The Adventures of Snuggle the Bear, Plus a Holiday Treat
In our ongoing quest to find some of the best Supernatural fan art, we've unearthed some awesome creations this week.
First off, a holiday treat: Check out Dragonfly’s awesome fan video, The Carol of Supernatural. It’s well worth the download. We’ve been geeking out over it ever since Kim sent it in. (Thanks, Kim!)
Second, as promised, we direct you to Big Pink’s Bear Hunt, a fabulous photo-comic that takes you on a tour of Supernatural shooting locations in Vancouver and reveals plush toys’ weakness for bad-ass muscle cars.
Some background: Remember Dean’s throwaway line in “Faith” about wanting to hunt the Snuggle Fabric Softener Bear down? Big Pink decided to make that a reality, and combine it with a map of where episodes were shot in the Vancouver area. The process was fraught with peril to both body and ego, Big Pink says: “The looks we got, carrying around a freakin' Snuggle Bear and snapping photos of it in public places, sometimes stopping traffic to do so….”
Big Pink and her trusty driver/location scout JM completed the photo shoot in one day, with the help of “inordinate amounts of sugar and caffeine,” Big Pink said. Among her favorite locations were Save-on-Meats, where the employees happily held the Snuggle in the window beside the pork chops, and the Riverview asylum, which is still used as a mental health facility. “We had a great conversation with the guys filming there (I think the production was 'The Seed'), who showed us how they were making fake graves. Again, JM and I killing ourselves laughing and pointedly not mentioning why I was carrying a Snuggle Bear. Later, JM quite rightly pointed out that I didn't look so out of place hauling around a stuffed toy.”
We asked Big Pink if we could expect another comic soon. “We'll probably do a second one after Season Two's over, though the Supernatural location guys aren't giving us too much to work with yet,” she said. “Snuggle Bear is now sitting on my bed, awaiting her next close up -- I guess she made it out of the wreck okay.”
We can’t wait.
Keep sending in those fan art suggestions to cwsource@gmail.com. Thanks!

I totally agree with hermitme...The Carol of Supernatural should definitely be shown as a promo! It was amazing! Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get it into my iTunes library so I can put it on my iPod...
The Snuggles Bear thing was hillarious too! My friends and I said that one summer we're going to take a road trip to Vancouver, so those places will definitely come in handy ;)

The Carol of Supernatural video was fantastic. I wish it would show as a promotional for the holidays. Are we listening CW? There's a great promotional video out there. Use it if you can. As for Snuggles? Who'd of guessed it would become immortalized by Dean's words. LOL

That Snuggles the bear comic is fantastic. They did a great job putting it together and making a fun plot to go along with it.
And the video's awesome. That's one of my favorite songs for the holidays and to have it put together with one of my favorite shows? Just beyong supreme. (And if my memory serves me right, the song was originally made by Savatage...something that I've noticed is constantly being overlooked.)

That one line has spawned a whole lot of stuff with the Winchesters vs Snuggles the fabric softener bear, including a plot-arc in Plastic Winchester Theater. That detergent company owes any increase in sales of Snuggle bears to Supernatural fans. :D

I used to be OBSESSED w/ Snuggle Bear when I was a kid. Seriously, I wanted to marry it. Of course, now I know better.
