    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.

    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.

    "Pound Puppies" was the third Hanna-Barbera animated series of the '80's to have dogs as the protagonists. But unlike "The Biskitts" and "Foofur," I just wasn't into it. I did see at least one episode during its network run, and I can tell you Katrina and Brattina were so evil that even Cruella De Vil wouldn't have wanted anything to do with them. Later, I saw an episode on Cartoon Network, or some other cable channel, when Cooler played "The Twist" on a jukebox. I guess H-B had Chubby Checker's permission to use it. Either that, or the classic is in the public domain by now.

    I think I once read something written by a naysayer who claimed Holly's "Puppy Power," that is, her ability to talk to the dogs, bordered on the supernatural or occult. He also mentioned that in one episode, when a pup was ailing, she asked him or her about their chances of meeting in the afterlife. Or perhaps I got this series mixed up with something like it.

    So I just didn't waste my time seeing the antics of these cute little canines. And that also goes for the prime time special that preceded the series, "All New Pound Puppies," and the movie "Pound Puppies: The Legend Of Bigpaw." Not to mention the new version on The Hub.

    Trivia Question 11: Which "Pound Puppies" episode is a takeoff on a classic Heart song?

    Answer: "Dog And Caterpillar."

    The series was based on the Tonka Toy plush doll line. Amusing.

    Pat Carroll used the same Katrina Stoneheart villiainess voice in her role as tentacled Ursula in Disney's "The Little Mermaid" movie and tv series.

    The "Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw" film used some of the same tv show voice actors in the same roles (Cartwright, Buzzi, Ward) but was not animated by Hanna-Barbera.

    regular voices:
    Dan Gilvezan (Spiderman/Peter Parker in "Spiderman and His Amazing Friends", Bumblebee in "Transformers") as Cooler the leader...who was cool like Happy Days' "Fonzie as his name implied.

    Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson) as Bright Eyes who wore her hair in a bun
    Ruth Buzzi ("Laugh-In") as Southern Belle pooch Nose Marie
    Robert Morse ("How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying") as the Harpo Marx-like
    but verbose Howler
    BJ Ward as Whopper the baby pup who exaggerated things a lot
    Ami Foster as Holly the girl who ran the Pound Puppies' pound.
    Pat Carroll as villainess Katrina Stoneheart who hated dogs
    Adrienne Alexander as Brattina, Katrina's spoiled niece who hated dogs too.
    Frank Welker as Catgut, Brattina's mangy cat.
