In the latest episode of Family Guy, Stewie and Brian randomly zap themselves to alternate universes, one of which is a perpetually jolly Disney-fied world where everyone has the ability to enter song and dance numbers without a hitch. And what's one of the jolliest topics of them all? Pie! "I want to hear more music about pie!" says Stewie. Don't we all. Watch the video after the jump....

Nothing is safe from Disney's grasp: Disney Farm Fresh Eggs are eggs with drawings of Disney characters' heads printed on them. That's it. Crack the egg and the Disney fun is gone, unless you have a Mickey-shaped egg mold, in which case you can use that to stretch the Disney theme and fry an egg that will barely resemble the plastic-looking one in the commercial.

In accordance with the studio's aim to squeeze every possible dollar out of a film, it will release wines based on the movie Ratatouille: "For the first time, Disney will offer red and white wines to complement the film's backdrop, a five-star Parisian restaurant, as well as cheese platters, both from Costco Wholesale Corp." Wine blogger Dr. Vino speculates that the whites will be Chardonnays from the Burgundy region of France. Something tells me that Thomas Keller’s palate (in use as consultant for the film) will not go into these mass-market wines. I may breach my no-Disney movie policy for this one, but I still don’t...
