In regards to the hiring taking place at Imagineering, the positions are only
in the R & D Department.  I personally know that R & D did NOT lose any people
in the layoffs.  As a matter of fact, R & D is picking up some people from
other departments.  So, its not a question of replacing non-performers.

As far as the layoffs go, it hit many areas.  VPs, secretaries, artists,
librarians, guards, and more were let go.

Ok, Stephanie, since you appear to have the definitive answers (:-)), do you
have a date for when the news Afternoon and Saturdays shows start? 
r.a.animation says the new Batman series on the Warner Brothers Afternoon
starts September 7.

  Almost correct. It's really the species. The comics are from artist
  Andre Franquin (very famous in Europe) - if you can lay your hands
  on stuff from his pen, get it and read it.
  Spirou & Fantasio is a series wherein the Marsupilami had its first

  I can't say that for America, but at least here in Germany there are
  several versions of this plush Marsupilami. And stickers, and rubber

The only thing that warrented the PG rating is the fighting/violence.
I took my 5.5 year old son yesterday to see this movie.  He loved it
and wants to see it again.  He loves martial arts type fighting in
movies.  So the amount of fighting in the movie was what made it a
success for him.  If your kid is into the Ninja Turtles and enjoys them
he wouldn't have a problem with this movie.

Actually, there was one thing they did (perhaps overdid) in this movie
that I (as a mom of a future ninja) was grateful to see.  The boys get
into a few confrontation with their peers and because of how they have
been taught to use their ninja skills avoid actually fighting with
them.  They saved their fighting for the real nasties (all adults).

     What do you mean by "Special Effects?"  Do you mean rotoscoping?
     According to Leonard Maltin's "Of Mice And Magic," the rotoscope was
     actually invented by Max Fleischer.  He was experimenting with it
     before Disney made the "Alice" live-action-and-animation cartoons.

Organization: Just put everything on the floor; I can find it.



MICKEY MOUSE BOX SET:  Seventy-eight classic songs from the rich legacy of Walt
Disney have been collected on the three-CD box set "The Music Of Disney: A
Legacy In Song", due in stores September 29.  For the first time ever, the
Disney musical archives have been tapped to collect songs from cartoons, films,
television programs, and the theme parks, including six previously unreleased
recordings.
   Those half dozen new tracks include Angela Lansbury's demo track for
"Nobody's Problems" from the film "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"; Sean Connery's
demo of "Pretty Irish Girl," re-recorded by a vocalist for the film "Darby
O'Gill And The Little People"; two original cast recordings, "I'm Late" and
"Unbirthday Song" from "Alice In Wonderland"; "You Belong To My Heart" from
"Three Caballeros"; and the theme from the television show "The Wonderful World
of Disney".
   An additional 14 tracks long out-of-print are presented in their original
song format, including two hits by Annette Funicello, "The Strummin' Song" and
"Mr. Piano Man".  The three discs are intelligently broken into distinct time
periods and musical sources.  Disc one covers music from Disney's animated
features from 1928-1963, opening with "Turkey In The Straw" from the very first
Mickey Mouse cartoon "Steamboat Willie".  Disc two covers the animated films
from 1964-1991, up to and including songs from "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty
And The Beast".  Disc three offers highlights from Disney's many live action
films, television programs (including four tracks from "The Mickey Mouse Club")
and theme parks.
   Each track is reproduced in its original mono or stereo format from the
master tapes.  "The Music Of Disney" comes with a lavish 60-page full-color
booklet, penned by Disney researcher David Fisher, which explores the history
of these songs through text, photographs, and interviews with the songwriters
and composers.

For one reason only.  We just came back, and Dixie Landing's is identical

Dixie versus 1 for P.O. and on every bus we took, the driver had to turn
Dixie people away because of full buses.  Plus coming back to the hotels, 
P.O. is the first stop.

Please excuse my posting to this group, but it is the safest, and
most appropriate group I could think of for such an inquiry.

I am a big fan of the old 1930-1970 cartoons, those put out by
Warner Brothers, Disney, Hanna-Barberra, MGM. These cartoons were
designed to amuse both old and young, and I find them very entertaining.

The Warner Brother cartoons are well documented in 3 books: 
Bugs Bunny: 50 Years And Only One Grey Hare
I Tat I Taw A Putty Tat
That's All Folks

The WB cartoons are also well represented by well over a dozen video
tapes that one can purchase, including the 12 set "Golden Jubilee" series.

I happenned accross a few great MGM tapes:
Tex Avery's Wacky Classics (4 volumes of hilarity)
MGM Cartoon Festival
Droopy Dog and Friends
The Adventures of Droopy Dog
many Tom and Jerry Tapes

These are my favorites, particularily the Tex Avery stuff. I would love to get
a good book on the MGM stuff, and would like to know how to find out wether
any other cartoon tapes of this type of stuff is available.

Disney seems to be well represented by books and video's also, the Disney
video's don't appear to be the best value tho ($15 for 3 cartoons, 23 minutes
total in lenght).

Is there a group to discuss this type of animation? Can you suggest
any good reading on the Tex Avery and MGM cartoons? (I am considering
ordering the $40 Tom and Jerry book). Are there any other studio's who
put out similar stuff? Any other recomendations (tapes or books)?

thanks for listening.

I know you said you wanted a LaserDisc, but other people I've talked
to have wanted VHS, so for them, and you if you need to, as recently
as a couple of months ago, Waldenbooks, yes, that's right, the book-
store, had LOTS of copies for about 26 bucks each.  

It may have been a fluke in this area, but the stock seemed to be

Hi;

	From what I recall reading in the Orlando Sentinal the other
week, "Off His Rocker" was done by some folks at Disney/MGM
Studios in Florida.  It started off as some sort of experiment being
done in the spare time of some of the animators to see how well 
computer generated animation and traditional animation could be integrated
together.  Apparently when they were finished/close to being finished,
some of the big-wigs saw it and thought it was good and decided to
release it.  When I saw it, I thought it looked more like a siggraph entry
and less like a traditional Disney cartoon.

Nahhhh!!!!! Couldn't possibly be - I mean they *told* us that Snow White
would never be released on video - right? I'm sure they wouldn't have lied
to their fans and customers - right? Oh but wait - the "new" and "improved"
version didn't exist then - so it will be OK to release it.....

 I can't help but wonder how long it will take them to start adding 5-10
minute scenes to each film so that they can get another release out of
each film....
