    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.

    Vangelis, the Greek artist whose biggest hit was the Chariots Of Fire theme, has died at age 79.

    In 1982, he took the stirring instrumental to #1 on the Billboard charts. It was the first instrumental to top the charts in the 1980's, with the last one being the Miami Vice Theme by Jan Hammer.

    RIP, Vangelis. You will be missed. :(

    Always enjoyed his collaborations with Jon Anderson. He invited Vangelis to join Yes; Vangelis said "No, why don't you join me?"

    Too bad Vangelis and Rick Wakeman never performed together...maybe they did.

    It's also a shame that Robin Williams and Ray Liotta never were in a film together...the closest they got was Tim Burton's Batman.

    But I'm certain Williams and Liotta may perform on the other side.

    My most favorite song by Vangelis is his collaboration with Jon Anderson of the band Yes, a song titled "The Friends of Mr. Cairo". The video has plenty of references to gangsters and film noirs, particularly The Maltese Falcon.

    R.I.P. to a wonderful musician.

    Yes, I have that song. It's hard for me to pick a favorite Jon & Vangelis song, but that one is near the top. FYI: That's Kathleen Turner's favorite song, because of all the Hollywood references.
