Until Sept. at any rate. ;-D Yeah, September 5 is the big day. Well, any questions on TV animation in general? I saw some GARGOYLES Oh, how did it look? Looks very high quality but not distinctive. Has the success of the RoJ going to move DTVA up in terms of respect +inside Disney? What is it about? When the Batman trailer was first shown.. everyone was amazed at the look. Even though it owed a lot to Fleisher. Doesn't everything? :-) Yeah, the Superman shorts. Gargoyles just looks good but if you saw a still... you might think it was from any one of a half dozen shows. Nope. No respect. I shouldn't say that... What about the writing? Are the stories well written? Did you see enough to say whether it was exciting story-wise? They certainly see us as valuable again. They should. I only saw a Gargoyles trailer, set to music ...from the POWER OF ONE. So it looked great but told nothing about the show. Whatever happened to Bob Taylor? Is he going to be put in charge of +any of the upcoming TVA shows? Some one told me that RoJ is expected to make something like a Which isn't necessarily a *bad* thing! hundred million dollars in profit when all is said and done.. that includes overseas sales. > Is there any particular reason you're limiting your lines to less than 80 +characters? Oh. I read the description of it in "Comics Scene". The premise +sounded good, but I wondered about the names of the Gargoyles: Brooklyn, +Manhatten "ansgt-ridden" Bronx, etc. Not a bad day's earnings! > That's good. You can buy us dinner next ConFurence. Only because I type slowly, so I hit the return to keep the conversation going. Is that distracting? no > Well, in irc, it really doesn't matter. It kind of breaks your thoughts to +do it that way. The lines also get a little lost from all the talking. It's like pausing in the middle of a sentence while you're talking to +someone, I guess...

I'd say the value of DA material will peak in about 15-20 years... when the kids of today get nostalgic and have money to spend. Net splits always bring up images of Armaggedon to me. :-) But I don't think I'll part with my gadget cel's even then :-) Wow ... millions of rabid Gadget fans running the country... A great fiery crack erupting down the middle of the street. * lara giggles. yum > Two people have asked me about that Gadget cel. Well, Gadget is a special case :) Huge crowds demanding the aging Michael Eisner to make Gadget the new +mouse symbol of Disney. :-) *** empire (~empire@er4.rutgers.edu) has joined channel #jafar *** Sean (seanb@fsd.cpsc.ucalgary.ca) has joined channel #jafar > For great imagery, you should try a Muck.

No kidding, a Muck is a lot of fun -- and *extremely* addictive. ;-) Her ride came more from the fact that she's an inventor. She beat out Gyro Gearloose. Asphodel: Are you logging this chat? Huh? I didn't notice anything on my hookup. > And Ludwig von Drake? Ah. Thought it might be one of those new-fangeled spacial anomalies. > Yup, I'm logging.

More roast duck, eh? Why tentical and goo sound so much like Sushi anyways :-) So we're currently working on three different storylines for the next direct-to -video. > And one of them is reeeeeally good. Which is? Do we get to hear what they are?? Aladdin's father/Genie's girlfriend (human)/Aladdin as a leader of +rebels. *lara is waiting with baited breath. > But the sushi isn't here yet! Don't get too excited. The storylines will change many times. Damn! You beat me to that one, Asphodel! Jeffrey Katzenberg won't hear them til a week from Monday. > Well, I've figured out that's what happens after we followed Hot Spells from +beginning to end. And the final story will probably be a version we haven't even +considered. Just make sure Foxglove is in this one! :-) Yeah, it's amazing. BTW: So what was the original version of RoJ +like? What were in the 'missing' 20 minutes? BTW, it's been decided that RoJ will never go on broadcast TV > Never say never? Maybe the Disney Channel eventually. So we'll look for it in about 18 months, just about how long HISMV took +to get on TV. :-) Well, all it takes is a management change. Too bad you guys cut out that line about the Genie's shackles being a +fashion statment. Would have at least helped preserve continuity, if nothing +else.... Will RoJ go to LD? Not that continuity is RoJ's strongpoint :) Speaking of the Disney channel, isn't there supposed to be a preview +this weekend? And that line got a big laugh at the Dog and Pony show. No kidding. > There's been a free preview all week. Isn't RoJ out on LD already? If there's a preview, they probably won't show Aladdin. Austin Cablevision is not participating in the preview, though. > There was no Aladdin this morning. I'm watching the Apple Dumpling Gang on it now. Hmmm, I guess my cable company forgot about it or something. RoJ is on LD, but I hear it sucks...via r.a.d. (quality wise) > Knowing Jonathan, our tv is probably tuned to Fox. Oh, yeah. The film with the girl with the bathroom problem. Are you *sure* there's a preview on this weekend? Century Cable here +isn't having it either... Other news...Schnookums and Meat has tested through the roof. Hey, that's great! *** King (daemon@tiger.itc.univie.ac.at) has joined channel #jafar > I'm positive there's a free preview this weekend, Dana. There's a good chance that the '96 show will be Gargoyles or > Hi there, King. Yeah, TV guide says there is. Schnookums and Meat...or one of their spinoffs. Hmm... Juan says his cable company isn't participating. And as far +as I can tell, neither is mine. *King* so, have I missed much? Pistol Possum and that singing cowboy parody. -> *king* Bout half hour. Are you someone I know? I read about them in "Comics Scene" Can't see Schnookums and Meat having a spin off. Schnookums and Meat has Pith Possum -- a superhero parody. So will they start showing '97 shows on Mon and Fri in '96? And Tex Tinstar. That's what it's called. *King* er, not really. Just started reading rec.arts.animation recently and +heard about this little forum today. Only if they're popular. No free preview here. Of course, I need a satellite dish to get the +Disney Channel, which is probably the reason! CS commented that Pith Possum has a premise similar to Darkwing Duck. Call your cable company, razor. They'll tell you if they're +participating or not. Well, Pith goes a lot farther because it's not as story oriented as +Darkwing Duck. *king* Feel free to ask Tad any questions you have. Funny though. I'm betting that it'll be like the Bat-Bat shorts in Ralph Bakshi's +"Mighty Mouse". Is Pith's sidekick a raccoon? Raccoon? I think so. Aladdin has kept me pretty busy. BTW, Ron Clemments said he was impressed with a lot of RoJ. You've finished all of this season's eps, haven't you? Oh, Congrats about Ron. He was especially amazed because he knows the difference in budgets. Tad: this may seem redundant but what kind of stuff have you worked on +before Aladdin? There are four more Aladdins being done. Oh, yeah. The ones replacing RoJ. I may take my name off them because I'm not involved... Oh? Who's producing them? All my time is going to crashing and burning new concepts for the next +direct-to-video. Not Bob Taylor, I hope? > Alan Zaslove? * razor snickers. Duane Capizzi? Alan Zaslove and Rob LaDuca who have been working on the series. There's no story editor. Here's a question -- are Mark Zaslove and Alan Zaslove related? > Yes, they are. The exec in charge of current series is giving notes to the writers. *** mrtigger (~mrtigger@netcom.netcom.com) has joined channel #jafar Mark is Alan's son. mind if I ask a question? > Go ahead. That's what I'm here for. which is better, Netcom or Delphi * Asphodel laughs. me laughing, "netcom" I think Netcom's better if you do a lot of mucking. I'm on Netcom. Bob Schooley uses Delphi. I seem to be happier than +him. > Tell him to dump Delphi. Can he? But then, Bob's a glum sort. > I haven't had the opportunity to talk to him much. * Tad pops another Diet Coke. What does Bob Schooley do? Not that many netcom dialups out here in the East. Bob is half of the story team of Schooley and McCorkle. Ijust seem to be at an impass.... I like netcom because I've ha They're writing the next DTV. heard better things about it, and it's definately cher Oh, I forgot about that. A new DTV? Will they use some DA stuff in it this time? > Maybe it's time to make the channel +i? but netcom doesn't have a local access number to me and Delphi has +alot of neat sutff in their menus isn't And they're coming over in a couple of hours to celebrate my 20th. *** Mode change "+i" on channel #jafar by Asphodel DTV=Direct to Video *** Asphodel has changed the topic on channel #jafar to /msg Asphodel for an +invite so chi *lara* Who's mrtigger? *** mrtigger has been kicked off channel #jafar by Asphodel Tad, do you remember the first thing you did for Disney 20 years ago? * empire cheers * empire shrugs *lara* hell if I know. I inbetweened on the Rescuers. I even animated one scene. > Which scene? Bernard is sneaking across a desk in a raincoat and looks back over his +shoulder at a clock. In Medusa's shop. The scene was never properly cleaned up. Grrrr. That scene was before Medusa stormed in and started packing, right? * razor thumbs through his Disney's Animated Characters encyclopedia to check +on the release date of The Rescuers (to satisfy his own curiosity). Yes. 1977, I believe. I started at Disney in June of '74 In which direction were you expecting your career to go back then? I was born in '74, coincidence? :) Thinks that a very good sign to start work in Disney on a mouse! > That's the year I graduated from high school. I thought I'd be an animator. But I was enjoying designing scenes more +than I enjoyed animating them. I moved to story. > On Fox and the Hound, right? Yes. Uncredited. Grrrrr. Ah, FatH, my favorite Disney movie They gave a credit to that $^%$$&**&%$*!! worm, but not me. The Encyclopedia? You can find it just about anywhere -- I've seen it +go from $35 to $40 ($40 is its normal retail). It is a shame about the abreviated credits on FatH, and other Disney +films. maybe you should leave your credits in on the Aladdin episodes to +make up for FatH :) Full credits started with the new management on Black Cauldron. Maybe Disney should've released the FatH tape with the full credits +placed at the end of the tape. Maybe you should write in a few FatH references in Aladdin. There's probably no record of the full credits. I like it these days where they break up each major character and give +individual credits. That's a crying shame. I actually saw Black Cauldron when it premeired at Radio City Music +Hall I believe, like TLK is on the 15th. > There was a FatH limited edition at Fine Toon for like a thousand bucks. I think that it wasn't until TLM that they started assigning characters +to animators again. I saw that in a catalog. With Tod on the tree stump. I thing Black Cauldron is the only Disney movie I haven't seen. > No, this one was Tod and Copper playing. Oh, my mistake. Before that, you'd mostly do a given character...but you'd also animate +anyone else who was in the scene. Yeah BC wasn't too popular. > Did BC come out in 85? Speaking of FatH, when Tad mentioned the disco production number, I +really thought he was pulling a prank, as it sounded like too ridiculous an +idea to be real. It's pretty amazing that Mark Henn's Jasmine (in Florida) worked so well +with Glen Keanes's Aladdin (in California). A lot of faxes, phone calls and +fed-ex charges. > But they did the same thing with Beast and Belle, right? I guess the disco number would have been fine as far as when the movie +was made, but it would sure have destroyed the movie's flavor. Yes. And yes. I think it makes sence ineconomic terms, if you only do one character +you learn to draw it very well and very fast, move drawings per dat etc.. Boy, razor sure has that right. do you know what Disney's plaans are for computer animation? The disco scene *was* real. Speaking of cels, my local gallery had a Snow White production cel for +only $22000 (CDN)! > I'm sorry, I'm going too fast (I type like 75wpm). *** Signoff: Curt (hermes.oc.com ucsd.edu) * lara shudders to think. Let me guess, the disco scene was to use rotoscoped footage from Snow +White. Did they ever use computer animation in Rescue Rangers? *Sean* Yeah, but you use a QWERTY keyboard. :-) Real quick, could everyone type in the state they're sending from? As +in section of the country. Texas. New Jersey Texas Delaware. Earthquake Central (Westwood). NJ Ontario (Canada) Alberta, Canada. > Most expensive one I've seen at Fine Toon is a huge Aladdin limited edition +with Al & Jas on the carpet. For $2500. The first computer scene was the fight on the clock in The Great Mouse +Detective. > I'm in Texas too. My gallery (Art of Animation) has had production cels from Snow White, +Cinderella, Dumbo, Bambi, and a few other movies. Average price around +$15000. I remember all the publicity Disney gave those GMD scenes. Do they use computers to organize cels and timing charts (not drawing, +before the clock)? * Asphodel rolls her eyes at the mention of Disney publicity. Okay, let's take a vote. Who'd like to see some of the DA character +voices tour the Disney Stores like they had for the Animaniacs voices at the +WB stores? BTW, I'm not going to be able to stay on as long as promised :( > Pity. Definitely me. Because of the aforementioned getogether. * razor sighs. Me. Sounds like a great idea razor! About 20 minutes more. I'd like that. Do you ever have a hand in the casting of voices? How many of you have seen any of the episodes on the Disney Channel. With Aladdin upcoming, maybe we can see Dan Castellaneta, Gilbert +Gottfried, Liz Calloway, etc. tour. I read that the Broadway production of BatB is run entirely by +computers (BTW I going to see that tomorrow, front row) I've seen a couple, thanks to Curt. I seen them on the Disney Channel. Gilbert and Liz could always do impromtu renditions of Forget about +Love. :-) All those folks have very busy TV or Broadway careers. * King sighs. Doesn't get Disney Channel. Not Dan. > I've seen all of them. Do you perhaps have an Aladdin DC broadcaset +schedule? > Cause I only have 9 on tape. Dan has a Disney pilot and the Simpsons...and a fair amount of film +work. *** Curt (guest@sgigate.SGI.COM) has joined channel #jafar Agreed. No, I don't have a schedule. Aren't the Simpsons on break now though? Or is a voice artists work year round? I doubt that they could organize a tour right now. They would need +months of preparation. Voice artists work year round. Remember, the big money is in +commercials unless you have a lead part on a 65 episode series. I remember a brief Headline News about the voice actor industry. > They like mostly work contract, I would think. *** Signoff: Sean (Ping timeout) Tad how does the econmics of the Disney Channel work for Aladdin, it +sounds like the left hand paying the right hand..not that I mind seeing shows + 6 months early but I got to wonder. BTW, Jim Cummings is doing a lot of singing dub work...dubbing lyrics in +for another actor. Speaking of which, I think I may have already mentioned this to the +list... but I heard Max's voice (Dana Hill) in the voiceover for Knott's +Berry Farm. *** Mode change "-i" on channel #jafar by Asphodel The Disney Channel screenings help the DC because it promises things +that you can't get elsewhere. And it can create a bit of word of mouth +publicity. Do Voice Actors (VA) ever try to get live rolls on shows, or do they +just stick to animation, and commercials? > I've seen voice actors do bit parts. Tress MacNeille and Dan Castellenata. > Others. BTW: Whatever happened to Noelle North ( Tammi ) and Deborah Walley +( Foxglove )? I know Dan Castellenata used to be on the Tracy Ulman show (I believe +that's where he started) Lanny told me that Michael Bell appeared in Star Trek: The Next +Generation (pilot). No, voice actors are actors. They'll take live action work too. +However, live action takes a lot of time...which means they're not out there +making a bunch of commercials..and $$$. razor: Yes, he does. Sounds a bit like Quackerjack too. Mike Bell is Zorn the colony leader in the ST:TNG premiere episode. Michael Bell was on DS9. > Micheal Bell was in a DS9 episode too. I'd like to see what Barry Gordon (Doctor Fossil) looks like, myself. Really? Which DS9 episode? > This three parter. The DS9 episode where they rescue Richard Beymar. I think Barry Gordon was in a Niquil commercial but I don't know if +that was him or someone who sounds like him. Duck Daze may have a dtv too. But Bell appears only briefly, as one of the prisoners. His voice is +unmistakable, though. But I don't see how the timing would work. my last question before I go: what's the next major theatrical release +for Disney after The Lion King? Neat. So how is DD shaping up? Isn't it the Goofy Movie? Speaking of which, how's that shaping up? Who's making the Goofy Movie? Majorly I would say Pocahontas (which I'm not sure I can spell) Tad another question, when you use an overseas animation studio, how +much information do you send tham about the stories, just scripts or lots of +story boards? After Lion King (although the order may change) Pochahontas, Hunchback +of Notre Dame, Fa Mulah, Hercules, Aida and somewhere in there, the Fantasia +re release. /whois #jafar #jafar Curt H guest@sgigate.SGI.COM (Curt Schimmel) #jafar King H daemon@tiger.itc.univie.ac.at (freenet3.carleton.ca) #jafar empire H ~empire@er4.rutgers.edu (Michael Kraft) #jafar backs H ~backs@netcom5.netcom.com (Steven Back) #jafar Tad H@ ~duckman@netcom4.netcom.com (Tad Stones) #jafar razor H ~razor@netcom7.netcom.com (Razor) #jafar vgr H vgriscep@rac6.wam.umd.edu (VGR) #jafar lara H lara@utpapa.ph.utexas.edu (Juan F Lara) #jafar Asphodel H@ arielle@sugar.NeoSoft.COM (Stephanie da Silva) #jafar kishi H@ ~fbrazile@pub4dtxast.cr.usgs.gov (Franc Brazile) Hmm.

Overseas studios get scripts, storyboards, color models, layout keys, +background keys, timing sheets, sound tracks, character model sheets, prop +designs and effects packages. Yeah, but I'd like to see more films with furries as the stars. Fantasia will have new footage and lose old stuff. Why don't they just make a who le new film? > Will they have topless centaurettes? :-) So you do have people doing storyboard. I got some wrong information +from one of the Disnyland artists. Probably too dificult or costly. Hercules is being done by John Musker and Ron Clemments who did The +Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. Not a bad track +record. Agreed! :-) No kidding... Centaurettes yes. Topless? Doubt it. Too bad. :-) Storyboarding at TV is different than at features. Is that just going to be about the greek mythology Hercules or +something made up? BTW: I think John Musker once posted to r.a.d. Sensibly dressed centaurettes. Welcome to the 20th century. A TV storyboard artist interprets the script, making little changes... Er, 21st century I meant. At features, a storyboard artist is practically a writer...even though +he/she works from a script. > Megazone just sent a letter to the list nattering at you about installing an +irc client under your account, Michael. Political correctness... I imagine Tad's gotta be careful on some of +the Aladdin scripts, yes-no? ;-) You mean LATE 20th century vgr, old Walt had no problem with nude +Centaurettes.

Here's some food for discussion: Well, we're starving. :-) Mmmm... food... * razor snickers. Recently, Disney features have two things: An "I want" by the major +character (usually sung), and a "theme."

Furry's lag would make a discussion next to impossible. Hmm... might be nice 'cept not everyone has a character there. I thought they were going to fix that? Oh well.
