    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.

    Shrek, Gingy, Po and Tigress are making their way to the cloud!

    Beginning today (Monday) at more than 3,500 Walmart stores in the United States, movie fans can now gain digital access to current DreamWorks Animation titles -- including Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu PandaandHow To Train Your Dragon-- through Walmart's exclusive disc-to-digital service powered by VUDU, the industry-leading video streaming service. DreamWorks Animation is the sixth major Hollywood studio to partner with Walmart to give Americans the freedom to access their previously-purchased DVDs and Blu-ray movies in the cloud.

    "Once again, Walmart is breaking new ground in helping consumers understand the opportunities of new technologies amid the changing digital landscape," said DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. "We are thrilled to make DreamWorks Animation's current library of films available as part of their disc-to-digital service, which we view as a positive step forward for the industry and for consumers."

    Customers can now receive digital copies of their previously-purchased movies from DWA, Paramount Home Media Distribution, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

    "Walmart's disc-to-digital service answers our customers' desire for new and flexible ways to enjoy their movie collections," said John Aden, executive vice- president for general merchandising of Walmart U.S. "DreamWorks Animation's existing lineup of blockbuster films is a powerful addition to the extensive list of titles available to our customers today and we're proud to have them on-board."


    The process to convert previously purchased DVD/Blu-ray movies to digital copies is quick and simple:

    * Customers bring their movie collections from the participating studio partners -- DreamWorks, Paramount, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal and Warner Bros. -- to their local Walmart Photo Center.

    * A Walmart associate will help them create their own free VUDU account.

    * Customers tell the associate how they would like their movies converted:

    * Convert a standard DVD or Blu-ray movie for $2; or

    * Upgrade a standard DVD to an HD digital copy for $5.

    * Walmart will authorize the digital copies and place them in the customer's VUDU account. No upload is necessary, and customers get to keep their physical discs.

    * Customers can log onto VUDU.com from more than 300 Internet-connected devices to view movies any time, any place.


    Walmart Entertainment supports UltraViolet, the movie industry's initiative currently in its beta phase, which allows consumers to put their purchased movies into a cloud-based digital library and keep track of them safely and securely. Walmart is able to offer customers the ability to watch and purchase UltraViolet-enabled titles directly from VUDU. These enhancements to Walmart Entertainment's services are the first of their kind from a major retailer, and they mark an important milestone in the expansion of digital home video ownership.
