    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.

    Disney XD, Astral Media Inc.'s newest kids' service, and the French-language Disney Junior are now available on Cogeco Cable, Toronto-based Astral announced Thursday.

    Disney XD debuts to Ontario Cogeco Digital subscribers as part of a three-month preview on Channel 99, while the pre-school network, available to Quebec-based subscribers, is available on Channel 89, also part of a free preview. The launches of both of these networks form part of the long-term renewal agreement between Astral and Cogeco Cable for Astral's movie and kids services.

    "It is fantastic to have Cogeco on board with Disney XD and Disney Junior en Francais," said Joe Tedesco, senior vice-president and general manager of Astral Kids. "The high energy and attitude of the Disney XD brand is a unique offering in the Canadian marketplace and one that more households will be able to discover and enjoy as we continue to grow audiences and expand our distribution. Disney Junior is proving itself to be a beloved brand with Anglophone and Francophone preschoolers and their families; we are thrilled to see it launch on Cogeco."

    Disney XD is an advertising-supported network offering series, movies and additional content that highlights accomplishment, adventure, sports and comedy.

Canadian original series on the network include the comedy series What's Up, Warthogs!.

    Like its English-language counterpart, the French-language version of Disney Junior is a commercial-free network that celebrates magical, musical and heartfelt stories. The destination for such popular Disney titles as La Maison de Mickey (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and Jake et les pirates du pays imaginaire (Jake and the Never Land Pirates), Disney Junior also showcases Canadian pre-school productions, including Justin rêve (Justin Time) and the lauded Stella et Sacha (Stella and Sam).

    "The addition of Disney Junior and Disney XD confirms once again the will of Cogeco to offer the best digital services available and create the most comprehensive offer. We are proud to offer the best content from Astral to families, kids and pre-school children," said Ron Perrotta, vice-president of marketing and strategic planning.
