    Pixar Dumps Disney

    Under the terms of their contract with Pixar, Disney will still control the films and distribute them (with appropriate profits to Pixar). Disney also has the right to make sequels to all of the films if Pixar declines to. That's an interesting idea but I don't think it will happen for a...

    Street Shows

    Virtually all small & large cities require you to have a permit, but enforcement of the by-laws seems to vary a lot.

    Eyes

    The product you're looking for is called 1/2 dome eyes. They're much more durable and easier to work with than ping pong balls in my experience. The eyes come in a couple of sizes and are sold by a company called Mercury Plastics. Mercury only sells in bulk (I think their minimum order is 1,000...

    One Way Street revised their puppet pattern

    They end up smooth because you are gluing the sides of each half to the other. The foam at the edges of each half naturally press together and come out smooth. This only works with contact cement though. It won't turn out as nice with hot glue.

    One Way Street revised their puppet pattern

    This is what happens when you type fast. The email address is ineeded puppets4gs@aol.com. I did actually mean to quote $15 but the "1" got left out. Oops :o At least I typed the phone number correctly! And I didn't know Marlene had a catalog. FYI, the kit was about $35 Cdn (aprox. $25 US)...

    Thunderbirds Are Go!

    Found some stills from this movie. Looks...well...guess we should wait `til it comes out to pass judgement :confused: I think it's a retro "Brady Bunch" type movie. It's either going to work really well or not at all. Check it out ~ http://www.darkhorizons.com/2004/thunderbirds.php

    Star Trek

    Cinescape broke a story this week that Paramount is fed up with Trek's poor performance in recent years and they're looking to make heads roll - specifically Rick Berman's. It's just a rumour, but I can't believe Paramount's management will sit back and let the whole franchise go down the tubes...

    A little Mirrormask news

    I know, Neil does tons of research on his books. I just don't tend to read much fiction. If I did I'd probably be reading a lot of Neil's stuff.

    Pixar Dumps Disney

    I'm a big Dave Foley fan (he's from Toronto too!) and I loved A Bug's Life. All I am saying is that's their weakest film which is still pretty amazing.

    One Way Street revised their puppet pattern

    I think you're referring to part two of my article "The Tumbles P. Bear Project" which can be found online at http://www.bear-town.com/backstage_pages/tumbles_intro.htm If you're looking to just get started, Puppets For Goodness Sake sells a much better (in my opinion anyway) and cheaper...

    Pixar Dumps Disney

    I think what Pixar has going for it is that they are now a brand, one with a stronger reputation at the moment than Disney's. They've never produced a bad film, which is astonishing. The weakest one so far was A Bug's Life and even that was a solid hit. Wherever Pixar goes they will have...

    A little Mirrormask news

    I'm not sure. I don't think there is a definate plan, but probably. They wanted to do it because of the success of Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal on DVD. I'm a big fan of Neil's too - I actually haven't read much of his work other than his first children's book but I read his blog religiously.
