If only I lived in Hollywood – sniff-sniff. In my book, Ray is the Grand Uncle of the current trend of CG movie characters. With titles like Sinbad and Clash of the Titans, he put heart and soul into everything he did. If you are lucky enough and are a fan of the amazing Ray […]

Well, it wasn’t long ago that Big Idea’s CG feature Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie had two big distinctions about it. One, it was the movie that buried Big Idea up to its neck in financial problems; along with some other poor management deals. Two, it was, for a short while, the highest grossing Christian movie […]

Well I guess my Magic 8 Ball was right when I asked it if the last Rings movie would break the golden billion dollar mark. Which it did, in style I should say, doing it in 1 less week than the golden boy itself, Titanic. But unless every young lady in the world wants to […]

My bro-in-law sent me this very interesting article from the San Francisco Chronicle. It seems there could be a little school yard justice going on in the animation world. Wonder if they could just settle it all with a good old game of death volleyball. You remember that game don’t you? Maybe not if you […]

So big I don’t think there is a rod and reel combo big enough to pull this big boy in. Not only did Finding Nemo move up to the #8 World Wide Movie of all time slot, it did it with some style and a few extra bucks. If it can pull in another 40 […]

It seems Invader Zim is back on the air, for how long I don’t know. All I know is that is playing right now on NickToons and wasn’t playing just a month ago. I’ve check my Tivo listing out and it seems Invader ZIM is playing at all sorts of times and dates from Saturdays […]

The next time you pop in the Finding Nemo DVD for the kids, or for yourself (wink – wink, you big kid you), don’t be so hasty to hit the play button. Just let the main menu sit there for a minute and be ready to laugh. I wouldn’t have gotten this if I didn’t […]
