These animated versions of the performers were designed to capture the essence of each artist while reimagining them in the charming and universally appealing style characteristic of Pixar films like ‘Up’, ‘Coco’, ‘Toy Story’, ‘Encanto’ and many more. The visuals were created by Daniel Falzon Malli and the team at Eurofan.ai.

The project is timely, launching just as Sarah Bonnici prepares to take the stage for Semi-Final 2 of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. Bonnici is set to open the night, with hopes of securing Malta a spot in Saturday’s final.

If you want to join in on the Eurovision fun this evening and on Saturday, make sure to visit the TVM Eurovision Fanzone in collaboration with Malta Daily at Valletta’s Triton Fountain Square. The Free Fanzone will include live streaming of both shows ono the big screen, also including performances from Klinsmann, Federica and Rita Pace.

Men in Mankinis Parade Across Kappara Junction

Men in Mankinis Parade Across Kappara Junction
May 9 2024 Share

Drivers passing through the Kappara Junction saw a rather unusual sight earlier today, when a group of men dressed in mankinis and top hats were seen jogging across the area.

According to an eyewitness, the group, likely part of a bachelor party, exited a coach and immediately began their peculiar parade.

Bachelor parties are frequently celebrated in Malta, often with unique and memorable antics, but this event was notably bizarre. The choice of mankinis, paired with formal top hats, created a striking contrast that amused and bewildered many witnesses.

As the men made their way through the streets, their unusual attire and festive demeanour were a sight that drew both smiles but also anger and confusion from members of the local community.

Have you ever seen a sight like this?

In the recent post, Borg stated that a public officer which he had a court case with drove in front of his house to report to his superior officer that he is being threatened with a knife and that he will be run over by a car. In the meantime, the individual on the other end of the conflict continues to exclaim that such statements are untrue.

The video has since garnered hundreds of likes, comments and shares, with some pointing attention to the fact that a man under threat of knife attack would not be smoking a cigarette in their car while others went on to highlight that the official was not even wearing his seatbelt.

What do you make of this?
