    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.

    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.

    Two new animated specials -- Hallmark's hoops&yoyo Ruin Christmas and The Elf on the Shelf: An Elf's Story -- make their debuts when CBS shows off its holiday-season programming.

    Rebroadcasts of CBS's animated seasonal favorites will also return with encore broadcasts of the animated holiday specials Yes, Virginia, A Flight Before Christmas and The Story of Christmas.

    Also scheduled are the annual visits of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.

    CBS's holiday programming includes:


    Thursday, November 24
    hoops&yoyo Ruin Christmas (8 to 8:30 p.m. ET/PT) -- This new animated holiday special presented by Hallmark follows the unexpected adventure of the comical pink kitty and green bunny team hoops&yoyo after they become accidental stowaways on Santa's sleigh.

    Friday, November 25
    The Elf on the Shelf: An Elf's Story (8:30 to 9 p.m.) -- A new animated feature based on the bestselling holiday children's book The Elf on the Shelf follows one of the many scout elves from the North Pole who helps Santa Claus determine who to put on the naughty and nice lists.

    Tuesday, November 29
    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (8 to 9 p.m.) -- The classic holiday special, narrated by Burl Ives, who is also heard as the voice of Sam the Snowman, is a music story based on the popular song of the same name by Johnny Marks.

    Friday, December 9
    Frosty the Snowman (8 to 8:30 p.m.) -- Frosty, that "jolly, happy soul" whose old silk hat full of magic has turned him into a musical Christmas legend, once again demonstrates his unique showmanship.

    Frosty Returns (8:30 to 9 p.m.) -- The magic still in his old silk hat, the holiday season's perennially popular original dancing snowman continues his adventures and skates on the edge of danger. Jonathan Winters is the narrator, with John Goodman as the voice of Frosty. (Rebroadcast)
    Yes, Virginia (9 to 9:30 p.m.) -- This animated special is based on the 1897 true story of Virginia O'Hanlon, an 8-year-old girl who inspired the most famous newspaper editorial of all time by asking "Is there a Santa Claus?" Neil Patrick Harris, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Alfred Molina voice key characters. Beatrice Miller (Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs) voices the role of Virginia (Rebroadcast).

    Saturday, December 10
    The Flight Before Christmas (9 to 10 p.m.) -- An animated holiday special about a young reindeer with ambitions of becoming an expert flyer like his father features the voices of Emma Roberts (Hotel for Dogs) and comedian Norm MacDonald (Saturday Night Live). (Rebroadcast)

    Saturday, December 17
