    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.

    We're all pretty savvy people here at the DataBase, so there's probably already a thread about this here. If so, please forgive us, and mods, feel free to delete this if it already exists.

    While cleaning our closet yesterday, we came across the TV Guide for the week of Aug. 2, 2002, the one which featured their 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time. We all knew something like this would be controversial, but as Space Demon points out, this list has more holes than a pack of Swiss cheese!

    Anyways, here's their list:
    1. Bugs Bunny
    2. Homer Simpson
    3. Rocky & Bullwinkle
    4. Beavis & Butt-head
    5. The Grinch
    6. Fred & Barney
    7. Angelica Pickles
    8. Charlie Brown & Snoopy
    9. SpongBob Squarepants
    10. Cartman
    11. Bart & Lisa Simspon
    12. Fat Albert
    13. The Powerpuff Girls
    14. Daffy Duck
    15. Pikachu
    16. Gumby
    17. Betty Boop
    18. Top Cat
    19. Mickey Mouse
    20. Popeye
    21. Gerald McBoing Boing
    22. Scooby-Doo
    23. Underdog
    24. Josie & the Pussycats
    25. Heckle & Jeckle
    26. Arthur
    27. Winnie the Pooh
    28. Felix the Cat
    29. Mr. Magoo
    30. George of the Jungle
    31. Ren & Stimpy
    32. Tom Terrific
    33. Tweety & Sylvester
    34. Bill (as in "I'm Just a Bill")
    35. Space Ghost
    36. Yogi & Boo-Boo
    37. Mighty Mouse
    38. Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote
    39. Superman
    40. Batman
    41. Daria
    42. Wonder Woman
    43. Donald Duck
    44. Alvin
    45. Boris & Natasha
    46. Woody Woodpecker
    47. Porky Pig
    48. Bobby Hill (from King of the Hill)
    49. Speed Racer
    50. Tom & Jerry


    -OK. Maybe it's just us, but SD and I feel that this list is, shall we say, a trifle incomplete, not to mention waaaaay off-base in some areas. For example, as much as some may like Pokemon, and as big a phenomenon as it is, there is no way on this green Earth that Pikachu should've ranked above Mickey Mouse! Nor should Daffy Duck be ranked below Beavis & Butthead! Also, I feel that placing Angelica on the list and not Tommy Pickles was a cheap shot, plain and simple. You could kneel down and ask a 3-year-old whose show Rugrats is, and they'll tell you "Tommy's the star." At the very least, they could have listed both of them. And while it was flattering to see the Powerpuff Girls make the list, this was 2002, the same year of the PPG movie, so part of me is cyncial enough to believe that the only reason they were put on the list is so TV Guide wouldn't be left out of the movie hype. Plus, the only 2 anime characters to make the list were Pikachu and Speed Racer. So where was Goku?!? I mean, come on! regardless of whteher you like Dragon Ball Z or not, it was a culural phenomenon, so it should've been mentioned here. Goku deserved to be on the list more than Arthur! Who besides the kinder even watch that show?? For that matter, where was Garfield??? He's won Emmys, for crying out loud! And why was Donald Duck ranked so far down?!

    And that's just scratching the surface. I'm curious to hear everyone else's opinions on this so-called "list".
