The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

Ever since the company revealed that its first major Nintendo line would not feature minifigures, but buildable platforming levels and chunky, electronically-enhanced takes on Mario and his pals, Lego has always done the unexpected when it comes to everyone’s favorite gaming plumber. Even the “traditional” Mario-themed sets are less about minifigures and playsets, but buildable interactive display pieces. So it’s perhaps no surprise then that Lego’s take on Mario Kart is a little larger-than-life too.

The streaming service notably bars customers from filing litigation. After the internet thoroughly freaked out about this display of corporate psychopathy, Disney has now announced that it will allow the litigation to proceed.
