Brain child of the Disney Corporation and delivered with the flawless execution of a new innovative technology, Toy Story is fantastic on a number of levels. Toy Story was the first film for Pixar Entertainment who pioneered the use of cgi cinematography. Mix in a colorful storyline performed by an incredibly talented cast and crowds worldwide lined up to take part of this fantasy. Toy Story 2, the sophmore film, experienced the same success of it’s predecessor. The film featured a mix of familiar voices. Tom Hanks stars as Woody, the lovable old fashioned pull string cowboy and best pal to his child owner, Andy. A wonderland of it own, Andy’s room is full of toys who come to life when he leaves. Woody is their leader.
In the first film we’re introduced to Buzz Lightyear a fearless and dare say oblivious astronaut action figure who unlike the other toys, believes he’s real. Andy brings Buzz home after a birthday party and is awstruck with the buttons, new dazzling features and, of course, the trademark “To infinity and beyond!”. Alas, Woody is disenchanted fearing that his place in the boys heart as his best pal may be lost to this new toy. From there the movie unfolds as Woody plots to trap this intruder that results in him falling out of the Toy room only to having Buzz come to his aid. They learn that they must rely on each other to make it home.
Of course, as is the Disney way, the two toys become comrades in the end and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Just like that, a franchise was launched with plush dolls, funny t-shirts and the Toy Story Mania area at Disneyland California Adventure. The best part about the film(s) is not only the appeal they have for children but that the adults can enjoy it just as much. That’s an impressive feat and we’re all hooked as a result. 2010′s Toy Story 3 brings some old friendly faces back to the big screen, like the piggy bank named Hamm. “Lotso” (short for Lots-O’-Huggin Bear) is the newest member of the bunch. June 18th in the release date and the world is sitting in anticipation . With such a great time in store, who wouldn’t be.

The first of the Karate Kid series was a critically acclaimed coming of age  story about a student-mentor relationship and the battle for dignity against the dishonorable Cobra Kai. It brought us classic phrases like “wax on, wax off” and “sweep the leg”, the crane kick has entered the martial arts lexicon, and the film launched Ralph Macchio’s career as a teen sensation. It would see three sequels, all popular, but critically none would have the cult reputation of the iconic first film, which is still merchandised and quoted to this day.  However, a new challenger finally enters to make a grab for Macchio’s throne. Produced by Will Smith and starring his son Jaden, 2010′s upcoming Karate Kid movie has a June 11th release date and a world of anticipation behind it. More of a reboot than a remake, Karate Kid 2010 brings the action overseas to Beijing, and focuses on kung fu over the more traditional karate from the original. Though Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) has sadly passed on, he finds a suitable replacement in film legend Jackie Chan, playing Mr. Han, a kung-fu master passing on his kung fu secrets to the new “karate kid”. While the characters and fighting style may have changed, the film looks to keep the spirit intact, and with filming being performed on location in places like the Great Wall of China it looks to be the authentic martial arts film fans have been dying to see. Respectfully, the new film will contain a few homages to the original, including a variation on the fly-catching training sequence. While the great cast and location should keep old fans satisfied, this will prove to be a great time to get a whole new generation in on the Karate Kid legend, and bring “strike first strike hard no mercy sir” back to the warrior repertoire once again.

Do you know what size t-shirt to order? Mens or Womens?…..Adult Womens or Juniors?. Rest assured there are answers to your questions because t-shirt sizes are more than small, medium, large, mens or womens.
Choosing the Right T-Shirt Size:
2Bhip carries a wide array of different t-shirt cuts and styles from young to old! We carry a wide line of products from multiple manufacturers, each of whom may have slight variations in cut and measurements. However, our tees can be grouped into five main categories, Adult, Juniors, Toddlers, Youth, and Juvenile, that should provide a universally consistent fit once the right style is chosen.
Adult
These tees represent the standard t-shirt cut and comprise the bulk of our stock. The measurements on these tees are relatively standard, and matching your usual t-shirt size to ours should never be a problem. Some manufacturers print on adult t-shirts but have slight size variations, such as with our More Cowbell and Jack Bauer t-shirts, these rare instances will have a note in the description letting you know to go a size up for the typical loose fit. Juniors
Juniors tees, also known as babydoll, are cut very thin and typically have a soft feel to be very form-fitting. Intended for teenage girls and slim women, juniors t-shirts are recommended for buyers who are already familiar with juniors t-shirts and already know their appropriate size. Elsewhere they can simply be called “women’s t-shirts”, and for the inexperienced going a size up could be a great idea, especially if you’re between sizes.  Toddlers
These are cute t-shirts intended for children aged 1 through 4 years, considered the first step up from rompers. Sizes typically go by two year increments, a 2T being 1-2 years old, a 3T being 2-3 years old, and so on. As always, these sizes represent typical guidelines and a previous purchase of a toddler t-shirt is a great way to know the right size. As kids grow up fast, going up a size may be a good idea for those not sure.
Juvenile & Youth
Juvenile and Youth t-shirts are both intended for children, who use their own size chart. Children’s sizes run from 4-20, with Juvenile shirts running from 4-7,  and Youth tees running from 8-20. Juvenile shirts are intended for children as the next step up from a toddler’s t-shirt, and by proxy Youth t-shirts are for children who have outgrown Juvenile sizes. As all children grow differently, buying a size up can be a good idea for children on the “edge” of a size. As different manufacturers use slightly different sizing, the best option to ensure the best fit for you is to give us a call at (610)421-4447! We’ll be happy to assist you with measurements for any t-shirt you’re interested in to ensure you receive the perfect size for you!

 The never-forgotten king of reggae and a permanent fixture on every dorm room wall, Bob Marley used music to preach a broad message of love and understanding that remains endearing to this day. Building up his musical chops with The Wailers, Bob would go on to join the Rastafari movement and become it’s unofficial spokesman, bringing the Jamaicia “Way of Life” into the mainstream in the midst of worldwide political strife. Scheduled to play “Smile Jamaica”, a free concert organized by the prime minister to ease political tensions between warring factions, Bob Marley was wounded by a still-unknown gunman. Not one to be scared into silence, Bob’s bravado and dedication became clear as he went onstage two days later still injured, performing as scheduled. “The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I?” he said. After recording the landmark Exodus and Kaya albums in England, he came back to Jamaica for a performance at the One Love Peace Concert, which climaxed with, at Marley’s insistence, the leaders of the violently opposing National Party and Labour Party shaking hands onstage as Marley told the world: “Just let me tell you something (yeah), to make everything come true, we gotta be together. (Yeah, yeah, yeah) and through the spirit of the Most High, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, we’re inviting a few leading people of the slaves to shake hands. To show the people that you love them right, to show the people that you gonna unite, show the people that you’re over bright, show the people that everything is all right. Watch, watch, watch, what you’re doing, because, I mean, I’m not so good at talking but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say. Well, I’m trying to say, could we have, could we have, up here onstage here the presence of Mr. Michael Manley and Mr. Edward Seaga. I just want to shake hands and show the people that we’re gonna make it right, we’re gonna unite, we’re gonna make it right, we’ve got to unite. The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead. The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead.”
With actions like this, Bob Marley proved an important fundamental point about the power of music to influence the world, and that nobody is above the ability to be inspired. Though respected musically, with a place in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, fans know that Bob Marley’s power came from his live influence and ability to make every person in the audience feel like they have the power to change the real horrors of the world. Though cancer would claim his life at a tragically young age, four of his children would go on to continue his musical and political dreams and still play live shows today, keeping their father’s timeless message alive and ensuring love and equality never goes out of style.

 Jack Bauer is undeniably immortal (some say he made both the chicken and the egg, and the ensuing paradox is what killed the dinosaurs), but 24 now faces a self-imposed end at it’s eighth and final day. This season will finish off eight years of counter terrorist action and masterfully fast-paced suspense it’s rivals could never approach. Though there is a feature film in the works to follow up the series, it will still be hard for the show’s 10 million+ fans to watch the clock finally stop. Any 24 fan can hype up the excitement of the latest season, and explain the week-by-week thrill of watching multiple concurrent subplots converge bit by bit into a no-doubt explosive finale. But let’s say you’re a little sketchy on the details. “Jack Bauer who?”, you say. “Why’s everybody talking so fast, and why is that guy getting so brutally tortured on primetime television”? Luckily, with eight past seasons to keep you busy there’s never been a better time to get into 24, and with the series soon about to go down in history as a classic it’s worth taking a look back on this prime-time tv show phenomenon. While the characters and organizations stay consistent, each season of 24 offers a totally new terrorist situation for special agent Jack Bauer to avert. From stopping a presidential assassination to disarming nuclear bombs hidden across a city, 24 always keeps the stakes high and the situations fresh. The most obvious innovation is the 24 hour time limit to each season, each episode taking place over one hour in real time. Thus, without relying on time jumps and flashbacks to tell the story, 24 is able to offer a genuinely frantic experience that forces you to experience new developments at the same exact pace as the characters involved. Because subverting a suitcase nuke conspiracy has no dull moments, neither does 24, and it’s this innovation that puts you literally right there in the moment with Jack Bauer. Played by Kiefer Sutherland, CTU special agent Jack Bauer has amassed a cult following all his own. His job is to prevent major terrorist attacks on the United States, but his claim to fame is his brutal approach to counterterrorism. One of the shows main themes is whether the ends justify his brutal means, Jack is not above using torture and fierce interrogation to accomplish his mission. These uncompromising methods have become infamous, and given him the cult following we see today. One of the most famous Jack Bauer moments involves his lengthy Chinese imprisonment, where he withstood two years of torture without saying a word. While most prison escape plots in television involve whittling out lockpicks and digging through tiles, Jack Bauer ultimately escaped torture by tearing out a man’s jugular vein with his teeth. Move over Chuck Norris! He can also speak multiple languages, fly both airplanes and helicopters, has expertise in firearms and explosives, and can allegedly blow up the moon just by screaming at it. All in all, not a bad resume.
So, facing the end of a 192 episode run, having stopped eight seperate major terrorist plots that nobody else could, it’s only fitting that Keifer Sutherland should get the last word on the show he made iconic. From a March press release from Fox:
“This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful.”

Power Rangers was adapted directly from a Japanese superhero team show called Super Sentai, one of the most popular of it’s kind in Japan. Using the hit Super Sentai show as stock footage, and filming brand new scenes with American actors for the overseas market, the end result was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Featuring a team of costumed warriors chosen to destroy the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa, virtually every episode climaxed in a super sized Godzilla-style duel between one of Rita’s henchmen and the iconic Megazord, a giant robotic combination of prehistoric power animals that time and time again becomes humanity’s salvation and just about the coolest thing a child of the 90s had ever seen. No slouches on their feet though, Power Rangers also featured plenty of martial arts action and a memorable and wide variety of villains for the Power Rangers to tag-team kick in the face. Wearing it’s kung-fu film inspirations on it’s sleeve, Power Rangers offered a brand of action that the rest of children’s television just couldn’t keep up with. Perhaps this is why against all odds the show saw immediate overnight success and sixteen more Power Rangers series were soon to follow, switching up the outfits, members, and villains and sending the team around the world and into the furthest reaches of space. How’s that for epic in scope?
Proving that Japanese entertainment could have huge crossover appeal, one could even argue that Power Rangers was a crucial predecessor to the anime movement today. The use of stock footage kept production costs down and made the show easily distributable just as the anime style was designed to do, and when a robot pterodactyl is tackling a giant putty monster no red-blooded American child is going to notice. An appreciation for dinosaurs, matching jumpsuits, big robots, and flying drop kicks is practically encoded into our DNA, and this is apparent because Power Rangers became a tour-de-force that stretched on for over sixteen years.
They’ve been samurai, ninjas, space police, wizards, and more, but deep down we all have a soft spot for the original six; Jason, Zack, Trini, Kim, Billy, and Tommy. They were the team that got us hooked, and they were the team that every kid wanted to join. However, it’s not for the faint of heart; your enemies are merciless and frequently the size of buildings. Your friendly neighborhood Green Ranger was always off joining the competition and unearthing mystical swords of darkness, stomping around in his big metal dinosaur all the while. And in spite of everything, the Power Morpher comes with great responsibility. You must serve and protect, and only act in defense of the people (you can’t simply go stomping on little putty men in your giant Megazord all day long no matter how awesome that sounds to you). But the perks are nice! Kung fu, zords, and your choice of prehistoric beast to lead into battle. Are you a T-rex, or more of a triceratops? Is the ferocious saber toothed tiger more your speed? A Power Ranger costume is a big decision, but remember, it’s all for the greater good. A world ruled by a malicious skeletal space emperor with an exposed brain is no world that I’d want to live in!
