I just discovered that HBO On Demand on Sling TV has a couple DC Animated movies, so I'll still be watching cartoons, as I'm back on a cartoon kick tonight.

Re: 6th Annual August Animation Challenge
(y) I still have a couple that I want to watch. I will probably wait until later in the month as I have some movies rented for the Criterion Challenge, but I'm glad you're still watching, shadokitty!

As part of my new comic book kick, I just watched the first episode of the Fox X-Men series on Hulu.

Re: 6th Annual August Animation Challenge
I watched and loved the first two seasons. I'm waiting for the third and fourth to be available on AmazonPrime. When I heard they were doing a sequel series to one of my favorite shows, I was a bit worried about the outcome. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those perfect shows that really work for me, and I didn't think the creators could produce an adequate followup. However, it blew me away; the show's a delight and explores a time period that fascinates me.

Huzzah! Thank you for the information. I know what I'll be doing this weekend! I was hoping we would get a complete boxset; that's one of the reasons I've been putting off buying the seasons.

I'm taking a few days break from the Criterion Challenge, so I think I'm going to start working through a few of my anime series.

Re: 6th Annual August Animation Challenge
Last night, PBS ran Part 1 of The American Experience: Walt Disney. Tonight is Part 2. It's, in total, a four-hour documentary on Disney. It would have qualified for the Animation Challenge. Too bad it's late by two weeks.
I watched Part 1. Could it have been better? Yes. But there's a lot of good early footage and photos of Disney in his start-up days. There are even three animators left who worked on SNOW WHITE who are interviewed in the show. They must be nearly 100. Some of the other talking heads are just academics or writers who've only read about Disney. I could have used less of those.

Re: 6th Annual August Animation Challenge
Interestingly, on Tuesday, before Part 2 ran, I caught SAVING MR. BANKS on Encore. First time I'd seen it. Interesting movie and worth seeing for people interested in Disney. I have some criticisms of it, but how often do we get to see Disney dramatized on screen so vividly (and by Tom Hanks, no less)? It's basically part of the Disney mythmaking apparatus and I'm curious to learn how far from reality it is. (It tells the story of P.L. Travers and her reluctance to sell the rights to "Mary Poppins" to Disney, who finally wins her over--but just barely.)

Re: 6th Annual August Animation Challenge
I love Aardman's stop motion projects and can hardly wait for this one to arrive on disc (I VERY MUCH dislike the theater "experience"). I'm still regretting not purchasing Shaun the Sheep S1 TV series before it went OOP and prices skyrocketed! I'd avoided it because it was produced in WS but made it to disc as FS versions. Bummer. Still, I now wished I'd have picked it up anyway. Oh well... if the movie is a money maker maybe they'll do a proper re-release.
