    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.

    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 dood it!" was coined by Red Skelton during the first season of his radio show which began Oct 7, 1941. Skelton had a character called The Mean Widdle Kid. The kid was always up to mischief and would say, "If I dood it, I`ll get a whipping.' After a pause he would say, "I dood it!" The phrase became a national hit. And there was even a song written for Skelton.

    "Malibu Saloon" is Tex Avery's twist on the Malamute Saloon from Robert Service's poem The Shooting of Dan McGrew.

    Avery spoofed the poem twice - as Dangerous Dan McFoo for Warners in 1939, and The Shooting of Dan McGoo for MGM in 1945 (as a vehicle for Droopy).

    "Malibu" Saloon - the name being as far removed as possible from its locale in the Yukon - comes from the former Merrie Melodie.

    ~ Hey, Peter!

    As you probably know, Tex Avery had a serious addiction to silly puns and phrases. His cartoons for Warner Brothers and MGM are chock full of them!

    In "The First Bad Man" (1955) we see a thriving metropolis of ancient texan cave dwellers, progressive, educated, interested in the arts, burlesque, beer, and short beers! Heck Allen wrote a lot of this stuff with Tex and apparently had a grand time doing it! Check it out!
