The Vinylmations have become an institution among Disney collectors. Presented for the first time in July 2008, the first collection was available in November 2008 at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Thereafter, the concept is exported to Disney Theme Parks worldwide. The very term Vinylmation is thus a combination of two names: Vinyl (term used to describe limited edition figurines) and Animation. This is basically an object intended primarily for collectors. The Vinylmations are, in fact, from the movement of the Art Toys that are, in general, figurines created by artists, designers and illustrators from worlds as diverse as contemporary art, graffiti, street art, webdesign, illustration, comic or fashion. Frequently used for these material is vinyl plastic rotocasté. At Disney, they have the common feature of all take the form of Mickey personifying only by its color trim. The Vinylmations are also sold mostly in boxes and bags opaque so that it is impossible to know in advance what figurine therein, history of a surprise as well as a market opportunity (or exchange stock exchange). Similarly, each model does not have the same draw, causing a renewed interest. To attract collectors and cause buying numbers, Vinylmations are also shown in boxes 24 per set. A complete set and includes 12 different figures (11 known and 1 mystery). 24 is then divided into 11 known figures present twice, Figure 1 and mystery figurine double socket in the top 11. Note nevertheless, this rule only works for Vinylmations 3 inches (7.6 cm). Vinylmations The limited edition 9-inch (22.8 cm) are not affected as some other 3-inch that can come in a limited way with their visual put forward to promote, mostly, a Disney news.

Disney Interactive Entertainment decides to pay tribute to Vinylmations producing a web series about this phenomenon. Performed frame by frame, with a tight budget, directors and try to stay true to the spirit of the object based visual marketing as the train is taken from one of the boxes in limited editions. Some episodes of the sort presented in preview at the high mass Disney, the D23 in August 2013. After that, Disney changed his tune and instead propose a web series of 10 episodes of 3 minutes, mobilizing its energy on an average 38-minute film to be released in theaters. He then proposed the 14 to 20 February 2014 at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, the first part of a replay of Lady and the Tramp and will also be broadcast in a room of Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida. Finally, it is at the same time, posted on Google Play.

While on paper the idea is excellent, and the technical quality is satisfactory, the end result turns out to be total boredom. Without a word, the action is, in fact, only worn by Alfred Montejano throbbing music. The story, she dragged in a scenario seen and reviewed road movie where the excluded service goes in search of his alter ego (and love) to finally upset the established order. Provided over a period of 7-15 minutes, the interest could have been better if it had been real cut, as nearly 40 minutes, it only brings trouble. And what about the atmosphere that emerges from the average film? It's really weird, especially in its second part which gives the impression of experimental work in the manner 'of Hansel and Gretel by Tim Burton.

In the end, the viewer retains Blank: A Love Story Vinylmation boredom felt. Too bad because the idea is pretty good, and the correct performance ... But now, the format definitely leaden together!
