Consider that both Hanna and Barbera were highly cooperative -- and collaborative -- with the 1994 live-action feature film of The Flintstones .. and ('on the record', at least) were quite happy with how it had turned out. Both were reportedly eager to get a live-action version of The Jetsons off-th...

There's also the matter of several other box-office 'failures' (some deserved, others not as much) which he'd directed at the Sullivan-Bluth Studio in Ireland. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Don Bluth as an artist and director .. but his financial reputation within the animation business ...

or even ..

I rather liked Kyle Baker 's recent 20-issue revival of the Plastic Man comic book; his loose 'cartoony' style is very appealing, and worked well with the light humor.

Yes, it's a bootleg .. not a legitimate commercial release .. etc. -------- Song of the South was legitimately released on NTSC Laserd...

Yeah; I dunno if anyone's noticed (or would even really care), but I don't post on Animation Nation or Cartoon Brew anymore .. and I used to be fairly prolific on both sites (well over 1600 posts on AN).
