Actually, though, this is all totally legit. Because Belle's dress is blue and this one is, like, pink, and Gaston's shirt is red, but this one is absolutely blue. So no copyright infringement there...

But...the B&TB is hilarious...I've sent that out to a lot of people!
I wonder if any of these movies will make it to the US shores. Though Disney might be waiting with their lawyers at customs. Anybody remember The Little Cars?
I clicked on the link to King Kong but when iTunes came up I was directed to "pay" for the download which I know isn't the case.
I've done these a couple of times with Digital Copy from Disney and WB and there was always a code given to you so that you didn't have to pay again inside the the BD case...
After revisiting The Specialists for the first time in many years .. I sought out another 'half-remembered' animated-spy-serial created by Joe Horne: Stevie and Zoya, which pre-dated Liquid Television .. having originally aired as one-minute 'interstitial' segments during the late-1980s on Mtv:
Even though both of these serials were extremely 'rough around the edges', they remain crazy-cool and crackling with energy. From today's perspective (with the likes of The Venture Brothers or Super Jail! for comparison), they might seem almost 'quaint' .. but there had been nothing quite like them on TV before.
Joe Horne moved on from Liquid Television to storyboard and directing duties for a variety of DiC, Fox Kids, Kids WB and Disney Afternoon shows throughout the 1990s .. and became a director on shows like The Oblongs, The Boondocks and Class of 3000 in the 2000s.
But I've also just discovered that -- since 2004 -- he has been creating new serials featuring Stevie and Zoya, which are hosted on his YouTube Channel..!
Gone is the Russell Johnson narration .. and the '3-frame-per second' cel animation is eschewed in favor of (only slightly) more polished digital techniques .. but the complex backdrops and 'disjointed' action-packed story-telling remains.
