    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. 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.

    With a heavy heart, I have lost my mother. There was nothing more they could do for her and my dad managed to keep her long enough for my grandpa, cousins, my brother and boyfriend to say goodbye to her. She went peacefully--and I knew she was going to go sometime tonight.
    She was only 64, and was married to my father for 38 years. She was a wonderful, kind person who did all she could to make my brother and I good people despite our disabilities. I will miss her profoundly.
    Yet I will remain strong for my family.

    I'm really sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family.
    So many moms have been lost this past 13 months here at the forums. :(

    Very sad news. Good to hear that you and your family were with her at her last days. I know you and your loved ones will have the strength you need for these sad days. My condolences to you.

    My sincere condolences also. Thirty-eight years of steadfast marriage is impressive, especially nowadays. Plus, the fact that you can say "Yet I will remain strong for my family," is a testament to excellent mothering. Integrity like that is the most awesome keepsake possible. My prayers are with you.

    Thank you, everyone. I actually thought I was going to lose her on Tuesday, but thankfully, that didn't happen. My father has told me to stay strong, and I will as long as he will. Lung cancer is a terrifying thing to lose a family member to--and she didn't even smoke.

    I'm so sorry to hear... I STILL can't get over the loss of my mom.

    I hope your father will cope...It sounds like that was probably half of his life. My dad too is a widower and this weekend was hard for him... I wish you peace...

    Mom was DEFINITIVELY half of my father's life. You know what's truly horrible? I just learned I have to sit Shiva (basically go to synagogue for the week starting the day of the funeral which is Tuesday) and that includes my birthday next Sunday. So much for getting to be with my boyfriend for Superbowl Sunday...
