    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.

    Disney To Feast In France

    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. Titled The Feast, the short looks to be based on the same stylized CG techniques used on last years Paperman, a more natural and hand-drawn look to computer animation.

    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.

    Jim Seals of Seals And Crofts died yesterday at age 80.

    He and his longtime partner, Dash Crofts, formed the duo in the early 1970's, and had a string of hits from 1972-1978 that included "Summer Breeze," "I'll Play For You," "We May Never Pass This Way Again," "My Fair Share" from the movie One On One, and "You're The Love." His brother, Dan Seals, who recorded with John Ford Coley before becoming a successful country artist, died in 2009.

    RIP, Jim Seals. May the summer breeze keep blowing for you. :(

    Did Seals play mandolin in the duo?

    I know they used the mandolin a lot in their songs.

    ...it was Dash Crofts who's the mandolinist.

    I did learn that "Summer Breeze" was perhaps one of a very small handful of top 40 hits (if not, the only top 40 hit) to involve a toy piano.

    Another big hit by Seals & Crofts that was not mentioned in the original post was "Diamond Girl".

    "Summer Breeze" was covered over the years, particularly by The Isley Brothers, who performed their remake on Soul Train, and their version was later featured on an episode of Scandal in 2014, and most recently on an episode of The Blacklist in 2021 towards the end of Season 8.

    Re: "Summer Breeze"; Schroeder (now a Senior himself) still wants his piano back.
    Re: "Diamond Girl"; that was always a favorite of mine—had such a winning swing to it.
    RIP, Jim Seals.
