Welcome to the 3rd Animation Source Choice Awards! (the møøse crossed the road)

Each year, Animation Source hosts an awards show honoring the best in animation from the previous year. (a møøse bitte my sister once) This year, we will honor the best in animation from 2013, a wonderful year that included films such as Frozen, Despicable Me 2, and many others! (no, really. my sister was painting her knails and the møøse came up and bitte her hande) The way the ASCAs work is this: you, the members of Animation Source, look at the list [...]

Merry Christmas, Animation Source! We've come to the end of the year, and this year I have made a very special Sourcecast episode to commemorate Christmas! If you don't celebrate Christmas, oh well, here's the episode anyway.

Click the video above to listen to Sourcecast's Christmas special! And be sure to come back next week for info on the Animation Source Choice Awards!

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

It's that time of month again: Sourcecast 2.0 has just released its 6th episode, The Very Hungry Mailbag!

In this episode, I talk about the Balto fandub, review a few fun stuff, and then read all the feedback we've received in our mailbag! Remember, if you wanna help out with Sourcecast, just shoot me a PM! (To listen to the episode, click the video above.)

Be sure to check out the official Sourcecast website, hosted by Conay!

And the Sourcecast section on the Hub!

The site "Total Media Bridge" just posted a very interesting interview of Jymn Magon about the creation of the show.

Read it now! http://www.totalmediabridge.com/interview-with-jymn-magon-talespin/

After much consideration, and encouragement from other members, I have decided to revive the Animation Source Choice Awards once more and see how it goes.

Not to be confused with the Animation Source Awards, which honor members of Animation Source and has been discontinued permanently, the ASCAs honor the best in animation from the previous year. The first year Animation Source hosted the awards, 157 people voted, and the winner of Best Picture was Rio. Last year, however, less than 20 people voted altogether, and I decided to cancel the awards. However, enough people have expressed [...]

Did you know that a second set of the Disney Afternoon vinylmation series was planned for TaleSpin?

Well, guess what, it's on sale RIGHT NOW in the parks and online at the Disney Store!

http://www.disneystore.com

The official Disney fan club, D23, has posted an article on TaleSpin a while ago. It's always nice to see an official Disney site acknowledging the show!

I can't access the article but it seems they've posted this cool art of the Sea Duck cockpit.

If you're a D23 member, the article is here : https://d23.com/tale-spin-concept-art/

Just found that painting of the Sea Duck on the web. Quite good looking, don't you think?

It doesn't seem on sale anymore though, quite a shame!

According to BoxOfficeMojo's release schedule, Pixar films The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory have had their release dates pushed back.

The Good Dinosaur, set to be Pixar's next major release, was due out next June, but now it has been pushed back to November 25, 2015. There may be several reasons for this, but the largest one might be the fact that Jurassic World (aka Jurassic Park 4) is being released during Summer 2015, and perhaps Pixar wants to release a dinosaur film immediately after, while audiences are still on a dinosaur high. Another reason might be because the film simply [...]

We have some new insights on Don Rosa (the famous Duck comic book artist) involvement with TaleSpin.

Here's a modelsheet he did for the episode "I Only Have Ice For You" : (click to enlarge)

Also, a quote from the Don Rosa Collection book set :

"'TaleSpin' was an interesting show -- it was based on old adventure movies of the 1930’s which was certainly one of my interests! I soon was getting enthusiastic about giving it my best shot. I even did storyboards for my own scripts for free, trying to make myself valuable. A screenwriter who can also do his own storyboards was just [...]

Good news, the Disneystore.com site now has the TaleSpin Volume 3 DVD!!!

Sorry it's taken so long, but the next episode of Sourcecast 2.0 is FINALLY up and ready for your listening pleasure! 

In this episode, I call for help by way of a rotation staff, advertise the new site rules, and hand the mic over to Aaronwolf436 to review "Balto"! It's only a short episode, but it's an episode nonetheless - and with many more still to come!

It was long overdue, but a few things are going to change on Animation Source soon.

As you may or may not know, the french side of the site has been running quite smoothly over the past years, but the same can't be said for the english side.
Which is why, the french moderators suggested to help and improve the english side, and they've recently dedicated a lot of time into it!

And here's their first task : "changing" the site rules! Actually changing is a big word, it's more : giving precise details and filling the blanks, the areas which were a blur for everyone.
You'll find the [...]

Disclaimer: I have received permission from a moderator to post this notice.

As of late there has been a lot of issues with users putting blacklists in their profiles and galleries. There is no reason for anyone to be creating these blacklists, all they do is cause problems. And actually, they're against the rules. So if you have one of these in your profile or gallery, then it would be advised that you removed it from your profile ASAP.

I know I'm a bit late on this (by 12 hours), but the teaser trailer for How to Train Your Dragon 2 has officially been released! The trailer reveals little to nothing on the plot, but gives us a first look at a significantly-aged Hiccup, and some GORGEOUS shots of Toothless in flight.

The film releases next year. Let's hope we get another trailer or four between now and then.

After 6 years of waiting, Disney finally decided to release the last DVD set of TaleSpin in the USA!!! And it's AVAILABLE NOW!

It might not be easy to get it, though : this is a Disney Movie Club exclusive, meaning that you must be a member to see it listed.

If you live outside of USA, you're out of luck (registration isn't possible), and you'll have to check out Amazon.com regularly because they sometimes put some of these on their site.

If you live in the USA : you might be interested to join the club, especially if you buy lots of Disney DVDs, because the offer is [...]

There was a forum topic on this, but it wasn't getting much attention, so here's a news.

Sourcecast has an interview lined up for voice actor Robbie Rist. Most of you might know him as the voice of Star in "Balto", but he also has a lot of other credits, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Naruto, and Doc McStuffins.

You are free to ask Mr. Rist any question you wish, and as many as you want; we really want this to be worth his time. The interview has not yet been scheduled yet (but IT WILL HAPPEN), so get to commenting with your questions!

It has been too long since a new Sourcecast episode has been released - almost a full year, actually. But never fear, for a new Sourcecast episode is on the horizon! And now it's YOUR chance to decide what comes next!

The typical Sourcecast format includes news on current and upcoming animated films, news regarding Animation Source, maybe an interview with an AS member, a Plugged-in Review of older films, a review of someone's fan works on the sites, and reading the mailbag. In this next episode, I'll be doing an episode [...]

This cool video game project on "indiegogo" (a similar site to kickstarter) has just been funded, but as it's still running for a day, I thought some of you might be interested into it!

As the author says, "Among the inspirations I could quote Disney's "Robin Hood", the fables of La Fontaine, "Redwall", "Winnie the Pooh", "The Secret of Nimh", "The Dark Crystal", the paintings of Alan Lee, John Howe, Paul Bonner, John Bauer, and many, many others..."

This is the official teaser trailer for Rio 2 which will be released in 2014. Enjoy.

(Click the image to watch the video or click here)

Well, I wasn't going to do this, but I found something that I'm sure I'm the LAST person to find out but...hey, for those of you who are fans on this site, here it is. (Click the image below to view the trailer)

First of all, MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC is getting a theatrical film, which will open up the Los Angeles Film Festival in June and receive a limited theatrical engagement beginning on the 15th. The film, called "Equestria Girls", focuses on Twilight Sparkle traveling through a magic mirror and appearing in an alternate universe where all the ponies are [...]

On April 18, 1983, 30 years ago today, The Disney Channel began broadcasting all over the world. In the last 30 years, it has aired numerous Disney movies, television series, and everything in-between. If you were born anytime after that date, chances are you watched Disney Channel a LOT growing up. It's awesome to see such a milestone from the company, considering their original reliance on ABC to broadcast their content. (They now own ABC. Coincidence?)

Below is a compliation of original promotions for The Disney Channel. It sure has changed a lot in the last 30 years, hasn't [...]

Every year since 2007, the Animation Source Awards have taken place to honor members of Animation Source. However, the popularity the awards once had is definitely not quite there anymore; last year, only 10 people total voted in the final tally, and most of those went to one category instead of the potential dozens offered. Due to this, there is consideration to cancel the awards show this year.

^ Animation Source Awards banner from 2011, where Conay hosted^

Another reason for this consideration is the fact that, despite the best intentions, the awards have ended up almost [...]

You know, I still haven't posted every piece of official stuff I own. For example, here is an interesting paper for a recording session of an episode, which lists the actors and the time of record :

I've always thought that all the main characters had to be there at the same time at the moment of the recording, but it seems not! For "Grual & Unusual Punishment", R.J. Williams (Kit) and Sally Struthers (Rebecca) both did their recording at a different time than the others! Fortunately, this wasn't noticeable at all in the final episode.

I find this interesting, anyway [...]

Yes, folks, Pixar's rolling out another sequel. This time to 2003's Finding Nemo. The sequel? Finding Dory.

Not much is known about this sequel, except that portions will take part around the beaches of California. Most of the cast from the first film will be returning except for Alexander Gould, whose voice of Nemo is too adult-like now to allow him to reprise.

This will be the sixth Pixar sequel, after Toy Story 2 and 3, Cars 2, Monsters University (coming out this summer), and Planes (a Cars spin-off, coming to theaters this Thanksgiving). Finding Dory is currently looking [...]

Yesturday, there was a totally unexpected news that shocked all the video game industry...

After nearly 25 years, the Ducktales NES video game is getting a remake!!! Coming this summer, on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U!

Take a look at any of the news sites comments, to be honest I've never seen gamers being so unanimely positive about a game announcement! Uncle $crooge will make millions again!!!

Now let's hope all this positive buzz will be noticed by Disney and will bring new opportunites for the Disney Afternoon shows overall! Maybe we could see them re-aired? [...]

It's been YEARS since Disney has pushed out new short films, particularly ones starring Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto - you know, the old gang. This was practically ALL Disney made back in the 50s and 60s, but very few have come out since. In fact, the last short they produced was "How to Hook Up Your Home Theater", which saw its premiere in 2007 - 6 years ago.

But now Disney's decided to go ahead and produce a total of 19 new Mickey Mouse short films. In fact, the very first one is already available to view! (Embedding is not allowed with this video, so click the image above to [...]

A fan has sent me a remastered version of "Home Is Where The Hearts Is", aka the song that was tragically cut from the syndicated version of Plunder & Lightning!
