Character Entertainment is wrapping up November as everyone heads back home, full of turkey (or turducken, or chili dogs, or whatever you like to eat).

Here’s some highlights from the past month to see on the site, in case you missed them, along with some extra links just for fun.

BTW, did you know that almost every picture on this site is not just a picture? If you let your cursor hover over it, you’ll usually see a caption or even a live link to the product on amazon.com, to YouTube trailers or music, or other information! Try it on this page if you weren’t already aware!
