Sorry, missed the first 4 or so minutes so I didn't get the title of this
one... I don't want to do a full review, but did the villan seem like the
Riddler (my fave villan from the Adam West Batman)?  It struck me at the end

Whoa hold the horses, this philosiphy is the major reason that
Animation in America is so Lame. Since when is watching a cartoon a
childlike act? 
 
There are many cartoons that are even MEANT for children. Am I being
Childish watching them? As long as Americans continue to link watching
cartoons with little children, Animation will always take a back
burner to everything else....
 
And lastly childish is usually denotes a person who is being immature,
not one who is acting like a child(USUALLY).
 
Ok so not lastly, What exactly is 'act our age'? Are only 11 year olds
allowed to laugh and enjoy good humor?

You don't understand.  Peter Chung (the creator of Aeon Flux) is merely
making us question our assumptions about the "heroes" we are spoon fed
through the mass media.  Aeon blasts her way through a zillion and one
guards and we instantly assume she's a "good guy."  In the following
segments, we see the cost of her shooting spree, and we are made to doubt
whether she is a good guy at all.  But the overall message is quite
ambiguous.  She goes to heaven, so was she a "goodie" or "baddie"?  The
scientist guy - what was his story?  Did he bump off the old guy and
actually create the virus in the first place so he could "discover" a cure
and become a national hero?

Chung is not making some anti-violence statement, he's trying to show us how
we become desensitized to violence as portrayed on TV by satirizing the
media myth of the violent hero.

Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 20:43:00 GMT

There is a Daffy cartoon on the video, _Bugs and Daffy: The Wartime Cartoons_,
called The Commando.  In this cartoon, Daffy is being chased by a Nazi bird
and runs into a phone booth.  After a series of jokes in the booth, Daffy
hands the receiver (a stick of dynamite) to the Nazi, and tells him the call
is for him.  The Nazi puts the phone up to his ear, and says, "What?  Is that
you, Mert?"  or something to that effect.  Can someone knowledgeable of
that time period tell me what that meant?  I get most of the jokes in those
old cartoons but that's one that eludes me.


Also, in several other war-time cartoons there appears a man with a black
handlebar moustache who says, "AAAAAAAAH, Yes!..." and then goes on to say
something pertinent to the situation.  Could someone tell me who this man
was?  


Thank you to all who respond.

Ron Dippold spoke of a film entitled Beyond Mind's Eye which is a follow-up
to The Mind's Eye and covers computer animation since 1988.

Question:

Since The Mind's Eye has already been available on video tape for the past
year or so, doe thins mean that Beyond Mind's Eye will be coming to video
soon?

If so, when?

I attended a Animation Film Festival about a year ago where a computer
animated short was featured.  I cannot remember the name of the feature
exactly, but I seem to recall the word "spermatazoa" or something like that in
the title. It was about a spore that comes from outerspace, lands on a planet,
roots and thrives, then it completely takes over the planet.  The end of the
featurette has all of the plants that grew from this one spore shooting their
spores off into space, presumable to repeat the actions that took place at the
beginning of the film.  Vicious cycle of doom.  Does anyone know the title of
this film and where it might be available?

	Homeless people are disappearing from Gotham.  Bats goes

I felt like I was watching an episode from THE INCREDIBLE HULK.
Very bad writing on this episode.  Alfred skulking around a slummy
junkyard in his tuxedo!  Smart-aleck bat-computers!  Sheesh.

But the episode wasn't a total loss.  It had some nice action
sequences, even if the animation wasn't all that hot.

That was what I came up with too, but I happened to rewatch the
episode today and when Batman removes the hood of the first costume
the card that comes flying out clearly has "10/6" written on one side
of it, then Batman examines the card and the writing clearly says
"property of..."!

To all the other people reading this:  note that Victor is posting from
Puerto Rico, where the common language is Spanish.  There are
Spanish-language versions of HBO and CINEMAX down there, and it seems of
the Cartoon Channel as well.

Given that the market for the Cartoon Channel seems to be little kids
who don't know better (why else show such <censored> cartoons), it makes
sense they'd get the Spanish-language versions of the episodes broadcast.

It may not have done well at the boxoffice in original release, but it

There is a section about A&M in this book, but it's short and there isn't

To add some info to this.  We were there during the last week in Feb-
ruary 1992 and it was pretty crowded then, too.  Lines about one hour
after opening were 40-45 minutes wait.  If you are a real glutton for

Right.  The Queen Mary/Spruce Goose attraction is history.  Disney's
management contract expired in September.  The Spruce Goose has already
been disassembled and removed from the domed building it was in and has
been loaded onto a barge for its trip to Seatle (they had a neat
picture in the local newspaper showing them removing it from a big
opening they made in the dome).  It has to go by barge since, even with
the wings and tail section removed, the fuselage is too big to take on
any roads.  It's new residence will be in a new aviation museum.
