    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.

    Here are some more 1979 Plastic Man tidbits:

    When the show entered syndication, my guess is that the closing title theme on the 1979 episodes had edits in two areas so that the music didn't end so abruptly after the 1978 Ruby-Spears logo finished out, so that any Worldvision, Turner or Warner Bros. Television logo would appear cleanly where the Filmways logo normally had been (this editing practice also occurred on Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo Movies when it had initially entered syndication, so that their 1979 Swirling Star logo could play w/o it taking over the main closing title theme). On the original ABC broadcast, the audio would've been exactly the same length as the opening theme (minus, of course, the narration and sound effects), and it would have finished out over both the R-S and Filmways logos (a la Fangface and some 1978-80 ABC Weekend Specials produced by R-S).

    The 1980 Plastic Man/Plastic Family/Baby Plas episodes (billed under the title The Plastic Man/Baby Plas Super Comedy Show) had the closing title theme short enough so that it left enough room in the audio for the main jingle for the Filmways logo.
