    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.

    Just in time for the holidays, the Christian Broadcasting Network is airing seven episodes of its Emmy-nominated animated series Superbook on ABC Family Channel.

    Beginning Monday, December 24, the following episodes will air at 9:30 a.m.:

    December 24: "A Giant Adventure," the story of David and Goliath
    Tuesday, December 25: "The First Christmas," the story of Jesus' birth
    Wednesday, December 26: "In the Beginning," the story of creation and Adam and Eve
    Thursday, December 27: "The Road to Damascus," the story of when Saul becomes Paul
    Friday, December 28: "Let My People Go," the story of Moses and Israel's exodus from Egypt
    Monday, December 31: "The Ten Commandments," the story of Moses and the Israelites receiving God's laws
    Tuesday, January 1: "Roar!" the story of Daniel and the lions' den

    "We are so excited to continue our mission through CBN's Superbook DVD Club and our Superbook series that will help us reach a new generation with the message of Jesus Christ," said CBN CEO Gordon Robertson.

    CBN launched the animation series Superbook in Japan in 1981 as an adventure-fueled cartoon whose mission was to bring the Gospel to the Asian nation.

    Since the first episode aired, more than a half-billion people have viewed Superbook. To date, Superbook has been dubbed in 43 languages and broadcast in more than 100 countries. There are plans to produce a total of 104 episodes over a period of eight years.

    CBN and a team of Emmy-winning artists and storytellers (whose credits include Mulan, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast) are collaborating to repurpose the series in CG animation.

    "The tremendous technology advances in animation have enhanced Superbook," said Robertson. "Animation is extremely popular around the world with children and adults alike. CBN's new version of Superbook will be viewed and enjoyed by a new generation of viewers."
