cool cinemagraph from Flixel...

I've become obsessed lately with Cinemagraphs.

Finding new ones and creating my own.

Here's one I created from one of 2017's best films:
A GHOST STORY

DISNEY'S LIVE-ACTION REBOOTS OH NO THEY DIDN'T!

Oscar Mickey, by the numbers...

Some Mickey Mouse facts on tonight's OSCARS (literally)...  

 - Tonight's nomination for GET A HORSE! is Mickey's first Oscar Short nom since "Mickey's Christmas Carol" in 1983,

 - If it wins, it's the first short with Mickey to win since LEND A PAW in 1941...

 - If it loses, it's fifth in a row, joining  "Squatter's Rights" (1946), "Mickey and the Seal" (1948), "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983) and "Runaway Brain" (1995).

 - GET A HORSE! is the third Disney short to be filmed and released in 3-D.  The first was "Melody" and the second was "Working for Peanuts" both in 1953...

 - Walt Disney Animation Studios won Best Animated Short last year for "Paperman."   It was the first Disney animated short film to win the category  in 43 years (since "It's Tough to Be a Bird" in 1969)...

 - Mickey Mouse was the first non-human recipient of an Oscar.  In 1932, Walt was honored for his creation, although Mickey's short "Mickey's Orphans" lost to Silly Symphony "Flowers and Trees."

BEWARE!!!!!

for the kids...

smile, darn ya, smileguaranteed

Here's something unique from the early boom of animated shorts. The character in SMILE, DARN YA, SMILE may look an awful lot like Mickey Mouse with a bushy tail, but "Foxy" was a Warner Bros creation that appeared in only three films. The song featured here did make it to the charts and is probably best known today from the Disney film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. It's surprisingly uplifting and annoying at the same time.

FAMILY GUY Emmy push based on the brilliance of satire...

This Emmy season, Family Guy has jumped on the For Your Consideration bandwagon with a screener that's easily the most brilliant go-for-broke attempt...
Even better is the interior layout which celebrates the show's diversity...

In a season of bloated boxed set packages, this genius single disc sampler may be the most welcome and least understated FYC mailer being sent to voters.
