    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.

    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.

    Do you remember the Dexter's Laboratory Made-For-TV special-cum-movie, Ego Trip?

    Well, I, Timothy McKenzie, have remembered Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip. I have once seen it on New Year's Day 2011 at 7AM on Cartoon Network in my basement.

    And I like that movie besides James Cameron's 2009 science fiction 3D extravaganza, AVATAR, but nothing in Ego Trip or AVATAR is as epic as the climatic battle that pits Dexter and his future selves against Mandark and his future selves in Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip...



    or what James Cameron describes as "The Mother of All Battles", the Climatic War-Cum-Battle that pits Jake (as Toruk Makto, aka Rider of Last Shadow), Neytiri, Tsu'Tey, the Na'vi clans, Norm, Trudy Chacon, and The wildlife of Pandora (a Leonopteryx, Banshees, Direhorses, Hammerheads, Viperwolves, Sturmbeests, and last but not least, the Thanator that Neytiri rides in battle against Quaritch in his AMP Suit), against Quaritch and the so-called "Sky People" (and especially those in AMP Suits, too, especially Quaritch) in James Cameron's AVATAR.

    But alas...there is a difference between Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip and James Cameron's AVATAR and both scenes from both movies.

    You see, while the Na'vi of James Cameron's AVATAR had come across as Performance Capture CGI and brought to life from actors' performances such as those of Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, Dexter, with Dexter and Dexter and Dexter, and Mandark with Mandark and Mandark and Mandark as well as Dee Dee herself are only 2D traditional hand drawn animated cartoons.

    And while James Cameron's AVATAR is made for movie theatres and in 3D and runs between 162 and 180 minutes, Dexter's Laboratory Ego Trip is just a one-hour Dexter's Laboratory made-for-TV special-cum-movie.

    But anyway, I love both Dexter's Laboratory (and Ego Trip as well) and James Cameron's AVATAR.

    What did you think of the climatic battle scene in Ego Trip? And how do you compare and contrast the climatic battle scene in Ego Trip with the climatic battle scenes in James Cameron's AVATAR?
