Thor Trailer

Comic Con Extended Trailer

I stumbled upon this very long preview/trailer of the upcoming movie, Thor. I am a sucker for all Super Hero movies. Admittedly, I do not know the story of Thor. I guess I will have to wait until May 2011 to find out.

whimsical journeys by mario graciotti

Artist Mario Graciotti newest art series titled, Whimsical Journeys, contain amazing posters inspired by Disney art. His minimalist and fantasy styles display a simple and intriguing tone. His current collection contains four Disney inspired works and one other, Alice in Wonderland (above), Peter Pan, Fantasia, Winnie the Pooh and The Wizard of Oz. His previous Disney inspired art, presented a slightly different style, yet still had a look of yester-year. Check out his other work here.

anomaly detected

Have you seen Primeval on BBC America? If you're a Torchwood, scifi, or a fan of the unusual, you should check this show out. I've only seen one episode and I am already hooked. iTunes had the first episode as a free download. I have the DVR set to grab all the episodes now. I hope the show continues to entertain.

Here's a few links to get you familiar with the show and maybe a few "related" links.

go go power rangers

Just another day at work. This is me outside one of our conference rooms with a Power Ranger statue. I bet other companies don't have cool picture spots like this. Do you?
   

nightmare coming to blu-ray

I am sooo excited. The Nightmare Before Christmas is coming to blu-ray August 26th. Per the information on the wire, the picture and sounds are wonderfully rich while there are a few brand new extras. Another cool feature included in this purchase will be a digital file available for the consumer to download in your choice of iTunes or Windows format. We finally do not have to buy two copies just to have one on DVD and one for my iPhone. Fox has done this for a just a little while with some of their DVDs. It's about time the rest of the studios catch up. Yay for technology!

the princess and the frog

Enjoy the new trailer for Disney's re-entry into 2D animation, The Princess and The Frog. On a side note, it's Disney's first black princess. I'm looking forward to it. What about you?

where the wild things are

I stumbled upon this video of an early (1983) digital animation screen test. The oh so famous children's story, "Where the Wild Things Are" was used as the story. This test was directed by the once before and now again Disney employee, John Lasseter. One can clearly see his interest in computer animation before heading off to Pixar. Wouldn't it be great to see Disney/Pixar pick the film idea up again. Since Warner Bros has already filmed a live action version that is slated for October 2009, I guess Disney is out of the picture. Enjoy!
