    You WIll Need To Reset Your Password!!!

    We just moved hosts on this system, and this has caused a few updates. One is the way we encode and store the encoded passwords.

    Your old passwords will NOT work. You will need to reset your password. This is normal. Just click on reset password from the log in screen. Should be smooth as silk to do...

    Sorry for the hassle.

    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Disney To Feast In France

    The follow up to Disney’s 2013 Academy Award Winning short Paperman has been announced, and it will premiere at France’s Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Titled The Feast, the short looks to be based on the same stylized CG techniques used on last years Paperman, a more natural and hand-drawn look to computer animation.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Bob Newhart was the comedy voice that took everyone by surprise. When his "Button-down Mind" album (his first) appeared in 1960, it won a Grammy for Best Album (beating Sinatra and Belafonte) and revealed to America a side of itself it didn't know it had. "Button-down Mind" single-handedly established the "comedy album" as an actual genre. If he had a counterpart in the Tooniverse, I'd say it's Hank Hill, who occupied a place centerstage as the voice of reason amidst of a panoply of obviously off-center characters. Goodbye, Mr. Newhart, and thanks for providing the perceptive mirror that was so funny for so long.

    P.S.: Here is a link to a LMAO routine Mr. Newhart did with Dean Martin in 1965, courtesy of The Atomic Dog on InkBunny.

    ^I think I saw this on the NBC 75th Anniversary Special and Bob Newhart popped-up to say that he was on The Dean Martin Show.
