In Just Dance 2022, Daði Freyr’s pop song “Think About Things” is accompanied by a music video featuring a dancing holiday elf named Flake. The elf wears a blue outfit, with a single green glove and mismatched shoes. We opted for royal blue rather than the more accurate light blue since items are easier to source in this color. Add faux fur trim to your sweater and pants, and you’re ready to dance.

In The Freak Brothers, Freewheelin’ Franklin Freek (voiced by Woody Harrelson) is the street-smart member of the titular trio. He’s tall, skinny, with a waterfall mustache and a ponytail. In “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers” comics, his hair can be red, blonde, or light brown depending on the colorization. In the Tubi animated series, it’s more of a light orange.

Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is a main character in the Star Wars franchise. We first meet him in Episode IV: A New Hope on the planet Tattooine. Following the loss of his aunt and uncle, as well as his home, Obi-Wan starts training Luke to be a Jedi. Together with his robot companions, C-3PO and R2-D2, and his new allies Han Solo and Chewbacca, he must rescue Princess Leia from the Imperial Forces, led by none other than Darth Vader.

Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) is the main protagonist of the Scary Movie franchise.  She is a parody character based on Sidney Prescott from the Scream film series.  In true horror film fashion, Cindy is sweet and attractive, though a little meek.  She wears a variety of outfits throughout the films, and her hair eventually changes to blonde, but in Scary Movie 2, some of her most memorable outfits include a white bell-sleeved blouse with black pants and a pale blue turtleneck with white jeans.

After a long hiatus, San Diego Comic-Con is back! The November 26, 2021 weekend marked the return of SDCC to […]

The Freak Brothers are the titular characters of an animated series currently streaming on Tubi based on the comic book “The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers” by Gilbert Shelton that ran from 1968 to 1997. It follows the wacky misadventures of a trio of hippies and their cat. Phineas T. Phreak (voiced by Pete Davidson) is the idealist of the group. He sports a big, bushy beard and a nose shaped like a joint.

Carl (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) the convenience store guy manages the Quahog Mini-Mart on the Fox animated series Family Guy.  Carl is friends with both Brian and Peter, though he does not get along with Meg.  Carl is a pudgy man with dark blonde hair.  He wears a blue vest is part of his uniform and he also sports a backward trucker hat.

Katie Mitchell (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) is the main protagonist of the Sony Pictures Animation film The Mitchells vs. the Machines.  Katie is quirky and creative, and a film student in college.  Katie wears distressed jeans and shoes embellished with markered details.  To have some fun with her look, be sure to add little details to your own clothes (and hands!) like Katie does in the movie.

Gabriela “Gabi” Hernández (voiced by Ynairaly Simo) is the the 10-year-old deuteragonist of the animated film Vivo.  Vivo, the titular monkey, enlists Gabi to help him deliver a song to a famous singer at her farewell show.  Gabi has purple and a colorful sense of style, with a colorful plaid skirt an bright pink collared shirt paired with a checkered tie.  You can get the sleeveless look of Gabi’s character by cutting the sleeves off a standard polo.  And if you can’t find the exact skirt Gabi uses in the movie, don’t be afraid to find the most colorful one you can and commit to it.
