    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.

    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.

    Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of character actor Frank Nelson (born Frank Brandon Nelson in Colorado Springs, Colorado). He died in Hollywood on September 12, 1986.

    Master of the slow burn, Nelson was known for his "Yesssssssss?" catchphrase. Often portraying put-upon foils on radio and TV, he guested frequently on such shows as The Jack Benny Program, I Love Lucy and Sanford and Son. He even appeared on a 1981 episode of Saturday Night Live!

    Nelson often did voice work in animation. He used his catchphrase in a 1960s Tootsie Pop commercial as "Mr. Cow."

    He portrayed the Cat in the 1985 CBS Storybreak episode "The Roquefort Gang." His first word was... "Yesssssssss?"

    The last recorded time he used the "Yessss" phrase was in the 1986 TV special Garfield in Paradise.

    Sometimes Jack Benny co-star Mel Blanc would pay homage to Nelson by incorporating a "Y-e-e-e-s" into one of his voice roles. As well, Nelson was parodied in The Simpsons by a character called the "Frank Nelson Type" (aka "Yes Guy").

    His many TV cartoon series included Snorks (as Governor Wetworth), The All-New Popeye Hour (as Uncle Dudley), The Flintstones (usually as a clerk), The Jetsons and Mister Magoo.
