    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.

    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.

Anyone Remember "Pryor's Place"?

    I remember, during the 1984-85 season, there was a children's show that aired on CBS called Pryor's Place. It featured the funny, yet controversial, comedian in the wake of his then-current success in the R-rated movies he starred in during that time. Does anybody remember that show? I watched a piece of the premiere episode, and it contained a reference to the game show The Price is Right. I haven't viewed any more episodes after that.

    The theme song was performed by Ray Parker, Jr. - who had recently, at that time, enjoyed a 3-week run at #1 on the Billboard charts with "Ghostbusters", and the setting was in the same fashion as the then-highly popular kids' show Sesame Street, set in a neighborhood and featuring many puppets.

    I heard that Pryor's Place lasted only 3 cycles before it was yanked off the schedule around June 1985. Why didn't it last? Was it because Richard Pryor was rejected by parents, and was seen as a bad role model to kids who are in their 30's now? At least he never used bad language on the show.

    EDIT: Just realized this has to do with TV, and should be moved to the Non-Animated Movies and TV forum. Mods, please move this thread to the rightful forum.
