    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.

    As a kid (late 80s/early 90s) I loved watching this cartoon.
    If I remember correctly, it's about a group of fireflies who needs to get to a special flower before the break of dawn on the first day of spring, otherwise spring will not come (or something along those lines).

    I remember that the style of the cartoon was very cute. The fireflies all had extremly puffy cheeks.
    There is also a caterpillar that helps the group.
    I also remember one of the fireflies being trapped in a bottle. Possibly by a boy, but she manages to free herself by twisting the lid from the inside.

    When they finally manage to get to the flower the first rays of sun hits the flower and they form a ring, holding hands and flying around the flower. I don't know if this is a fabricated memory, but I think the view zooms out to show how all the fields burst out in bloom (from the flower) or all the snow melts or something.

    I really hope someone remembers this. I've been googling and searching for a long time without success.
    Thanks in advance!
