Hey There, It's Yogi Bear has already been announced for release on December 2nd .. I'm with EricJ ; I think a Huckleberry Hound, volume 2 DVD boxed set (which would contain as-yet-unreleased Yogi Bear short cartoon segments) would be the ideal 'movie tie-in' DVD release. :idea: .. and (as long as ...

You can always check out eBay for the coins, a few weeks after this promotion starts .. :idea: I'd wager that a healthy percentage of those who claim these 'Disney Rewards' exclusive items do so with the sole intention of placing them into secondary collector's markets like eBay, or local 'flea mark...

Actually, GeorgeC .. Neal 's (bolded) question was pretty brief; it was his 'follow-up' that got slightly long-winded. (a 'crime' of which all three of us have been 'guilty', on occasion) ;) -------------------- In answer to the (admittedly broad) question .. much depends on the quality of the film-...

James Newton Howard's "Flying" from (the live-action) Peter Pan has been used as the underscore for Disney's 'theme park' ads for the past year .. if that means anything to you. It seems to go well with Disney imagery from various films. JNH's themes for Dinosaur , Treasure Planet , and Atlantis hav...

I don't think you're a dolt.

But I do think you're over-thinking the concept of 'Disney canon' .. and perhaps taking it way too seriously; which can be 'off-putting', to some folks. :idea:

Hopefully, a complete Dexter's Laboratory DVD boxed set will follow close behind .. Columbia House had released a series of DL DVD's, about 6 or 7 years ago .. but I'd 'passed' on them, feeling that Cartoon Network would certainly soon release a DVD set of their (then) 'flagship' original show. I wa...

It's mid-September -- so, don't expect much. :? :idea:

I will likely go see Igor this weekend, though; I haven't been to the movie theater since WALL-E.

IIRC, the cost of the DVD set is actually (a tiny bit) cheaper than taking Richard Williams' actual, 'in-person' Master Class Workshop .. plus: you can work at your own pace .. concentrate on & review any subject at any time, etc. For someone like myself -- who works in & around animation and visual...

I ordered my copy a few months ago, and I'm patiently waiting for it to ship in November.

No, no, wait .. I mean, I'm IMpatiently waiting for it to ship in November. :wink:

If you can get Boomerang, it's very much worth it. It's basically what Cartoon Network was , 15 years ago: cartoons, 24/7, with no commercial breaks. Hanna-Barbera cartoons (from the 1960's-90's) are the most-represented, but there are regular blocks of old theatrical M-G-M and Looney Tunes shorts, ...

<I>George Lucas</I> is the only man James Bond can trust!? :wink: I'm pretty sure that's Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), from Casino Royale (very interesting that Bond would choose to trust him again, after the events of that film!). He has way less 'neck' than Lucas .. but at a glance, there is some ...

I enjoy the very first story 'arc' of Dragon Ball (pre- Z ), which was essentially a spoof of the chinese 'Monkey King' legends. Once the focus of the series shifted away from that, and became "FIGHT of the WEEK" .. I lost interest pretty quickly. ------------- As it happens, this also summarizes my...

Eh. I enjoyed Ariel's Beginning ; it was what I'd hoped for .. which is to say, a DTV vehicle that prominently features Ariel's sisters (characters which, as I'd said before, have long been 'personal favorites' .. and who hadn't gotten much attention from Disney, until now). It was nowhere near the ...

Be aware that imported DVD's from Japan will require a 'Region-2' or 'Region-Free' DVD player in order to play in the U.S. :!: (this is not an issue for imported japanese blu-ray discs, since the U.S. and Japan are now in the same 'Region' for that format) --------------- For anyone curious, the sho...

It's Wilbur Robinson's cousin, Tallulah , from Meet the Robinsons .. who is perhaps more easily 'recognizable' in fully-rendered CG 'stills' from the film; my current avatar image is based on an early concept drawing of her: http://www.studioharlow.com/AN/Tallulah_ConceptStills.jpg There's a fairly ...
