Gummi Bear Reunion — On Line!
Short notice but: Animation writer, producer, and show-creator Jymn Magon is hosting another “webinar” this Saturday, December 11th, at 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time). This time he’s presenting a special 25th anniversary show for Disney’s The Gummi Bears — still a popular favorite animated TV series, to say the least. The two-hour “webinar” will include live interviews with June Foray (the voice of Grammi Gummi), Katie Leigh (the voice of Sunni Gummi), Art Vitello (director), Ed Wexler (layout), Gary Eggleston (backgrounds), Michael and Patty Silversher (theme song composers), Mark Zaslove and Len Uhley (writers), and of course the series creator, Jymn himself. Signing up will cost you $20.00, and you can do so by visiting Jymn Magon’s web site.

Tangled Has Too Much Hair for One Reviewer
By coincidence, nearly my entire staff all saw Tangled on the same day. And they all argued over who would have the honor of writing a review for free. So I King Solomoned the situation, splitting the responsibility. And thus we have another mutli-authored review of a family film we were all too old to be seeing together.
Malin
The great Disney movies have memorable songs, interesting characters, engaging sidekicks, strong villains, crisp dialogue, and beautiful art, and by that standard, Tangled is a pretty great Disney movie.
Rikoshi
While not quite “Pixar Good,” Tangled is still a very charming and entertaining animated film, with some very fun characters and good performances, though the songs unfortunately fall a bit flat by Disney standards.
Jakebe
Great movie, if only because it makes you want to call your mother and thank her for not being a completely insane, manipulative asshole.
Tube
Despite the 3D format, this sweet and sincere story is the first Disney movie in well over a decade to really feel like one of the timeless classics I remember from my childhood: tight storytelling, a great villain, and songs that won’t leave my head days later.
Lovejoy
It’s got all the charm and humor you’d expect from a major Disney animated feature, plus it’s got a horse that acts like a dog, so hey, there’s that too.

The Annie Award Nominees announced
The International Animated Film Society (ASIFA) have announced the nominees for the annual Annie Awards, to be presented at UCLA (in Los Angeles) on February 5th. The Annies are a big deal these days, as they are often (but not always) a good predictor for how the voting will go at the Academy Awards later next year. Now as you may recall, there has been some controversy regarding the Annie Awards this year: Disney and Pixar have withheld their official support, citing what they feel are unfair voting practices that tilt things against them. Whether or not there’s any truth to that or not, the fact remains that Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon has clearly dominated this year’s Annie nominations, with a total of 15. Megamind and Shrek Forever After were also high on the nomination list, with six and five, respectively. On the Disney/Pixar side, Toy Story 3 picked up three nominations while Tangled picked up two. In the TV Animation categories, heavily nominated items included The Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special, Scared Shrekless, Star Wars: Clone Wars, T.U.F.F. Puppy, and eternal favorite Robot Chicken. The Best Animated Video Game Category returned this year and, interestingly, this year there is a new category: Best Character Animation in a Live Action Movie. Only two nominees for the latter: Clash of the Titans and Alice in Wonderland. To see the full list of nominees and find out more about getting tickets to the show, visit the Annie Awards web site.

The Puppy Sister Graphic Novel
The Puppy Sister is a 1997 novel by a well-known author of books for young readers, S. E. Hinton. It tells the comic story of Aleasha, a newly-adopted puppy who decides that her human family will be much better off if she becomes human too — and so, she sets out to do precisely that, and the book details her adventures as told from her point of view. Now, Bluewater Productions have released a new edition of The Puppy Sister as a full-color graphic novel, illustrated by Ramon Salas. It’s available now from (among other places) the Barnes & Noble web site.

Morphicon Miscellanea - November 2010 Edition
He’s a Giant CHICKEN I tell ya!
Elmer is… well, he’s a rooster. That talks. And wears a suit. Here, maybe we should let writer and artist Gerry Alanguilan explain it, like he does on the Elmer web site: “Elmer is a window into an alternate Earth where chickens have suddenly acquired the intelligence and consciousness of humans, where they consider themselves a race no different from whites, browns or blacks, and push to recognize rights for themselves as the newest members of the human race. Elmer tells the story of a family of chickens who live and struggle to survive in a suddenly complicated, dangerous and yet beautiful world. Elmer was originally released in four issues from June 2006 to November 2008, and as a trade paperback in October 2009, published by Komikero Publishing.” Now this black & white series has finally been released in North America by Slave Labor Graphics.
