    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.

    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.

    Bob Carroll, Jr., a writer for several series starring Lucille Ball, died Saturday in Los Angeles after a brief illness. He was 88.

    Born on August 13, 1918, Carroll wrote 33 episodes of I Love Lucy. These included "Vitavitamegamin" and the episode where Lucy tries to make chocolates very fast in the chocolate factory.

    He was the longtime writing partner of Madelyn Pugh Davis. Together, they served as writers not only on I Love Lucy, but of Lucille Ball's radio show, My Favorite Husband, and the various Lucy series that followed: The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and Life With Lucy.

    He, Davis, Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf shared an Emmy nomination in 1956 for Best Comedy Writing in connection with the I Love Lucy episode "L.A. At Last."

    Carroll and David were nominated in 1971 for an Emmy for Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy for the Here's Lucy episode "Lucy Meets the Burtons." (Yes, Liz and Dick guested!)

    In 1992, Carroll received the Laurel Award for TV Writing Achievement from the Writers Guild of America in connection with his life work.

    Services are pending.
