It’s not a happy Easter for everyone, as recent announcements from Toys R Us, an iconic American toy store, make it clear that it will shut down and close its doors very soon, after decades of selling the most important things you can give a child – pure happiness wrapped up in a cute form of a toy. Sadly, the days of going to the store to pick up another doll or action figure may be over not just for that company…

It’s almost New Year’s! And though it’s still 2017, the world already seems a very odd, unfamiliar place. For example, if someone had told us a year ago that Disney would buy Fox, we’d just roll our eyes. Ah, the naivety of youth…
