I don't really know, but I'm afraid not.

I believe that Louis Prima's widow was only concerned with people imitating his voice. She is proud of his contirbution to Jungle Book, and doesn't want it diminished by the likes of Jim Cummings. Releasing the original movie is OK, but don't expect King Louie to appear in anything new.

When will Disney start releasing complete season sets of its animated series? So far every TV release has been a mishmash of random episodes (most recently "Timon & Pumbaa" and "Winnie the Pooh"). The only complete set they've done is Season 1 of "Gargoyles" (their best series ever, btw) and I'm eag...

Jamie Foxx would be a good choice except for one potential problem.

As of Sunday night his pay rate probably took a giant leap.

I'm not a big fan of Chris Rock either. I have long thought that his popularity is due more to his ability to shock and offend than to his comic talents. I was pleased that Rock showed some restraint and didn't degrade the Academy Awards, but his performance supports my theory that he's not really t...

It's alright for marketing people to expect big name stars to sell a movie to the public. It's not good for filmmakers to expect big name stars to make the movie successful. So far I've only seen what the marketing people have done. I'll reserve judgement on the film until I see for myself what the ...

Jim Hill has some inside information claiming that Song of the South will be released on Video next year.

I've been watching the Lilo & Stitch series on Disney Channel, and for the most part Daveigh sounds the same as she did three years ago in the movie. Strangely enough, in the new episode that aired last Friday (titled "Skip") Lilo and Stitch skipped ten years into the future where Lilo is a teenager...

This is just from memory. (I'm sure someone can post a link.)

It seems like Heffalump was the last film animated by the Japan studio. The announcement about the studio closing mentioned it as their last project.

Comparing Walt Disney, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Roy Disney: Disclaimer: I don't know any of these people personally, nor have I ever worked for any of them, so this is all just conjecture based on things I've heard and read. Of course there is only one Walt Disney. He was a hands-on producer with an ...

I consider them a subcategory of animated features. I'm a little anal with my collection, but my Disney movies are separated into five subcategories: 1. The "official" 44 - Snow White to Home on the Range 2. The hybrids - Mary Poppins , Roger Rabbit , etc. ( Song of the South is the only one missing...

Oh, yeah. Heh heh. *feeling sheepish*

Welcome back, Ed! I have to admit that I've only seen one of the nominees for animated short ( Lorenzo ), but I was surprised to not see Boundin' on the list. I really liked it (although it seemed and odd pairing with The Incredibles ). How did the academy overlook that one? Were the other nominees ...

Thanks for the clarifications. There are many sources of information for Disney's animated features, but very few for their animated shorts. I've had to collect bits of information from everywhere and piece them together. We're getting off the topic of Lorenzo , but does anyone know if Pixar's short...

I don't mean to sound argumentative. I'm just looking for information. Is the version of "One By One" on the Lion King 2 DVD lacking in some way? And weren't "Bonkers" and the three "Totally Twisted Fairytales" created by the Television group (Disney Toon Studios) and animated overseas? Or have I be...
