    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.

    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.

    Patty Duke has died at age 69. Best known for playing both Patty and Cathy Lane," she also played Helen Keller in the original version of "The Miracle Worker," and Annie Sullivan in the 1979 remake. She later starred in "Valley Of The Dolls," was president of the SAG, and penned the autobiography"Call Me Anna." This book focused on a struggle with mental illness.

    RIP, Ms. Duke. You'll always be two of a kind to your fans. :(

    "A hot dog makes her lose control."

    Duke was amazing in "The Patty Duke Show", playing perky American tomboy Patty and Cultured reserved British cousin Cathy in the series. Lots of special effects and the use of doubles to show Patty and Cathy in the same scene.

    She married John Astin ("Gomez" on "The Addams Family") in the 1970s until they divorced in the 1990s. Sean Astin ("Lord of the Rings") and MacKenzie Astin ("The Facts of Life") are their sons who became actors.
