Ghost of a Tale - Indie game project

Sun, 19 May 2013 23:46:22 GMT

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, [...]

Disney Channel Turns 30 + Upcoming Film Updates

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 02:52:37 GMT

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 [...]

Vote on the Animation Source Awards

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:47:46 GMT

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.

Finding Dory

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:11:23 GMT

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 [...]

New Mickey Mouse Shorts - But What Happened?

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:03:25 GMT

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 [...]

Snow Day on AS!

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:24:10 GMT

EDIT: It's been fixed!

Well, there's snow again this year. Same old same old, you know how it works.

But how to turn it off?

Seems Steet forgot to add that option this year. Until he fixes it, here's how to turn off the snow in case you're not interested in seeing it. As of right now, this is really the only way that has been found to turn off the snow, so you're going to have to make due.

You'll have to go to the AS hub, and scroll ALL the way down. [...]

News Regarding Drama

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:05:22 GMT

This is a message from the mods.

Recently, there has been a lot of flaiming of members in the shout boxes, through comments, and on the forums. In particular, the members are Brown wolf, MightyBalto1925, Skulblaka_Shur'tugal, Kelsey the Zombie and JerseyCaptain. As of right now, anyone caught doing this again will be given an instant month-long ban. Consider it a rule for now.

To elaborate: don't talk about them even if you talk about the situation without mentioning [...]

New Animation Announcements

Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:20:29 GMT

It seems the frequency of animated films is becoming more common. Box Office Mojo has updated their release schedule with updated and brand-new release dates for upcoming animated films.

First of all, let's look at rescheduled release dates for films we already knew about. The first one is "Phineas and Ferb", the theatrical film based off the TV show of the same name. What little is known about the film is that it's actually NOT animated--not entirely. Its format is [...]

Character Rules

Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:44:10 GMT

Hello Animation Source!

Mods have noticed all the problems going on with characters and what is accepted.

The first and probably one of the most important rules is that sparkle dogs/horses/lion ect... are not allowed. And if you aren't sure what a sparkle character is, it is any character that has an unnatural color that you would not find on the regular animal. So for almost any animal, that includes the colors blue, green, red, purple, pink ect. To go along with that, [...]
