Gargoyles ran two seasons before he was fired and we got the less-than-stellar "Goliath Chronicles" as a third season. He got onboard WITCH, which likewise only last two seasons. He went on to do the appropriately named "Spectacular Spider-Man" animated series for Sony before the Disney/Marvel deal axed that show after two seasons. He bounced back with DC Comics with the "Young Justice" cartoon before that was canned after two seasons as well. <br /><br />I remember making this ridiculous schoolgirl squeal when I learned he was going to be the head writer for the new "Star Wars: Rebels" series, perhaps the combined power of Lucasfilm and Disney can break the cycle!<br /><br />I have not seen Frozen yet. I refuse to go out after Thanksgiving. Even in our tiny town, the mall is packed to the gills. My brother and his girlfriend braved the crowds and for all their purchases, it sounds like there were a couple near homicides over iPads.<br /><br />So yeah, I'm going to wait a little while. Maybe drop some hints to my friends tomorrow to gauge interest.<br /><br />Like I said, I'm a sucker for Disney's animated features. I actually had a mini-marathon this past summer to play nostalgia catch-up. What would you say are some of your favorites?Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-66435049156830297832013-11-30T23:38:11.934-06:002013-11-30T23:38:11.934-06:00So that is very interesting about WITCH.

I will need to look into more of it. I also love Gargoyles, and that is so cool that the creator was the head writer for the WITCH show!<br /><br />So did you see Frozen yet? I haven't had the chance, but I am totally excited to see it. I agree, I enjoy watching Disney animated films. They are just always really good.

I only saw parts of it while flicking channels during school breaks, but even if I haven't seen any full episodes, I doubt I'll ever be able to get that rockin' theme song out of my head. Recently I learned that "Gargoyles" creator Greg Wiseman was the show's head writer and producer during Season 2, so thats bumped it up to my "Nerd To-See List".<br /><br />You'd better believe I'm for real about Frozen. Theres just something about growing up in Michigan that makes a movie about the frozen tundra so identifiable and appealing. I'm also kind of a sucker for Disney animated features in general. Aside from just the sheer level of quality, the animators often throw in some art history in-jokes.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-21133457856220557522013-11-25T17:06:37.921-06:002013-11-25T17:06:37.921-06:00Yeah, I wasn't sure who I was going to have in...Yeah, I wasn't sure who I was going to have in the spot of Bodacious Baddie this month, but all three just felt right.

Upon searching for it, I am just finding myself at a loss. I do not remember this at all and it is very similar to Wynx. I didn't even realize this! How funny is that.<br /><br />And you better be for real on going to see Frozen. I am so excited for this movie. It looks hilarious and I like the premise. (I also love the Frozen castle play set because it looks like the perfect set up for a makeshift Castle Chill for Frosta. lol)Michael Lynn P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03371185397200027726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132358890134520474.post-23335924627602078862013-11-25T16:49:46.549-06:002013-11-25T16:49:46.549-06:00lol Yeah, they don't really look menacing.

I figure, since she is a demonoid, but a demonoid who is trying to do good, she could sort of control a group of other "bad" girls, maybe if they help her fight the bad demonoids they will work off all their sins and badness and will not have to go to hell when they die. Plus then Sateena could get her jollys by torturing them whenever she feels like it, so she doesn't take out her sadism on any innocent individuals.<br />As rare as a group of bad girls in a girl cartoon show is (like you said in the above interview)- it's even rarer to have a group of bad girls fighting on the side of good, and be the main characters of the story! Problem is, I don't have a name for her backup team. I liked Sateena Desade and the Damsels of Damnation or the Damned Damsels, or something to that affect. But googling it makes it seems like those might be taken. <br /> I might have asked you this before, but do you really say "y'all" in real life when you are talking?Nick Moosenoreply@blogger.com
