April A-Z Challenge – Disney Alphabet Z

Day 26! This month I am taking part in the A-Z Challenge. After much deliberation I have decided to do a Disney themed cross-stitch sampler, so this post we continue with the A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet Z!

April A-Z Challenge 2020

You can read more about the A-Z Challenge on the website here: a-to-zchallenge.com.

I really like this challenge as it gets me visiting other blogs, and making new blogger friends, as well as giving me a challenge of daily posting!

My A-Z Challenge

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for the challenge this year; I’ve taken part before; on past blogs, and always really enjoyed it. It is a LOT of work, though I am (a little) ahead; so thought I’d share my cross-stitch Disney alphabet sampler, as I go.

Each letter will be hand cross-stitched to about 1.5ins; give or take. Though inspired by Disney, I have designed the letters myself; based on characters from the films. Simply rough sketching the idea in a notebook; (so don’t be surprised if this ends up a little messy!)

I didn’t have rules as such, though I have tried not to use a film more than once through the sampler, and of course some letters offered far more limited choices!

And so what will follow every day through April, is a short post sharing each letter! And some facts about the films represented too as a bonus!

A-Z Challenge: Disney Alphabet Z

Disney Alphabet Z The Lion King Zazu themed cross-stitch letter

Z is for Zazu! I absolutely adore The Lion King. Released in June 1994, it is Disney Animated Classic #32. Featuring some of my favourite Disney songs and some amazing voice talent from James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Jeremy Irons as Scar and of course Rowan Atkinson as Zazu. One of my favourite moments is when Zazu sings ‘It’s a Small World” to Scar, and he cries out ‘No No anything but that!”. I also really like that the film incorporated real words from several African languages into the character names and songs.

Unlike Scar, I quite enjoy It’s a Small World. What is your favourite Disney parks ride?

Which character would you choose for Z?

Thank you for joining me for this fun challenge! I’ve tried to share a few facts and ask some questions throughout the month, and I will share the complete alphabet next week, once I’ve messed with it a little! (Hopefully polished, pressed and prettied up!) I will be spending the next couple of weeks reading some of the A-Z Challenge blogs, so if I haven’t stopped by, there is still time!

Normal content resumes! I’m going to have a couple of days off, though will be posting a general update; sharing what I’ve been up to throughout this rather unusual month, on Friday!

  1. Zazu! The Lion King was my daughter’s favourite and so I’ve seen in 9 billion times 🙂 It did come in handy when I went to Tanzania, ha ha for I knew a few words and was able to impress people with my “knowledge” 😉 The man who met me at the airport asked ” Are you here because of The Lion King?” ….Maybe….:)
    I love your Z. I think its my favourite. Those colours! That beak! <3 So good!

    1. Thank you!! My next plan is to spend the weekend going through everyone else’s! Now I don’t have 4 hours of sewing a day lol!

  2. Zazu, the lion king. Good to know. I might have seen the movie. Still did not realize it or remember it.
