Watch: Fox Releases The Shortest Trailer For The New ‘Simpsons’ 3D Animated Short ‘The Longest Daycare’

Posted by: Trent on July 5, 2012| Leave a comment

This Summer, with the theatrical release of Ice Age: Continental Drift, Fox is releasing a 3D animated short film starring The Simpsons. Er, actually, the short film, titled The Longest Daycare, really only stars one member of the The Simpson family — Maggie Simpson. And, as I understand it, most if not all of the film features no dialog (which is understandable because baby Maggie has only ever uttered one word in her animated life). Click below to watch a short trailer for The Longest Daycare and get your first taste of this new Simpsons animated short. More »

Great news, Neil Gaiman fans … we’ve got a new film on the way! Gaiman‘s book The Graveyard Book is being adapted into a feature film by Disney … and it will be directed by Henry Selick, the same director responsible for Gaiman‘s book-turned-film Coraline. I suspect that The Graveyard Book will be made in much the same way that Coraline was — with stop-motion animation. BUT, it’s possible the film could turn out completely differently.

Posted by: Trent on April 17, 2012| 15 Comments

The hologram resurrection of the late Tupac Shakur thrilled the audience Sunday night at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival … then it became a huge internet sensation yesterday. Today we are hearing that the hologram Tupac may be going on tour … for real. Plans are reportedly in the works for this hologram Tupac to join Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre on a tour that would visit stadiums around the country … and possibly the world.
