    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.

    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.

    Hi, I'm a new kid on the block to these forums..

    I noticed that the animated Little Rascals series received low ratings during its run on ABC in 1982-84 (ABC was a very low-rated network at that time before Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? debuted, if I recall).

    But my opinion? I think it was a great show. I may be part of the minority who really enjoyed the show during its 2-year run. In fact, it was my most favorite cartoon of that decade, in my opinion.

    I remember the "Cap'n Spanky's Showboat" episode where an abnormality occurred when Darla wore brushes on her bare feet in one scene. Makes me wonder if Fred Flintstone was her inspiration?

    As much as I would like to see such show on Boomerang someday, it's doubtful it's going to happen any time soon. I read on another thread that the actor who played Porky filed a lawsuit for using his name and likeliness on the cartoon without his permission, and was later settled out of court. That particular actor died in October 2005. I wonder if his death will likely have paved the way to allow the show to air on Boomerang or appear on DVD?

    All I can say is, it was a great show. If it won't appear on Boomerang or on DVD, all I can hope for is for someone to upload episodes to YouTube someday.

    Speaking of YouTube, the Pac-Preview Party from 1982 - emceed by Dick Clark, who would host the debut of The New $25,000 Pyramid the next day - did contain at least one episode of The Little Rascals and is on YouTube, though it's not the same.
