    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.

    I've often read that Filmation either never outsourced animation at all or never outsourced animation for anything besides its Zorro cartoons. But then I read about "Starchaser: The Legend Of Orion", which is always listed as a Filmation movie animated by Young Sung Production. As someone who's really interested in animation history, I was wondering if anyone else knew why these two pieces of information are both always listed as being true even though they contradict each other.

    "Zorro" was outsourced to the Tokyo Movie Shinsha animation studio. That was the only exception of a Filmation television series animated overseas.

    Filmation's "Sport Billy" series was animated entirely in the United States but first broadcast in Europe in 1979 before it aired on NBC in the USA as a mid-season replacement around 1982. The "Sport Billy" and "Sport Lilly" characters were originally created in Germany as mascots promoting physical fitness. That series ran for 26 half hour episodes.

    So why does Big Cartoon Database say Starchaser, The Legend of Orin was animated by "Young Sung Production Company", and "Daewoo Entertainment"?

    IMDB may not mention Filmation having any role in making "Starchaser", but BCDB does. So which one is right?
