    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.

    How To Play Baseball, and Baseball Bugs are the first cartoons that come to mind.

    There was "Abner The Baseball," in which-get this--a baseball tells his life story!

    "The Flintstones" had a couple: "Take Me Out Of The Ball Game," in which Fred becomes the umpire for Bedrock's Little League team, and "Big League Freddie" which had Fred knocked out during the company game. He was replaced by his sub, Roger Marble, but lied when Leo Ferocious and Casey Strangle stopped by to sign him up. "The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show" had Coach Pebbles coaching the Little League team after Fred developed laryngitis. Later, there were the specials "The Flintstones Little Big League" and "Wind Up Wilma."

    The Casper short "Spunky Skunky" focused on a skunk whose friends refused to let him take part in their baseball game, because, well, he stunk. "Which Witch" had Spooky ruining Casper and Wendy's day at the beach just because he wanted to play ball with Casper.

    "Right Off The Bat" featured a Native American convincing a baseball manager that a horse would be perfect for the team. This theme was also explored in "The Horse That Played Center Field."

    "Demon Of The Dugout" and "Scooby Pinch Hits" had the mystery solving dog and company up against baseball-related ghosts.

    The "Jackie Chan Adventures" episode "Tale Of The Demon Tail" had the J-Team going to Fenway Park to defeat a demon. One of the few times a real landmark has been seen in an animated series.

    "The Bizarre Batter" was one of the villains pursued by the Impossibles.

    And last, but not least, "Charlie Brown's All Stars." This baseball themed special no longer airs, but it's worth a look. It's also 50 years old.

    And a baseball game was a major part of "It's Arbor Day Charlie Brown".

    Family Guy has a recent episode called "Bookie of the Year". But this is one ep that I like the subplot more...Afraid, Brian, and Frank Sinatra Jr. open an Italian Restaurant, but didn't go well.
