JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Unleashes a Baby Raptor Popcorn Bucket — GeekTyrant
Regal theaters has revealed its movie tie-in collectible for Jurassic World Rebirth , the Incubator Dual Container, a popcorn bucket/drink holder combo that doubles as a baby raptor nursery. The Incubator Dual Container is designed to look like the same incubation tech used in the films to birth dinosaurs. And a little raptor stares you down right where your buttery popcorn goes. It's 100% on-brand for the franchise. In an era where collectible popcorn buckets have become events unto themselves like the internet-breaking Dune: Part Two sandworm tub, the Jurassic World Rebirth offering might be the most thematically appropriate of them all. It leans into the DNA of the franchise. Every time you go for a handful of popcorn, there's a genetically engineered predator just waiting. These types of collectibles are quickly becoming a strange new tradition for blockbuster season. This year alone, fans can get buckets for Lilo & Stitch , The Fantastic Four: First Steps , and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning , which was designed by Tom Cruise himself. Tickets for the movie are now available for pre-order at select Regal locations, and if you're a longtime fan of the franchise—or just into collecting oddball movie merch, you might want to grab this one before it hatches and runs away. You can check out the teaser video for the popcorn bucket below.

You Can Now Eat Popcorn Out of a Moving, Talking Mickey Mouse at Disneyland
While Disney fans await the arrival of Walt Disney's high-tech robot this summer for Disneyland's 70th anniversary, an interactive Mickey Mouse that can blink and talk while you eat popcorn out of its head is now available for purchase. io9 was on hand to demo the latest in the popcorn bucket arms race, which started at Disney theme parks before becoming the hottest movie theater souvenir. While AMC Theaters' Dune sandworm popcorn bucket seemed like the peak of out-there and bonkers snack vehicles, Disney is back with a robo-upgrade. Check out the moving and blinking bucket you can dig into while engaging in fun conversation starters with a simple 'Hey Mickey?' Sure, it's pre-programmed with a handful of phrases but the real treat is the moving head and blinking eyes. It's astounding and a little creepy but in a cute way, at least. What's unhinged is that the interactive setting responds to your voice when you ask it the magic question—and it's definitely got some kinks to work out. I literally screamed at it and it ignored me, but could somehow hear its cast member friend. Maybe I needed to take my voice down an octave or two in my best Gaston impersonation to be perceived by robot Mickey Mouse. While we don't see movie theaters adding voice activations to their buckets, unless maybe they do it for M3GAN, this is a delightfully wacky addition to the popcorn bucket hall of fame. We can only imagine what popcorn buckets will do by the time Disneyland turns 80. Find your talking and moving Mickey Mouse popcorn bucket this summer at the Disneyland Resort.
