Thanks.

We can get passionate about our views here too, but generally we're a nicer, certainly cleaner, bunch than many other forums you'll find out there. And we try to keep things PG rated as much a possible.

Glad to welcome you here...we'll expunge that JHM badness from your soul one post at a time...

We did have a thread talking about the new Disney shorts, but not this link.

GREAT!

Confirmation of Goldberg on "Princess And The Frog", him on another Mickey-Donald-Goofy short...and some juicy gossip on upcoming stuff. Neato!

yeah the article was a terrific read. It's so exciting to see what's in their pipeline. And Goldberg on Princess is awesome. He's so talented.

So far, Goldberg's only biggest feature break was co-directing "Pocahontas"--and nobody really noticed who directed it, although it puts some of the funny-raccoon stuff in context--he hasn't really gotten a shot at becoming a breakout "name" director.

Closest he ever got was practically stealing the entire "Fantasia 2000" out from under the rest of the directors, with the flamingo and "Rhapsody in Blue" segments.

I don't actually think Eric's out to <I>become</I> a name director. He's already a name animator, and very happy with that, I think.

He was sort of brought on board Pocahontas...it was Mike Gabriel's film from the beginning and he had most control over it.

Goldberg seems satisfied where he is.

Eric Goldberg was also the 'animation director' for Looney Tunes: Back in Action .. and was 'attached' to direct an animated version of Where the Wild Things Are (also for Warner Bros) .. which, sadly, never came to pass.

Yeah, that was a great article! Loved all the info on the Goofy short, and early info on Nessie and Chris Willaims' short.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any discussion on this yet. (Or did I miss it?)

I finally saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets yesterday (which I enjoyed very much), and along with it the new Goofy cartoon (which I also enjoyed very much). The cartoon wasn't mind-blowingly, incredibly super-awesome; it was another cute, funny, well-animated Goofy cartoon just like the ones made sixty years ago. Considering that time span, I suppose that part of is pretty incredible.

Even the end credits looked just like the original cartoons'. It was odd seeing that familiar background and font with names like Andreas Deja and Michael Giacchino.

Anyway, I liked "How to Hook Up Your Home Theater" very much. Has anyone else seen it?

I have - I quite enjoyed it, and the audience seemed to like it as well. A few people even clapped at the end, but stopped rather awkwardly when they realized no one else was.

Like you said, it's wasn't amazing, but it was very cute and very entertaining. Congrats to the team who worked on it!

(Oh, and on a side note, I liked National Treasure as well.)

Unfortunately, I have yet to see it.
