It’s about a guy named Oliver who’s basically reflecting on his father’s life after he passes away. His father came out at the age of 75 and began a relationship with a younger man, which pushed him to be more honest and open with himself and those around him. While Oliver begins exploring his father’s life, he meets and begins to fall in love with a woman who has her own father issues. It’s honestly such a beautiful movie that deserves more recognition.”
8. Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
“It’s such a beautiful love story, but I think people dismiss it because they’re vampires.”
9. Man Up (2015)
“Starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg, it’s a British film about two people who are perfect and hilarious together! It’s kind of an unconventional premise, but it ends up working so well. I’m shocked more people don’t know about it.”
10. Like Crazy (2012)
“It’s such a raw, realistic portrayal of what relationships are like in your early twenties. The jealousy, back and forth breaking up, and the reality of how hard it is to end a relationship even when you know it’s not working. I think a lot of people can watch this movie and will be reminded of their first adult relationship, and what it’s like to grow apart.”
11. Five Feet Apart (2019)
“It did not the get the credit it deserved! It was pushed aside as just another movie romanticizing illnesses, but it definitely did not romanticize cystic fibrosis at all! I started crying halfway through and didn’t stop. 10/10.”
12. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
“It highlights a teenager, who is just starting to show signs of schizophrenia and depression, but is also learning about friendship and first loves. It hits me right in the feels every time I watch it. Also, Emma Watson’s hair basically defined the decade.”
13. Set It Up (2018)
“Honestly, my favorite rom-com ever! The movie has an amazing cast, with a funny and original storyline. The chemistry between the characters, the perfect slow burn that isn’t annoying, hilarious best friends, and a stereotypical dramatic airport scene. The movie has EVERYTHING in it you could ever want from a rom-com. The fact that more people don’t appreciate it is a straight up crime.”
14. The Giant Mechanical Man (2012)
“The Giant Mechanical Man with Jenna Fischer and Chris Messina is just a sweet movie about two regular people who are a little lost, and looking to be seen.”
15. The Switch (2010)
“The premise sounds like it would be one big Judd Apatow movie with crude humor, which I have no problem with, but it’s actually incredibly sweet. The relationship between Wally and Sebastian is heartwarming. I highly recommend, because it’s one of my favorite movies.”
Even though most people nowadays probably know actor James “Jimmy” Stewart because of his leading role as George Bailey in the much-beloved Christmas classic It’s A Wonderful Life, the truth is that he was incredibly prolific in his day.
He played cowboys opposite Henry Ford, he was one of Hitchcock’s top choices – starring in movies like Rear Window and The Man Who Knew Too Much – and he even did a comedy or two (one of my all-time favorite movies, The Philadelphia Story, is a must see).
Stewart was also a veteran and someone who eschewed the harsh light of Hollywood whenever possible.
So, let’s take a look at these 6 other tidbits that might be new information for you!
6. He hated the colorization of It’s a Wonderful Life as much as everyone else.
Stewart wrote a letter to Congress in 1987 protesting that colorizing originally black and white films violated the creative vision of directors like Frank Capra, who never would have employed “the kind of obvious visual pun” of dressing Violet Bick in violet costumes.
He described the tinted versions as “a bath of Easter egg dye” and also lobbied against the practice in person.
Stewart grew up in Indiana, Pennsylvania. His father owned a hardware store, and Stewart displayed artistic talent all through school – his interest in music helped him get accepted into Princeton, his father’s alma mater.
Stewart received a degree in architecture in 1932, but with the Great Depression in full swing, Stewart followed his interests into acting, joining a Massachusetts theater group (where he roomed with Henry Fonda).
He did a few short runs on Broadway before landing his first feature film, The Murder Man, which was released in 1935.
4. He published a book of poetry.
He authored Jimmy Stewart and His Poems in 1989, a small volume that contains not only poems, but anecdotes about how each was composed.
Stewart received a draft notice in 1940, and upon learning that he was five pounds under the minimum weight for enlistment, ate everything in sight until he qualified. He joined the Army Air Corps (later the Air Force), where he was a great asset, as he already had a pilot’s license.
The Air Corps tried to sideline him, keeping him stateside because of his high profile, but Stewart insisted on being sent into the action. In November, 1943, he was sent to England and flew over 20 combat missions over Germany.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and two Oak Leaf clusters, making him the most decorated actor to participate in the war.
2. There’s a statue of him in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
His hometown unveiled the piece of art in 1983, for Jimmy’s 75th birthday.
He won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in The Philadelphia Story (I told you!) in 1940. Afterwards, his father asked “I hear you won some kind of award. What was it, a plaque or something?” Stewart took his suggestion and displayed it at his father’s hardware store in PA.
It stayed in the same spot for 25 years.
If you have time, working your way through his catalogue is a great way to spend it (don’t miss Mr. Smith Goes to Washington or The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!).
What’s your favorite Stewart movie? We’d love to share our favs in the comments!
We know exactly what today’s Hollywood heartthrobs looked like when they were younger because most of them have literally grown up before our eyes on the screen, in the tabloids, and on social media.
Ryan Reynolds anyone?
But what about the older folks who paved the way? Let’s take a look at what some iconic celebrities looked like when they were much, much younger.
