    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.

    Van Williams, TV’s Green Hornet, Dies at 82 - SFGate

    Played the crimefighting (but masquerading as a criminal outlaw) Green Hornet in the one season tv series in 1967 with Bruce Lee as his martial arts-skilled partner and valet Kato. The Green Hornet and Kato battled Batman and Robin in the "Batman" series (from the same producer William Dozier) to a draw. Williams played the director of a Green Hornet episode in the 1993 Bruce Lee bio-movie "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story."

    Williams starred as detective Kenny Madison in the detective series "Bourbon Street Beat" and later joined the cast of "Surfside Six" as the same character after "Beat" was cancelled. Williams also starred in the 1964 comedy series "The Tycoon" with Walter Brennan and in the live-action NBC Saturday morning adventure series "Westwind" in 1974 as the skipper of a sailboat who sailed with his family on various adventures.

    Died of renal failure in a rest home in Arizona.

    "Westwind" actually aired in 1975.

    Thanks. It was NBC's attempt to program live action shows on Saturday morning (mostly from producer Wm. P. DeAngelo) with unsuccessful results. "McDuff the Talking Dog", "Muggsy", "The Red Hand Gang", "Search and Rescue: The Alpha Team", and "Westwind" were cancelled in mid season.

    "The Kids from CAPER", "Big John Little John" (from "Gilligan's Island" and "Brady Bunch" creator Sherwood Schwartz and starring Robbie Rist and Herb Edelman), and "The Monster Squad" (with a pre-"Love Boat" Fred Grandy and a pre-"Webster" Henry Polic II) lasted one season. "Run Joe Run" lasted two seasons.

    I think only "The Pink Panther" and its various component cartoons ("The Inspector", "The Ant and the Aardvark", and "Misterjaw") were the only representative in the animation series on NBC during that period.

    The complete series of "The Red Hand Gang" and "Big John Little John" were released on DVD.
