    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.

    About 13,000 gathered Tuesday night in a Chicago arena for a star-studded send-off to Oprah Winfrey's quarter-century reign on national TV.

    The talk-show queen -- born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, not Chicago! -- was honored in Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular, which will air in two parts May 23 and 24.

    Winfrey's final original Oprah Winfrey Show will air May 25, ending the most-watched daytime talk show on American TV.

    Her role as Eudora in the 2009 Disney feature film The Princess And The Frog earned her -- along with the rest of the voice cast -- a nomination for last year's Black Reel Award for Best Ensemble.

    Winfrey voiced Judge Bumbleton in DreamWorks Animation's Bee Movie (2007).

    She was Gussy the Goose in 2006's Charlotte's Web, an ill-fated remake combining live action and animation. This film was ranked by Box Office Mojo at #23 on its list of worst openings for films at 3,000 or more theaters. It opened at $11,457,353 (13.8% of its $82,985,708 total gross) in 3,566 theaters, or $3,212 per screen.

    In the 1999 DiC Entertainment special Our Friend Martin, Winfrey provided the voice of Martin Luther King's wife Coretta Scott King.

    Nicole Draco voiced Oprah(!) in A Million Little Fibers, a 2006 episode of South Park. In it, Towelie gets over his drug addiction and writes a moving book about his experiences. Thanks to Oprah's support, the book becomes a best-seller, and his story inspires millions to turn their lives around. However, when he's caught in a lie by the grand dame of daytime television, Towelie's old habits start to look might appealing

    Debra Wilson voiced her in Hmmm...Tastes Like and Behind Family Lines, two 2002 episodes of Disney's The Proud Family. Pamela Tyson voiced her in the Robot Chicken episodes Midnight Snack(2005) and Day At The Circus(2006).

    She was also depicted in Oprah Drops A Da Vinci Load, a 2006 episode of Current TV's Super News!. Other characters were Dan Brown, Tom Hanks, Jesus Christ, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise and L. Ron Hubbard.

    Episode 106 of the short-lived (six-episodes!) Cuppa Coffee Animation series Starveillance had Winfrey as one of the clay-animated characters.
