    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.

    I remember a cartoon short that featured one or several crows crossing a desert. There was no dialog that I can remember but their steps ( a step-step-step-step step-step-step) were accented with the music that sounded like the wooden blocks we used to play for rhythm in grade school. That's all I remember, but every once in a while that walking tune just becomes a meme and can't get it out of my head.

    Anyone?

    Sounds a lot like one of the Inki and the Mynah bird shorts. The small black bird hopped in time to Felix Mendelssohn's "Fingal's Cave Overture."

    You're welcome. The mynah bird's a pretty well remembered character because of that musical accompaniment.

    Curious. The myna bird has that peculiar hop-step. As does Clem Kadiddlehopper, one of comedian Red Skelton's personas. Perhaps I'm too lazy to look it up, but it makes me wonder which character did it first: Inki or Clem?

    I looked up Clem Kadiddlehopper and it looks like he appeared on T.V. in the early 1950s. He was on radio before that (I think 1936). The myna bird appeared in 1939. I couldn't find anything about the hop. Just the bit about Bullwinkle sounding just like him and Red Skelton almost suing.
