    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.

    This is probably my favorite LT/MM Cartoon without a true LT/MM character in it...instead, we have chariactures of the celebrities at its time...from Dorothy Lamour trying to get Jimmy Stewart to dance to Clark Gabel chasing a lady...which is Groucho Marx all along! And we can't forget Bing Crosby introducing the entertainment!

    I got a kick out of the brief appearance of the Three Stooges. And Mickey Rooney (as Andy Hardy) with Judy Garland and his "father " Lewis Stone.

    They appeared in MGM's series of "Andy Hardy" films in the late '30s,where Stone played Judge Hardy. Those movies, as well as the "Aldrich Family " radio series, were probably the inspiration for the Archie comic books which are still being published today.

    I read an article about how American Comics changed because of the Comic Code of 1954...I won't post it here, but I did look up what you posted and Garland, Rooney, and Stone were alumnus of MGM during the 1930's.
