    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.

    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.

    Does anyone know about what cartoons originally had end credit sequences running as long, or about as long, as their opening sequences... and how long the trend lasted?

    FOR THE RECORD:

    The Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape/Mumbly Show (Hanna-Barbera/MGM, ABC-TV, 9/11/76-11/27/76)
    Closing credits consist of four (then three) alternating scenes: of Tom, then Jerry, then Grape Ape and then Mumbly (all in medallions). Music is the Tom & Jerry/Mumbly "Set Your Dial" theme. When Grape Ape left the series, his scene and unique production credits were edited out of the closing sequence. Closing logo is the large 1974 version of Hanna-Barbera's "Abstract Rainbow H-B" followed by the 1973 version of the MGM "Leo" logo.

    The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour (Show) (Hanna-Barbera, ABC-TV, 1976-1977)
    Closing credits consist of three (or two?) alternating scenes: of Scooby-Doo, then Dynomutt, and finally, Scooby and Dynomutt together (or was it just the first two I mentioned - Scooby solo and then Dynomutt solo?). Music begins with a 20th Century-Fox-esque "marching band" horn part, and includes the verse fill (which is edited out of the syndicated Scooby-Doo Show closing theme) before the "They make a super pair/With a super show to share"/"Come on, get involved/There's a mystery to solve" refrain and interlude (edited slightly from the opening theme version). Closing logo is the 1974 version of Hanna-Barbera's "Abstract Rainbow H-B."

    The Plastic Man Comedy-Adventure Show (Ruby-Spears/DC Comics, ABC-TV, 1979-1980)
    Closing credits have same scenes as opening sequence, less announcer; then after about 30 seconds, the production credits appear, which consist of four still scenes (on backgrounds colored blue, green, light blue, and yellow with two red horizontal bars above and below) from the series. The original SatAM broadcast would also have scenes of The Plastic Family (PM with wife Penny and son Baby Plas), Mighty Man & Yukk, the cast of Rickety Rocket, and Fangface & Fangpuss (the other segments in this block). Closing logos are Ruby-Spears' "Rising R-S" followed by Filmways' "Trail" (both from 1978).

    Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (Hanna-Barbera, ABC-TV, 1977-1978)
    Scooby's All-Stars (Hanna-Barbera, ABC-TV, 1978-1979)
    Closing credits have same scenes as opening sequence, less announcer; then after about 20 seconds, the production credits appear, which are on an "explosion" background. Closing logo is Hanna-Barbera's "Abstract Rainbow H-B" (1974 version for 1977-78 season; smaller version, with Taft byline, for 1978-79 season).

    There are countless others I can't name, but this is gonna be quite exhausting for a single post.
