Several possibilities have been floated in the big thread. Existing forum: http://www.animationshow.com/forums/index.php?showforum=8 I still seem to be banned from there. Also, we could go all retro and retake usenet: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.animation.warner-bros/topics Funny to think we...

And yet I feel fine and happy about the whole thing. It certainly feels time to move on.

I don't know how many of the younger members realize how popular Uncle Tom's Cabin was in its day. The book was adapted frequently into stage plays.

I also forgot to mention, this movie has A LOT of animation mistakes. Major ones. Like at the start of the movie, when Robin and John climb up the tree, and watch the guards run off, they do NOT have any arrows on them. Then a few seconds later, John has an arrow through his shirt, and Robin has an...

If you mean what this episode is about: this is an episode of Chipmunks Goes to the Movies that's inspired by Splash, a 1984 Tom Hanks comedy about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid. Oh OK (trying to put the memory of that slop behind me, since I knew it was also dumb then despite them doing o...

As much as I (and probably many others) might agree with you, I doubt Paramount (or any other company) is really going to take seriously what one anonymous cartoon fan that calls himself "King" Delbert says.. If a company thinks The Alvin Show is worth releasing in its entirety, they will.. We only...
