    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.

    The Hub has officially announced it's 2012-2013 Upfront. Three new animated series have been confirmed: Care Bears: Welcome to Care-A-Lot, Littlest Pet Shop and Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters.

    Read all about it here.

    News of the new animated series seems impressive, but honestly, I'm underwhelmed by the news that The Hub's nighttime lineup is still going to consist solely of 30-year-old sitcom reruns. Sure, they have Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, which was a 90s sitcom, but the rest of the lineup feels like The Hub is wearing Nick at Nite's hand-me-downs. The Huboom lineup is so bad that it's makes Adult Swim look good. I understand that the network is still young (The Hub only debuted in October 2010) and Hasbro most likely can't afford to produce a lot of original programming, but their nighttime lineup is flatter than day old soda. Why not air some more unconventional acquisitions or some sketch comedy series like Mystery Science Theater 3000 or The Uncle Floyd Show or The Red Green Show? Heck, you could even throw the syndicated reruns of The Carol Burnett Show or The Monkees in there for a mild point of variety. That wouldn't tarnish the network's family-friendly image.
