Miyazaki story boarded his films by himself. I have collected the Japanese DVDs where you can step in between Miyazaki’s story boards and the final film. To my surprise they look almost exactly the same. Same timing, same posing, almost the same drawings, just cleaned up a bit. You can’t say that about most animated… Read More »Miyazaki Howls!

My favorite Celebration blogger, Barb,… Read More »Behind the Facade at Disney World

The best I can tell is Disney has decided to come out in favor of gay marraige and has started producing these caketoppers for woman… Read More »New Caketopper at Walt Disney World?
The Walt Disney World animal care team has been excited as Kendi, a first-time mom, welcomed her new baby daughter, Kayla, to Disney’s Animal Kingdom family. LPwire reports that a baby Rhino has been born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Can’t wait to see Kendi out of the savannah and will post pics as soon as… Read More »Baby Rhino at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
