    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.

    Fox announced Monday that it's cancelling its long-running crime-stopping series America's Most Wanted.

    Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly told reporters that the show was no longer profitable.

    The series, which profiles men and women wanted by law enforcement agencies has been on the air since 1988. A few years ago it announced the capture of its 1,000th criminal.

    The network will air four quarterly two-hour specials next season, but the Saturday night mainstay will be replaced by repeats.

    Here are some cartoon references to Fox's longest-running show:

    Some Enchanted Evening(The Simpsons; Klasky Csupo/Gracie Films, 1990)
    America's Most Armed and Dangerous is a takeoff of the show.

    The Neitherworld's Least Wanted (Beetlejuice; Nelvana, 1991)
    Title reference.

    Lisa's Rival(The Simpsons; Gracie Films, 1994)
    Bart says, "Remember how I got Milhouse's picture on America's Most Wanted?"

    The Flintstones (1994)
    This live-action movie version of the Hanna-Barbera series spoofs the show as Pangea's Most Wanted.

    Springfield's Most Wanted(The Simpsons; Gracie Films, 1995)
    This special was aired before the premiere of the season opener; hosted by John Walsh (from America's Most Wanted), it offered up all sorts of theories and insights into who might have shot Montgomery Burns.

    Hero Boy(Freakazoid!; Warner Bros. Television Animation, 1996)
    America's Most Hated is a take on this show and even features a John Walsh lookalike.

    Cartman's Mom Is Still A Dirty Slut, Part 2(South Park; Comedy Partners, 1998)
    This show comes to South Park to report a murder.

    Screwed The Pooch (Family Guy; 20th Century Fox Animation, 2001)
    The hotel that Brian and Seabreeze hidein has a sign reading "As seen on America's Most Wanted."


    The late Don Lafontaine, the show's announcer for its first two decades, did some voice work in animation, most notably as the announcer on Disney's Fillmore!. Wes Johnson, who succeeded him, has guested on individual episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast(1996) and Phineas and Ferb(2009).


    "And remember, you can make a difference." -- John Walsh, America's Most Wanted
