'Stop-Motion' and 'Performance Capture' ..? :? Those are kind-of mutually exclusive. Unless this is some sort of 'mixed-media' project .. It's Tim Burton, so I'm officially intrigued .. but I hope it looks nothing like the 'sexed-up' photo in that article; I hate it when (so-called) 'creators' do th...

Might it have been Danger Mouse ..? It was the first regular cartoon series broadcast on Nickelodeon (well before there was such a thing as "NickToons"). It was, of course, a 'pre-existing' Cosgrove-Hall cartoon from England. Actually, most of Nickelodeon's content prior to 1990 was 'pre-existing' s...

Casino Royale (40th Anniversary Edition) Hold on a second...there was a "Casino Royale" before the Daniel Craig film? Actually, there are two versions of Casino Royale that preceded the Daniel Craig film. The first was a 'TV movie' , aired as an episode of the anthology series Climax! in 1954 (pre-...

I don't have any PS3 games, yet .. but I do have a few PS1 & PS2 games, so I figured it was better to buy one now, than wait. It's still hard for me to believe that Sony figures backward-compatibility isn't 'desirable'. :roll: The only PS3 game title which even mildly interests me ATM is a 'driving'...

A couple of titles not-yet-mentioned which fit your criteria: Animating Culture: Hollywood Cartoons from the Sound Era by Eric Smoodin .. an excellent study of how the 'golden-age' animated shorts both reflected, and influenced, the 'trends' of their times. Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made .. Th...

Wakko's Wish was the DTV 'swan song' .. but there was also the Animaniacs Super Special , a one-hour 'finale' for the TV series, which was mostly a parody of the Star Wars films. Tiny Toon Adventures likewise had the It's A Wonderful Tiny Toon Christmas Special , in addition to the DTV How I Spent ...

As for the main disc - I'm disappointed in the lack of a commentary track, as well as alternate language tracks (I really wanted to watch this in French!). The Ratatouille blu-ray disc contains french and spanish dialogue tracks. Selecting an alternate language track also 'swaps' in rendered text i...

After the huge success this past July with Warner's 4-DVD release of Popeye the Sailor - Volume 1: 1933-1938, fans have often asked us when we'll see more! Well, Warner Home Video isn't saying, but as you know...we've got spies everywhere! A couple of our retail friends gave us the heads-up that th...

Okay .. I finally took the 'plunge' into Blu-Ray, this weekend. :twisted: I got the Playstation 3 60GB (which preserves the 'backward-compatability' with PS2 games .. a feature which has been removed from newer PS3's), and a 40" 1080p Sony HDTV which will play a dual role as a (huge!) computer monit...

Betty Boop has always been, first and foremost, a 'sexy' cartoon character. I honestly don't see how this is much different from, say, the licensed merchandise that depicts her in skimpy bathing suits (or in the 'nude', in a bathtub), as a 'biker' chick, belly-dancer, or any number of other tittilat...

Couldn't you retrace your steps?

hm; I've never heard of that title. I'm glad you found it, though!

Looks like it was japanese, after all ..

eddievalient .. you're under arrest!

oops! I mean, you're right! It was one of the little old ladies in the land of the dead (I don't think she had a name), upon Victor's announcement that they were moving the wedding party 'upstairs'..

Your turn!

As a 're-cap', the current quote is:

"Upstairs..? I didn't know we had an upstairs!"


hint #1: it's from an animated feature

The 'pretend' fight, where Oscar the "Sharkslayer" throws Lenny to his 'doom' in front of the other sharks (and the whole reef city).
