    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.

WB overusing DongWoo and Lotto Animation?

    I wonder if I was the only one that noticed this, but it seems since around 2001-2002, Warner Bros. Animation has been usually outsourcing their work to Dong Woo Animation Co. Ltd (now DongWoo A&E) and Lotto Animation in Korea. This stumps me because while they do use other Korean studios (such as Saerom Animation, Starburst Animation and Yearim Productions), their most-frequent go-to studio for overseas animation is DongWoo Animation. In fact, if you look at almost 80% of their shows made since 2002, you will noticed that at least one episode has been animated by DongWoo Animation. Even many of their direct-to-video productions had DongWoo Animaton involved! In fact, take "ScoobyD-oo: Mystery Incorporated." Guess who animated most of the episodes? DongWoo Animation Co Ltd.

    Their other go-to overseas studio of choice is Lotto Animation, having animated many of their productions. Lotto usually specializes in animating "realistic" and action-themed cartoons. I almost have a suspicion Lotto is tied into Warner Bros. in some way, as I have almost never seen Lotto work with any other company (they might have worked with Adelaide Productions at one time, but I could be wrong.)

    Now, I am not criticizing DongWoo's work, but it does seem WB has very little variety in overseas animation studios these days. Plus, other studios have been picking up on using DongWoo as well, like 4Kids, Adelaide Productions and Cartoon Network Studios, but Lotto still mostly only works with Termite Terrace.

    As for us Looney Tunes, DongWoo had only worked on "Baby Looney Tunes" and "Loonatics Unleashed" :barf: . But Lotto Animation's output we work with actually looks surprisingly good! But the only time of any of us worked in something with Lotto Animation's involvement was that "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" episode "New Mexico, Old Monster"...

    Does anyone else wish "The Looney Tunes Show" looked like this?
    Ironically, DongWoo and Lotto did NOT do any work on "The Looney Tunes Show" for some reason... Warner wanted to stick with Rough Draft Korea (only other time prior to this did WB use Rough Draft was those awful 2003 theatrical-intended shorts Sander Schwartz produced) and Yearim Productions (and Toon City in the first season), along with Crew972 doing those weird CGI shorts I had to star in [​IMG]. I think Lotto would have done a good job animating the characters on the Looney Tunes Show...

    Did anyone else notice this too?
