I saw this over on Cartoon Brew yesterday and was so impressed with it that I felt compelled to comment on it here. It's just a short promo for the Palm Springs International Short Fest, yet somehow it has excited me more than any animated feature has in recent years. It was created by a studio called MAKE in Minneapolis, and the director/lead animator was Andrew Chesworth. Interestingly, all of

The other day I received a copy of Jerry Beck's new book, The 100 Greatest Looney Tunes Cartoons and was asked by the publisher if I might offer up a review. The book presents a sampling of 100 cartoons that Jerry believes are among the studio's best work, although he himself admits there are so many more that are equally as worthy in various ways. All 100 cartoons are pictured and titled

I came across this poster image earlier today for the upcoming Disney release, Tangled. Now, having seen both this and the recent theatrical trailer for the film, I have to say that I am not too impressed with what it's shaping up to be. As most of you know, Tangled is the new title for the film formerly known as Rapunzel. Why the silly title change? Well, it seems that the Disney brass are

Battle For Terra (2007)
Cast : Evan Rachel Wood, Brian Cox, James Garner, Chris Evans, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, David Cross, Justin Long with Dennis Quaid, and Luke Wilson
Category : Hollywood Movie
Release : 2007
Mala (Evan Rachel Wood) and Senn (Justin Long) are young alien creatures who live on Terra, a planet from a solar system far from Earth. Terra has an Earth-like surface with precipitation and plants, but the atmosphere has no oxygen, which makes it inhospitable for humans. Terra is a peaceful planet of small alien creatures who have a rich culture. After humans destroy Earth and their space colonies in Venus and Mars in a huge war for independence, the last remaining humans escape in a huge spaceship, with the goal of finding a new planet that can support life.
After the space colonists discover that a distant solar system has a life-supporting planet (Terra), the spaceship, which is nicknamed "the Ark", sets course for Terra. The trip takes several generations. As the "Ark" settles into orbit around Terra, it blocks the Terrian sun, piquing the Terrians' interest. However, since the Terrian culture bans the development of new technologies, such as telescopes, none of the inhabitants are able to get a closer look at the huge object in their sky.
Mala, who is inventive and headstrong, goes against the rules of her community and creates a telescope. which she takes out into the dark empty area outside the city and uses to view the Ark and the incoming scout spaceships. She returns to the city to find that the humans' scout spaceships have already started abducting Terrians (who willingly offer themselves to their new "gods"). After Mala's own father is abducted she goads a ship into tailing her and lures it into a trap, which causes it to crash. Afterwards, she saves the life of the human pilot, an officer named Lieutenant Jim Stanton (Luke Wilson). After his personal robot assistant warns Mala that Stanton will die without a supply of oxygen, she creates an oxygen generator and fills a tent with air so that he can breathe. When the robot informs Stanton and Mala that a crucial part of the ship was damaged in the crash, Mala offers to machine the part herself. When Stanton, Mala, and the robot return to the crash site, they discover that the ship has been moved.
The trio track the ship to a huge underground military facility which was built by a previous, warlike generation of aliens. The trio realizes that despite the current peaceful nature of the city, the elders have secretly retained the military technology from the dark days of war. After infiltrating the facility, fixing the ship and flying back to the Ark, Jim orders Mala to stay and goes to be debriefed.
Mala ventures off and finds her father, but before she can rescue him, the human guards are alerted to her presence. While trying to save Mala, her father kills himself and two men after breaching the hull, and she is captured. The commander of the military wing of the Ark, General Hemmer (Brian Cox), takes power over the civilian leaders in a coup, and declares war on Terra. His goal is to annihilate the Terrians so that the humans can turn Terra into the new Earth. He plans to drop a huge machine onto the planet's surface--a Terraformer--which will create an Earthlike atmosphere. Stanton is sent to be in the first group of spacefighters designated to defend the Terraformer.
After the humans drop the Terraformer machine, it begins to replace the native gases with oxygen and nitrogen, which will asphixiate the aliens. The alien elders bring out all of the secretly-hidden military technologies from their secret base, and huge waves of alien glider-fighters attack the Terraformer machine. The human spacefighter ships begin huge and bloody battle against the relatively low-tech alien glider-fighters, and the sky is filled with laser cannon fire and explosions.
Finally, as the Terraformer is close to the completion of its goal of turning the Terrian atmosphere into an Earth atmosphere, Lieutenant Stanton realizes that annihilating all of the inhabitants is morally wrong. He turns his ship towards the Terraformer machine, and, with his laser cannons blazing, attacks it. As his ship is raked with anti-aircraft defensive fire, Stanton fires his air-to-air missiles at the Terraformer, destroying it and himself in a ball of flame.
An epilogue shows what happens in Terra some time later. The Terrians and the humans have decided to live in peace. With the Terraformer machine destroyed, the Terrian atmosphere becomes safe once again for the aliens. The aliens create a huge domed city for the human colonists to live in, with an Earth-like atmosphere. In the human domed city, a large statue of Lieutenant Stanton is erected, in honour of his memory.

Despicable Me (2010)
Despicable Me (2010)
Cast : Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett
Cast : Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett
Category : Hollywood Movie
Release : 2010
The film begins with the news revealing that an Egyptian pyramid was stolen. When super-villain Gru (Steve Carell) heard of this, his pride is wounded and he plans to pull the biggest heist of the century by stealing the Moon.
Gru tries to get a loan from the Bank of Evil and meets a young super-villain named Vector (Jason Segel) who annoys him. However, the bank president Mr. Perkins (Will Arnett) refuses to grant Gru the loan until he obtains the shrink ray necessary for the plan. Mr. Perkins tells Gru that he is getting too old and the new super-villains are younger and better, like Vector who is revealed to be the one who stole the Pyramid of Giza.
Gru and his minions steal the shrink ray from a secret lab in East Asia, but Vector steals it from him and shrinks his ship. Gru attempts to get the shrink ray back from Vector's lair, but all his attempts to enter the lair prove futile. After seeing three orphaned girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and, Agnes (Elsie Fisher) enter the lair to sell cookies to Vector. Gru adopts the girls from Miss Hattie (Kristen Wiig), the head of the orphanage, to use them to steal back the shrink ray. Gru has his assistant Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), build robots disguised as cookies. He then has the girls sell the robots to Vector, and the robots helps Gru steal the shrink ray.
On the way home the girls ask to go to an amusement park. Gru agrees, intending to leave the girls there. Instead, he is needed to ride the roller coaster with them and ends up having fun with them. Back at home, he presents his plan to Mr. Perkins via video while being interrupted by the girls. Perkins again refuses to give him the loan, claiming that although he doesn't have a problem with the plan, he just wants a younger villain to do it instead. Gru has a flashback of his childhood, depicting his wanting to go to the moon after seeing the first moon landing. When he tried to impress his mother (Julie Andrews) with models of the rocket (and an actual working one), she just ignores it. Mr. Perkins calls Vector (revealed to be his son Victor) into his office to inform him that Gru has the shrink ray. He reassures his father that he will get the Moon. Gru almost abandons his plan due to lack of funds, but the girls and the minions take up a collection to keep it going.
However, Gru has to make a choice because the moon will be in the optimum position for the heist on the same day as the girls' ballet recital. Dr. Nefario, seeing the girls as a distraction, contacts Miss Hattie, who arrives to take the girls back. Gru, the minions, and the girls are heartbroken. Gru goes on with his plan and flies to the moon.
Gru successfully shrinks and pockets the Moon. Gru remembers the ballet recital and rushes to it. However, it has ended by the time he arrived. There, he finds a ransom note from Vector demanding the moon in exchange for the girls. After Gru hands over the moon, Vector reneges on the deal, keeping the girls and the moon. This enrages Gru, who storms Vector's lair, this time successfully breaching the defenses. Vector flies off in an escape pod with the girls. Gru holds on to the exterior of the ship. He nearly falls to his death, but is rescued by Dr. Nefario piloting the same ship that Vector shrunk before. Nefario reveals that the larger an object is, the faster the shrink ray's effects wear off. The quickly expanding moon frees the girls from their glass entrapment. Gru rescues the girls with the help of his minions, while the moon destroys Vector's ship and carries him into orbit.
Gru and the girls settle down to live a happy life as a family and Vector is stranded on the Moon with a minion who drank anti-gravity serum. The girls give a special ballet recital for Gru, his minions, and his mother, who finally tells him she is proud of him and acknowledges him to be a better parent. The music changes from Swan Lake to You Should Be Dancing, and everyone rushes on stage to dance as the film ends.

BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD DVD Volume 2 To Be Released Later This Year!
OK, we have already reported here at the Bat-Blog that BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD - VOLUME ONE Animated Cartoon TV Series will soon be released on DVD August 25th ( almost exactly 1 month from now ). Well, here is the cover art for VOLUME TWO that will come out on November 10th, I guess, just in time for Christmas. Now, both 1 & 2 will only have 4 episodes each. Looks like Warner Bros ( or maybe the Cartoon Network ) is trying to stretch out how they release these episodes. It seems logical to me that they might also release these later as a complete set titled "Season 1"...we'll see. This Vol # 2 will also feature the trailer for the PUBLIC ENEMIES: BATMAN/ SUPERMAN animated film that is set to be released around September 29th. Amazon has Volume 1 available for pre-order by clicking here:
