    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 will launch Marvel Universe, a dedicated Marvel programming block, with the new series Ultimate Spider-Man as its centerpiece, on Sunday, April 1, it was announced Sunday by Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels, Worldwide at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena, California.

    Marvel Universe on Disney XD will provide exclusive Marvel content, including new animated short-form series, live-action interstitials and the series return of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The block will be home to Marvel's biggest superstars, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America, to introduce dynamic stories of action, adventure and heroism to a whole new generation.
