    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.

PacMan creator Masaya Nakamura dies at 91.

    Mr Nakamura was the founder of Namco, the video game company that developed the game of Pac-Man. The Japanese word for eating is "Paku". Hanna Barbera animated the Pac Man cartoon series in the US.

    Namco also developed the Idolmaster game (players select a girl wanna-be idol singer and make decisions to guide her career to reach stardom and control her dance moves during stage performances ) which spawned several anime adaptations Idolmaster Xenoglossia, The Idolmaster, Puchimas: The Idolmaster (the previous two shows took place at the "765 (nan-ro-go) Productions" talent agency which is a pun of the Namco name) and The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls.

    Namco also created the racing game Pole Position which was adapted to a 1984 Animated series of the same name produced by DIC Enterprises.

    There also was a CGI-animated series, "Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures", that aired on Disney XD in recent years. (But it isn't on anymore.)
