    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.

    Kaze_Tachinu.jpg Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki’s new film Kaze Tachinu (The Wind Rises) has walked away with the New York Film Critics Circle’s award for best animated film of the year. The film is also a nominee for best animated feature from ASIFA-Hollywood’s Annie Award.

    Miyazaki has gone on to win the biggy– the Oscar– for 2001’s Sen To Chihiro No Kamikakushi (Spirited Away). While the New York Film Critics Circle award is very prestigious, it has never proven to be a good predictor of the year’s Oscar winner. In the last twelve years, the New York Film Critics Circle has only picked 4 films that went on to win the Best Animated Feature Academy Award.

    Miyazaki’s 2008 Gake No Ue No Ponyo (Ponyo On The Cliff) was thought to be his last as director. Hayao Mizayaki wrote or co-wrote all three films.

    I wish his last, Up On Poppy Hill, would play theatrically somewhere close!
