While many people were heading the their family's house for Easter or Passover last weekend, plenty of nerds, including myself, skipped the holidays and instead celebrated pop culture at WonderCon, the smaller cousin of the San Diego ComicCon. While there was plenty to see and do at the convention, as usual, one of the highlights was the cosplay. Here are some of the highlights from this year's event.

As the convention was right next door to Disneyland, there was an even bigger proportion of kids compared to the average convention, which also meant even more adorable kids cosplaying. This little one was an AT-ST complete with a built-in sound effect from the film that played every time he took a step.

This youngster made quite an impressive Princess Leia, complete with a plush R2-D2 backpack and yarn braids.

Rainbow Brite was quite cute, but it was her friends Twink and Starlite that really took center stage. Twink was especially adorable as she was just so darn proud of those sparkly shoes.

Tiny Daryl was there, ready to take care of any roving zombies, including those in his own family.

Just like there are more kids than usual because Disneyland is next door, there are also more Disney character cosplays. This Belle was particularly adorable because she was so excited about everything going on at the event -especially her sonic screwdriver and the giant cow at one of the booths.

Ever wonder what one of those paintings from The Haunted Mansion would look like in real life? Well, here's the girl who walks on the tightrope over the pool of aligators cosplaying for Bat's Day at Disneyland.

We've all seen plenty of Tard fan art by now, but this is the first time I've come across any fine art sculptures of the master of grump. I think it's time artists start carving her in marble so hundreds of years from now, people will remember that once upon a time the world was madly in love with a frowny house cat named Tardar Sauce.

Most dolls based on movie characters tend to feature the proper facial structure of the actors, but the mass production paint jobs leave the dolls looking pretty generic by the time they're released. If you want a doll that actually looks like the character in the movie though, talk to artist Noel Cruz who has an amazing talent when it comes to repainting these generic dolls and making them look exactly like the men or women they were intended to represent.

There used to be an old Russian wive's tale that if a frog jumped in your bucket of milk, it wouldn't go sour. As it turns out, that might be true because the peptides in frog's skin secretions are antibiotic. It also means that as more diseases become antibiotic resistant, we might start turning to frog ooze to prevent infections.

Putting dogs in a hospital may seem like an unsanitary move, but if they are specially trained to sniff out bacteria to help diagnose patients infected with Clostridium difficille before anyone would ever be able to  identify the infection then they can actually help save lives by preventing the spread of the bacteria.

No one likes the new office dress code, but only John has found a way to overdress while still getting a way with wearing his pajamas. I have to admit I'm pretty steamed about it -not about John's rebellion, but about the fact that they don't make pajama suits for women...yet.
