It particularly has some very interesting tidbits on the "early Disney" of the new regime and what it was like to work with a very different Michael Eisner.

I remember reading that from a while ago. It's a GREAT interview and well worth reading every page of.

Wait, isn't Tad Stones working in the Hellboy animated films?

It's something he mentions could be happening.

Actually, it's already happening, Hellboy is entering animation city.

The images I've seen of it are really cool lookin' so far.

Is Tad involved in this? He says he'd like to be if you read the interview, but not that he's actively doing this (yet).

Cool! Good for him.

And impressive that they got the main cast back from the movie to provide their character voices.

If you think that's impressive, take a look at this...

Looks okay. Starts well and kinda trails off into TV level animation. Would have been cool if they kept it DTV level. Still, I think fans will lap it up.

It is going to get a DVD release you know.

Yes, but so does a lot of stuff.

I was saying that the quality would have been better if they had stuck to DTV level. It's really good TV animation they've done here. Nothing bad in that, but knowing it was going to DVD as well they should and could've put a little more time and money into it since it has two bites.

As it is, it's good TV level that will see a DVD release, not a DTV level that will also get shown on TV, if you get ma drift...

I like the part about Eisner pitching the Gummi Bears cartoon: "My kid loves Gummi Bears...." (the candy)

To the artists it first sounded like making a show called "Pepperoni People."

(Or kinda like that Bannanas in Pajamas show?

)
