So, here it is... xD What are some battles you've always wanted to see in either games, or want to see in future games? My wanted list goes as follows... Sora, Donald, Goofy vs Xemnas (final battle part 4,KH2) Sora, Donald, Goofy vs Sephiroth (KH1) Sora & Beast vs Xaldin (KH2) Future games: Sora, Donald Goofy (final battle. Fight with allies throughout whole finale, not getting separated in certain phases.)
This topic came to mind randomly for some odd reason. I love "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs". I hated the "Kill Bill" movies. I haven't seen any others in recent memory to make a valid opinion.
Name something good about Baby Looney Tunes! Its another good reason to hate CN. http://newfunnies.goldenagecartoons.com/xmasdrawin.jpg :D
Probaly my favorite would be Ratatioulle. For the heck of posting it, a friend of mine posted a review on his blog. Given that his thoughts are the excact same as mine, I'll post it. I'm still not entirely warmed up to CG animation. Even with the best Pixar film, The Incredibles, I couldn't warm up to the computer animation. Something about it just doesn't seem right to me, like the average animation of the 1940s and 1950s does. Ratatouille, however, has made me change my mind on what can be done with computer animation, and I can say (with no regrets) that this is some of the best animation done since the 1950s (not saying that it's better, but it's really on par). Even the design of Skinner looks like something out of a Bob McKimson cartoon (that's probably not flattering to some people). It makes someone like me, who is just entering the field, feel great to see something with competence and artistic merit being done, as it gives me some lingering hope that I'll be able to work on something like that some day (probably not). Some of the writing was a little contrived, but hell, what romance in a cartoon isn't? Everything else about the picture was great and I have a new favorite.
Being the only teenager alive to hate anime, and love classic cartoons.... :(
Which of these three do you prefer? As for actual character, Donald is my all-time favorite. As for the cartoons themselves, Goofy is my favorite.
And they thought people would'nt notice. :D http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...l=3&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0 See the difference in voice here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-arHfwOm4pY
Title says everything. :P
Which do you prefer? Personally, I think Jerry needs to get his arse kicked. :D
Figured this might prove a versatile topic. Name some of your guilty pleasures, what games you think are overrated or underrated, etc. .The Sly Cooper games are extremely underrated. It was the only series to actually get better as the series progressed, unlike Ratchet & Clank or Jak & Daxter. .Jak 2 is an extremely overrated game. I played it, hoping it would as good as the reviews stated. Those reviews were dead wrong. The game's story is pretty lame and tries way too hard to be dark and mature. The game itself is'nt much fun either. Jak 3 is a blast, though. .Rayman may be the greatest of all forgotten video game characters. His design is incredibly unique, and is one of the few characters out there without the 'gun-lover with attitude' personality that's all too common these days. Its too bad he's been eclipsed by those rabbids... :( . New.Sonic.Games.Suck. What are some of your guilty (or minority) opinions? :)
Overrated: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Its an important and well-made movie, but it does'nt hold up 70 years later. Underrated: Bambi: I think the hyper-cutneness of the characters turns alot of people off from this very adult film. The amount of work Kahl, Thomas, and Davis put into this thing is unfathomable. Make your choices. :)

I will ask the following question, then you answer without words, but either use a picture or a video. Then, once you answer, you ask your own question. Who's your favorite video game character?
The greatest duo ever conceived in history. Here's every bit of info I could possibly find and a story. ^^ Never mind Batman & Robin, Ren & Stimpy, Tom & Jerry … The best-matched pair of characters in all cartoondom is Fauntleroy Fox and Crawford Crow. Not only did these two hold down a regular series from DC Comics for over 20 years (appearing in more than one title during the majority of those years) — not only did they manage that feat without a single regular supporting character — in most stories, they managed it without even a walk-on by a third character. Hundreds and hundreds of stories were about absolutely nothing except the interaction between The Fox and The Crow — and through all those years, the stories stayed fresh and funny. Artist Jim Davis (no relation to the Jim Davis who writes and draws Garfield) is most closely associated with those hundreds and hundreds of stories. Davis started out as a moonlighting animator (like many funny animal artists of the time), with credits at Warner Bros., Disney and elsewhere, but wound up making a career in comic books. The characters, too, started out in animation. They first appeared in The Fox & the Grapes, a cartoon released Dec. 5, 1941, by Columbia Pictures' Screen Gems Studio. It was the first Columbia cartoon directed by Frank Tashlin (Little Pancho Vanilla), then in the process of revamping the outfit from the ground up. The cartoon consisted of a dimwitted Fox (no relation) trying one strategem after another to reach a bunch of grapes, thwarted time after time by an obnoxious Crow (no relation). Its narrative style — quickly setting up the characters and motivations, then proceeding with a long series of very short "blackout" gags — anticipated Chuck Jones's Road Runner and Coyote by almost eight years, and has been freely acknowledged by Jones as an inspiration for his series. The cartoon was well received, and another with the same characters was produced, for release six months after the first. In fact, they became the studio's biggest stars ever, easily eclipsing Scrappy. But by then, Tashlin had departed for greener pastures — he was working at Warner Bros., and making a name for himself with such characters as Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. This one was directed by Bob Wickersham, who used the characters in a completely different way. His Fox just wanted to be left alone, but The Crow wouldn't let him; and the gags were done in a more traditional style than the earlier blackouts. Innocent Fox paired with agressive Crow became the formula for the series, most of which was directed by Wickersham. In 1948, producer Steven Bosustow, head of UPA, approached Columbia with a proposal that they out-source their cartoons — that is, buy cartoons from his studio instead of producing them in-house. Columbia, which was having trouble maintaining a stable work force in the animation department, ordered a couple of Fox & Crow cartoons from the fledgling studio. These cartoons (Robin Hoodlum (1948) and The Magic Fluke (1949), both directed by John Hubley) were made in what was then an avant-garde graphic style, and Columbia executives were a bit leery — until both cartoons were nominated for Oscars, something no Fox & Crow cartoon had ever achieved before. The Screen Gems Studio was soon shut down; thenceforth, Columbia Pictures' cartoons were produced by UPA. But UPA was apparently not interested in hand-me-downs from a defunct studio, and concentrated on their own characters (the first of which, Mr. Magoo, is the one they're best remembered for today). Their third use of the characters, Punchy de Leon (1950, also directed by Hubley) was the last Fox & Crow cartoon ever made. By then, the characters were well established in comic books. DC had licensed the Columbia cartoon characters in 1945, and launched a new title, Real Screen Comics, for them to star in. The other series in Real Screen were Tito & His Burrito (containing stereotyped characters which, while not ill-intended, would not be used today) and Flippity & Flop (a cat-and-bird series strongly reminiscent of Tweety & Sylvester). The latter two series appeared in only one story each per issue, while The Fox & the Crow filled most of the book. The comic book version was only slightly different from Wickersham's cartoons. Fauntleroy Fox and Crawford Crow had no neighbors except each other, Crow's disreputable, multi-story hollow tree standing only a few paces from Fox's nicely-maintained, comfortable house. Most stories started with Crow, a charming low-life, trying to trick the wealthy, establishment-type, but insufferably smug Fox out of something — but not all, as many were driven by Fox's desire to harm Crow in some way, or just to get away from Crow. Stories could end with either character triumphant, or both, or neither. Both used disguises frequently — painfully transparent ones to the reader, but seen through by the other character only when the plot required it. Extraneous characters occasionally appeared, but were mostly used as props — a delivery man, policeman, or other functionary might show up for a few panels, only to be shuffled off-stage as quickly as possible. The title characters were so right for each other, their fit could be seen even in their physical appearance — when (as often happened) they confronted each other eyeball-to-eyeball, Crow's convex beak dovetailed perfectly with Fox's concave snout. In 1948, DC converted Comic Cavalcade, where The Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman had been sharing the covers, from superheroes to funny animals. The Fox & the Crow were among the new stars, sharing covers with Nutsy Squirrel (star of Funny Folks) and The Dodo & the Frog (from Funny Stuff). The Fox & the Crow got their own comic in 1951, over a year after their last cartoon appeared. From then until 1954, when Comic Cavalcade folded, they were cover-featured in three DC titles. Real Screen Comics changed its title to TV Screen Cartoons in 1959, and folded in '61, leaving The Fox & the Crow starring only in their own comic. The 1960s were hard years for funny animals in comic books, especially those no longer supported by regular appearances in other media. In 1965, the comic's long-running back-up series, "The Hounds & the Hare", was dropped, and DC started experimenting with new concepts. "Stanley & His Monster", by Arnold Drake and Winslow Mortimer, which started in the 95th issue (Dec-Jan, 1965-66), was a little different from the others, in that it debuted in the lead position. All of a sudden, The Fox & the Crow had become back-ups in their own comic. The former stars soon started getting crowded off the cover, as well. As of #109 (May, 1968), the comic's title was officially changed to Stanley & His Monster, and The Fox & the Crow were gone for good. Today, the two dozen or so Fox & Crow cartoons are seldom seen, even in out-of-the-way TV slots. Because of issues concerning ownership of the characters, the comic book stories are seldom if ever reprinted. But for collectors and connoisseurs of old comic books, those hundreds and hundreds of stories still provide ample laughs. http://classiccartoons.blogspot.com/search?q=Jim+Davis+

I was'nt excactly sure on the title, but anyways... "Mr Woodpecker!" Cried Wally Walrus in his trademark swedish tongue. "Time for your breakfast!". I reluctantly rised from my bedsheet, and glanced at the clock. 1 pm. One of many, many times I slept in ever since I got out. Wally cried out again. "Woody! Waffles are getting cold!". I squirmed out of my bed, and made my way towards the dining room. I owe alot to Wally Walrus, giving me a home and treating me like one of the family. After I got out of my irratatingly long sentence, I had'nt a place to stay. Despite all those years of being a great pest to the guy, he was able to put the past behind him and let me in to his home and give me shelter. The thought of staying with Chilly Willy was out of the question, given his intolerable habitat and living conditions. I grabbed my fork and took a small piece of the waffle. It was delicious, as was most of Wally's cooking. But I still could'nt get my spirits up a bit, despite that I was given a decent meal for the first time in decades. I could'nt get her off my mind. A illusion of her beautiful appearance formed inside my mind, but I tried to wash it away. I did'nt want to think of her, I needed to move on with my life and forget her. But my imagination refused to back down, morrhing the image of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful girl I had once knew. Then a name appeared.... Namine. I could'nt resist it any longer. I missed her so much... She had done so much for me. No... NO!! I had to stop thinking about that. Then I finally broke down. I pathetically threw my fork across the room and start sobbing uncontrollably. The thought that I just could'nt go on entered my mind. What was the point of even trying? What was the point of-- Before I could continue on with my potentially gruesome thoughts, I was handed a large box of tissues. I glanced up, and there Wally was, waiting for my sobbing to cease. I calmed down and wiped my tears, as Wally sat down next to me. He knew what was wrong, he was'nt that naive. He sighed heavily and to me he said "I think it would be a good time to start telling me what happend". I begged to not do so, knowing that would only bring back traumatic,unwanted memories. But he strongly insisted, stating it might help my mental state confessing what happend. I was given no choice but to begin. "Its going to take awhile" I said, hoping that just might make Wally back down. "I've got all the time in the world", he said reassuredly. "If we you can't finish today, we will just continue tomorrow".And so, my story began. Chapter 2 soon, hopefully. I did'nt have much time to make the chapter longer then it was. :(
Slam Wallaby and Kasey Kockroach are basicially a duo I've been drawing for about six years. The drawing is poor, but I just wanted to show everyone what they looked like. More pics of them coming soon! Also some explanation of their personalities, I suppose. :) http://kaseykockroach.deviantart.com/art/Slam-and-Kasey-66286638
