    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.

    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.

    Movies Unlimited has "done it again" by releasing UPA: The Jolly Frolics Collection, a set of 38 cartoons produced by United Productions of America at the height of animation's golden age.

    These cartoons have been sought by collectors for years. Columbia Pictures released the UPA short films in theaters during the late 1940s to the late 1950s. UPA was known for its inventive and stylish work, creating cartoons enjoyed by children and adults alike.

    The UPA cartoons were the home of the cantankerous, near-sighted Mr. Magoo, who is featured in this collection in his debut, the 1948 short The Ragtime Bear. The studio also played host to the Dr. Seuss-created Gerald McBoing Boing, a boy who speaks in sound effects, featured in three shorts here, including his self-titled Oscar-winning first effort, released in 1950.

    Additionally, UPA: The Jolly Frolics Collection showcases cartoons featuring The Fox and the Crow, directed by animation great John Hubley; the Academy Award-nominated Madeline, based on the beloved children's book; an animated adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart, narrated by James Mason; and The Unicorn in the Garden, based on the writings of James Thurber.

    Each of the 38 shorts on the collection has been digitally remastered, and animation experts Leonard Maltin and Jerry Beck contribute commentaries. Extras include examples of production art, marketing materials and a booklet that covers the UPA animators and their work, retailing for $39.99. UPA: The Jolly Frolics Collection is being released in conjunction with Turner Classic Movies.

    Movies Unlimited specializes in hard-to-find movie classics. UPA: The Jolly Frolics Collection can be ordered through its Web site at www.moviesunlimited.comor by calling 1-800-4-MOVIES. The Philadelphia-based company also publishes the annual encyclopedic Movies Unlimited DVD Catalog.
