The person who had to dance to death in red hot shoes was Snow White's
stepmother, the evil queen, in the Grimm's version.  She had believed S.W.
was dead, but when she asked her mirror The Question (you know), right before
leaving for a wedding she was invited to, the mirror said the new bride was
fairest.  The queen was furious, and she went to the wedding to see who this
new threat to royal vanity was.  Knowing that she was coming, someone at
the wedding (the dwarves?  I don't remember), had red-hot shoes waiting, and
when the queen got there, they slipped the shoes on her, and she was forced
to dance in them until she dropped dead.  Typical gruesome Grimm's ending,
but arguably justified I suppose.  This is from my memory of the story as
told in my Grimm Bros. collection.  Anyone who can add/improve this info
is more than welcome and actively invited to do so.:-)

Especially since Cybertron is the name of the company that made the robots
and Cyberdyne is the company that made the Terminators.  Hey!  We had a

I think my summary would be "good idea, executed in a mediocre manner."
Still, between Bruce's impressions of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, the use of the
alternate version of Jingle Bells everyone is familiar with, and the pure
fun of satirizing the Christmas Specials some of us older farts remember
(not with much affection), it definitely had its moments.

Does anyone out there know when Batgirl is going to show up?  She's

This nostalgic fan really wants to know.

A year ago in New Zealand, one of the kiddies programs showed a most 
amazing animated movie. It was called The Pirates of Darkwater and it 
it was amazing!. But being the anal retentives that they were, the
people who made the kiddies program would cut to the 2 presenters as 
soon as a segment of the movie ended. Thus, I did not get to find out
who made it or where it was made. Now, what I want to know is whether 
someone has heard about this and can give me some information on it. 
This would be greatly appeciated:)

You know, if you look at the old Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies, a lot of 
the gags that you find were lifted from the classic comedies of the time.  So
what's your point?  :)

Seriously, if you take TTA *as a whole*, the series stands on its own two feet
very well.  The tributes and references are in there more or less to show
the heritage the Tiny Toons have (not to mention, who are the teachers at
Acme Loo?  You got it, the Looney Tunes).  There are quite a few ideas and
concepts in the program that are all their own, though.

As far as I can tell from my (realitively) short time on alt.tv.tiny-toon,
no one there has ever said that TTA was completely seperate from the original
LT/MM's.  The show *is* its own entity, and avoids wholesale lifting from
the classic WB 'toons, but a hommage here and there never hurts. :)

I'd suggest watching TTA on a regular basis.  You'll see what I mean.

Don't forget the Blue Falcon when you're talking about Dynomutt!  And the

_Jeannie_, who tried to bring back Barbara Eden's "genie in a bottle" as

This is the one I was waiting to hear!  In 1949 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
against the practice of 'block bookings'.  Block bookings involved studios
only offering a theatre hit movies if they also agreed to pay for newsreels,
cartoons, etc.  Once this ruling passed, theatre owner refused to pay extra
for cartoons.  *This* was the beginning of the end.

	One of the best books I've read on BOTH the art and technique
of animation is called (I think) "Disney Animation: The Illusion Of
Life" (Thomas, Frank and Johnston, Ollie.  Abbeyville Press, New York,
1981).  It's in the bibliography of almost every paper I've seen
written on animation (be it cel, clay, computer, etc...).  It's an
amazing book (although I did have to specially request it to be
removed from a locked box in the art library at my university).  The
Disney folks basically taught themselves (and in the process,
*invented*) the methods for doing the most realistic animations.  This
book follows their entire path.  It has an incredible amount of useful
information, not to mention many beautiful frames from various Disney
and non-Disney films.

	I'd suggest buying it EXCEPT for the fact that the price is so
high.  If it were even down around the price of college textbooks...
well, if I have to say "down" to get to those outrageous prices, you
can guess about this one.  :-\  I'd suggest checking a college
library... you may get lucky.

	There's several other books that are often mentioned as
references or good do-it-yourself animation training books.  Is it
worth my time to type in a list?

Disney was not the first to do this. Rossini's opera _La Cenerentola_ has

	I have commented here earlier on Disney's genius at making
money.  The guy who invented the cel collection market takes second
place.  Take a drawing from which you can make an infinite number of
Xerox copies, then get some poor schmuck or schmuckette to paint
those copies for you at $10.00 an hour (and they paint six cels in that hour
or lose their jobs) and then turn around and sell it for $350.00.
Genius.
	Now, if the cel were certified one of a kind and signed by 	
Natwick, Disney, Jones, Tissa David, etc., then, maybe.

According to a news report I saw, the average theatre gets 75%
of its revenue from the concession counters (which is why they don't
let you take your own food in--of course, that's never stopped me...).
The report also featured a clip from a concessionaire training film,
where all the impressionable young concessionaire minds were being 
taught to say things like, "Can I get you something to drink with
that?" and "Will that be a large?"
