    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.

    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.

    Another tragic loss today. Prince, the legendary singer, and star of "Purple Rain" died today at age 57.

    Born Prince Rogers Nelson, he had his first hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover," in 1979. He had a few minor hits after that, but didn't become a household name until his 1982 album "1999." With that, the hits kept coming, including "Little Red Corvette" and the title track. A year later, he starred in "Purple Rain," which spawned his first Number One song" When Doves Cry," There were many other hits from 1984-1992. He was also known for wearing purple clothes in concert. For a while, he became "The Artists Formerly Known As Prince," and changed his name to a strange symbol. He took ill a few days ago, and went to his estate to recover.

    RIP, Prince. We'll always party like it's 1999. :(

    Please forgive me, but I had to look up this clip after his death.

    In all seriousness, he died too soon.

    Also contributed to the soundtrack to Tim Burton's "Batman" movie in 1989.

    Denied "Weird Al" Yankovic permission to record a parody song of "When Doves Cry".

    Declined to sing in the "We Are The World" group singalong music video although Prince did contribute a solo song to the album.

    Very talented and unique musician.

    However, there was a parody of that song I came across in an old magazine: "When Ducks Fry" by Wince.

    Prince also declined a duet with Michael Jackson's "Bad" because of the first line of the song!
