Huge Stash of Disney Model Sheets

Model sheet for Alice in Wonderland, Disney

This may be old news to everyone else, but it's new to us. And new to us means quality. There's a freaking arseload of Disney model sheets that have been scanned in and placed online over at Disney Informer, which doesn't appear to have a functioning front page, else we would link to it.

Found via the new blog by a bunch of Pixar folks, Spline Doctors.

Harold and the Purple Crayon: the Complete Series DVD cover art

Film:
DVD:

Written by Melody Fox and Carin Greenberg Baker, based on the books by Crockett Johnson
Starring Sharon Stone and Connor Mattheus

Features:

  • 16-page activity booklet

Released by: Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment
Rating: NR (suitable for all audiences)
Region: 1
Anamorphic: N/A; appears in its original 1.33:1 format.

My Advice: Rent it to try it out on your kids and then buy it if necessary

Harold has an incredible talent. With his amazing purple crayon (that never needs sharpening), he can create all kinds of new worlds for him to enter and he has many amazing adventures in these very purple worlds. Most of his adventures take place on nights that he's having trouble sleeping. Anyway, he enjoys having adventures in the rain, with musicians that he's created, and flying through the air!

Aardman Animation Lost to Fire
Posted on 10.10.05 by Widge @ 9:17 pm

Wow, could we have some more bad news, please? I'm just itching for some more tragedy in the world, aren't you? Let's see, thousands upon thousands dead in Asia, America's First Amendment getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild, and now in Britain, word that Aardman Animation's building is gone.

That's right. Gone. Everything from Creature Comforts, from the first three Wallace and Gromit shorts, Chicken Run all of it. Burned up and gone. And if the one picture I've seen from the CNN site is any indicator, it's a complete wash.

The timing is way too convenient for this: right after opening weekend of their second feature film in the U.S.? Who's responsible? Joss Whedon? Because Serenity is getting great reviews but outperformed by clay miniatures? I don't know. I'm way too goddamn depressed now.
