When You Wish Upon A Star

Codien

When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are,
Anything your heart desires,
Will come to you.

Yes, last night Codien saw a shooting star and wished for his PHB Sneak Peak to come true. Look what happened.

Poptropica have released yet another advertisement from…Disney (I’m a little worried about Disney’s presence right now but we still get awesome advertisements from them.)

Celebrating the 70th anniversary of Disney’s Pinocchio.

Inside the building is a quiz game, a synopsis of the movie, a video of its 70th anniversary, and of course a Pinocchio costume and a Fairy Godmother Costume.

Note: A lot of you have been saying you can’t see the advertisement. This is because it is only for Poptropican’s with an age between 9-11. So if you can’t see the Pinocchio Building its is because your age is to high. Simply make a new user to view the advertisement or go into multiplayer rooms, there are bound to be people with the costume in there.

You can visit the official site for Pinocchio here:  http://adisney.go.com/disneyvideos/animatedfilms/pinocchio/

PHB Sneak Peaks: The Little Wooden Boy

-Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks-

Welcome to another wonderful week of ‘Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks’. These posts are posted every week on Sundays. In every new post there will be stories that only we have. And only we post them. These stories are classified and are very secret.
This week’s story is ”The Little Wooden Boy”, It is about a puppet that wants to become a boy.

-The Little Wooden Boy-
I’m not a puppet, I’m a real boy.

Geppetto, a poor old wood carver, was making a puppet from a tree branch. “You shall be my little

boy,” he said to the puppet, “and I shall call you ‘Pinocchio’.” He worked for hours, carefully carving each detail. When he reached the mouth, the puppet started making faces at Geppetto. “Stop that, you naughty boy,” Geppetto scolded, “Stop that at once !” “I won’t stop !” cried Pinocchio.
“You can talk !” exclaimed Geppetto.

“Of course I can, silly,” said the puppet. “You’ve given me a mouth to talk with.” Pinocchio rose to his feet and danced on the table top. “Look what I can do !” he squealed.

“Pinocchio, this is not the time to dance,” Geppetto explained. “You must get a good night’s rest. Tomorrow you will start going to school with the real boys. You will learn many things, including how to behave.”

On his way to school the next morning, Pinocchio stopped to see a puppet show. “I can dance and sing better than those puppets and I don’t need strings,” boasted Pinocchio. He climbed onto the stage.

“Get off my stage,” roared the Puppet Master. Then he noticed how much the crowd liked Pinocchio. He did not say anything and let Pinocchio stay. “Here, you’ve earned five copper coins,” the Puppet Master told Pinocchio.

"Every time you tell a lie, your nose will grow. When you tell the truth, it will shrink."
"Every time you tell a lie, your nose will grow. When you tell the truth, it will shrink."

“Take these coins and go straight home,” said the Puppet Master. Pinocchio put the coins into his sack.

He did not go very far before he met a lame Fox and a blind Cat. Knowing that Pinocchio had money, they pretended to be his friends. “Come with us. We’ll teach you how to turn those copper pieces into gold,” coaxed the sneaky Cat.

“We want to help you get rich. Plant your coins under this magic tree. In a few hours they’ll turn to gold,” said the Fox.

“Show me where,” said Pinocchio excitedly. The Cat and Fox pointed to a patch of loose dirt. Pinocchio dug a hole and put the sack in it, marking the spot with a stone.

“Splendid !” exclaimed the Cat. “Now let’s go to the inn for supper.” After supper, the Fox and Cat, who weren’t really lame or blind, quickly snuck away and disguised themselves as thieves. They hid by the tree waiting for Pinocchio to come back and dig up the money. After Pinocchio dug up the coins they pounced on him.

“Give us your money!” they ordered. But Pinocchio held the sack between his teeth and resisted to give the sack to them. Again they demanded, “Give us your money !”

Pinocchio’s Guardian Fairy, who was dressed all in blue and had blue hair, sent her dog, Rufus, to chase the Fox and Cat away. She ordered Rufus to bring Pinocchio back to her castle. “Please sit down,” she told Pinocchio. Rufus kept one eye open to watch what was going on.

“Why didn’t you go to school today?” she asked Pinocchio in a sweet voice.

“I did,” answered Pinocchio. Just then, his nose shot out like a tree branch. “What’s happening to my nose?” he cried.

“Every time you tell a lie, your nose will grow. When you tell the truth, it will shrink,” said the Blue Fairy.

“Pinocchio, you can only become a real boy if you learn how to be brave, honest and generous.”

The Blue Fairy told Pinocchio to go home and not to stop for any reason. Pinocchio tried to remember what the Blue Fairy told him…

If you would like to read the rest of the story. Please go to this site. http://www.childrenstory.info/childrenstories/pinocchio.html
Its full of clasic children stories thay everyone will love.

 

Ahhh. You have to love classic children stories. And you’re going to love this even more when it comes to Poptropica.

Yes this lovable wooden puppet will be in an advertisement in Poptropica coming out in a month or two called (i’m guessing) Walt Disney’s Pinocchio.

You will be able to get the fairy godmother and the Pinocchio costume.

 

So that’s my Sneak Peaks this week. Next week will be a surprise. Maybe something that it is a little bit mummy like or something that is a little bit sneaky. See you next week.

Both the Creators’ Blog and the Poptropica Help Blog have received a few updates. Let’s start with the Creators’ ones:

The one and only
After a Poptropica Creator finishes their post, it usually ends with, for example, “Posted by Shark Boy at 2:36 PM”. This has now changed to (using the same example): “The one and only Shark Boy at 2:36 PM”. Cool! 🙂

Love it, Like it, Not interested
You can now vote about your reaction of each and every Poptropica Creators’ Blog post! Under where it says, “The one and only…” (details above), there’s a line where it says, “Reactions:”. Next to it are 3 options, each with a box beside it: Love it, Like it, Not interested. Click on the box beside it to vote that option! Currently, you can vote for as many as you want (you can even vote all 3). If you want to take back your vote, simply click on the box again! There is also a number in parentheses beside each option, which shows how many people had voted for that option. 😛

Zazzle Widget
On the side of the Creators’ Blog is their new Zazzle widget! This currently displays some of the T-shirts they are selling, and at the top, written in white with a blue background, are the words, “Poptropica T-shirts and More!” There is also a bright star next to it, and there’s one for the “Blog Archives” section too. It looks a lot nicer that way! 😀

Froot Loop Pirates have landed!

Codien

After many weeks those Pirates that Codien saw have landed. They have crashed on a giant pointy rock, and are roaming Poptropica right now.

 flpadvertisement
Yesterday, PCB announced that they had released a Pirate Adventure Advertisement, Just for 6 – 8. Just for 6-8!Doesn’t Poptropica know that there are people older then 8 that are playing.  So the only way to do the advertisement (If your Poptropican is older then 8) is to make a new player , and set the age betwen 6-8.goldenkey

The new advertisement, based around Pirates, is advertising Froot Loops newest fruity treasure, ‘Frooty Golden Bars!’ The Froot Loop Treasure Chest Building can be found on Spy Island, 24 Carrot island, and Early Poptropica Island , and can only be accessed via a golden key.
This golden key has been broken up and given out to 3 Pirates. These Pirates are hidden around Poptropica and will only give you the key after you complete a game.
The 3 games are ‘Rebuild the Map’, ‘Pirate Labyrinth’, and ‘Pirate Target Practice’. Each one is easy yet challenging.

After all three pieces of the key are handed to you, you will then get access to the Froot Loop Building. Inside is Toucan Sam and his gang, all the games you played to get the key , a advertisement movie about the froot loop gang finding the golden bars, and a special prize thats goldeny. 😀

NOTE:To do the advertisement or find the pirates your Poptropican must be between the ages of 6 – 8. Which means if you seem to not be able to find the pirates then its because your age is to high. Create a new player with the right age and do the mission.

 

The Pirate locations are:

flpspylocationThis pirate can be found on the roof of the Headquaters in Spy Island.
To win a piece of the key “ye must prove your worth at the target range” in the game Pirate Target Practice’. You use your mouse to control the cannon, you can hold down to extend how far the cannon fires.
Your aim is to get all the Froot Loops, PLUS the new Golden Bar,  and get as many points as possible. Remember
shooting the images of Black Beak will cause you to loose 25 points.

 

flpeplocation
This pirate can be found on the roof of the Pop Art Museum building which can be accessed via the blimp rope in Early Poptropica Island.
To win the piece of key “ye must put back together thee map” in the game ‘Rebuild the Map’.
Your aim is to put the map back together like a puzzle.

 

flp24location
This pirate can be found on the roof of ‘Charlies’s Surplus Co.’ building which can be accessed via the gas pumps in 24 Carrot Island.
To win the piece of key “ye must finish thee maze in time” in the game ‘Pirate Labyrinth’. You use your mouse to move the golden bar piece around.
Your aim is to reach the end in time. You can extend the time by getting froot loops. Remember hitting the images of Black Beak will take off 5 seconds.

 

If you want to see the PHB Sneak Peaks on this advertisement. Then go to:
+2. -’Land Ahoy, Yogo Bucks’-
+1. -’Pirates have Landed’-
See. PHB Sneak Peaks are real!

Highschool Musical starring Maroon Moon

Codien

Disney has released Highschool Musical 3: Senior Year on Dvd and Bluray, and to celebrate you can get your own graduation caps on Poptropica. This is the 3rd or 4th Advertisement from Disney, which is scary because we all know what happened to Club Penguin.
But don’t fret. The Advertisement is the school from the movie and is pretty cool. Inside there is the movie preview, a HSM Quiz Game, and of course there is the graduation outfits for boys and girls. Also on the top floor there is the stage from the movie. 😛

You can find the Highschool Musical 3 advertisement on Shark Tooth and Super Power Island. On the other islands are the Yogo Club and another Disney adverts.

Poptropica Creators Blog have released another Snap Shot Saga. This time Vlad the Viking flys over to Super Power Island to make friends with Maroon Moon. This is his story:

Who was that flying Poptropican? Why did she attack me? I was minding my own business while floating around Super Power Island in the airship when she just zoomed by and blasted me! It destroyed the basket I was sitting in and I fell down onto the roof of a large building (falling from somewhere seems to be a common occurrence for me now).

I made my way inside the structure and found a frantic group of people dressed in colorful costumes competing in games like Star Link and Soup Words.

I hopped up out of the fray and another Poptropican followed me to the printing press and challenged me to a friendly game of Balloons where we were evenly matched!

After our game I was able to snap a portrait of her before she sped off… I think she was on her way to help capture that flying menace and bring her to justice before she blasted anyone else out of the sky! I believe in you Maroon Moon!

Make sure to keep your eyes peeled because you never know when I will drop in! (I hope, however, that my drops aren’t as painful as they have been lately.)

Remember to look at all the other posts and comeback tommorow for another PHB Sneak Peak.
