    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.

    Paul Reubens, best known for his iconic role as Pee-Wee Herman on several movies and on the Saturday morning kids' show Pee-Wee's Playhouse, passed away at the age of 70 after battling cancer for six years. He portrayed his iconic character in the 1985 film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and in the 1988 film Big Top Pee-Wee - both of which he also wrote. His iconic character also appeared in the 1987 film Back to the Beach.

    Aside from Pee-Wee, he also voiced Max, the voice inside the spaceship in the 1986 Disney film Flight of the Navigator (one of my two most favorite live-action Disney films, along with 1995's Heavyweights) - which sounded like a lower-pitched version of Pee-Wee Herman, and he was credited as Paul Mall. He also voiced Jokey Smurf in the first two CGI/live-action The Smurfs films in 2011 and 2013 respectively.

    During Playhouse's final weeks on CBS, he sparked controversy in July 1991 when he committed an act of indecent exposure in a movie theater, which prompted CBS to pull Playhouse off the air several weeks prematurely (by that point, the show was no longer being produced on his own terms due to the show's declining quality) and was replaced by reruns of The New Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy. He pleaded no contest in November that year and was sentenced to 75 hours of community service - of which he produced two public service announcements about the dangers of drugs.

    He kept a low-profile during much of the 1990s. After the 1991 scandal, Playhouse had since aired in reruns in some countries, including Adult Swim in the U.S. from 2006 to 2007, and I believe YTV in Canada may have aired reruns of the show in the 1990s at some point.

    He later reprised his role as Pee-Wee Herman in his final film role, Pee-Wee's Big Holiday, released on Netflix in 2016.

    Sad loss for fans of Saturday morning fare. R.I.P. Paul.
