    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.

    ok...I've been suffering from too much work, lack of sleep, and not enough play. I've been meaning to get a decent review up about Sinbad, but I'm also suffering writer's block on top of all that. Anyway, here are some thoughts I jotted down right after seeing the film. Hopefully this will spur some conversation.

    Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas - 2003
    Directed by Patrick Gilmore and Tim Johnson

    Some impressive animation and exciting sequences highlight this current incarnation of Sinbad. The story is ok... there is a quest and there are multiple obstacles (nothing new there), the villian is interesting - in a seductive way - but not terribly terrifying, the voice work is adequate, the score is not offensive, yet still the movie is fun and often thrilling, if not terribly memorable.

    I thought that the love interest, though not very original, actually worked well here. What was lacking was the clever repartee that was heard in Dreamworks' El Dorado which this film reminded me of in style and tone.

    The combination of CGI and traditional animation did not work in all spots, causing some distractions, but usually worked effectively enough. The distractions that were caused were tempered by the terrific action scenes that they were part of.


    Still, the movie kept the interest, was often exciting and at times pretty clever and funny.
