Darth Vader Is More Man Than Machine in 'The Star Wars'
Aug,10,2013
by+Bryan Enk
He's arguably the most iconic villain in the history of everything, but Darth Vader was almost a very different creature ... that is, if George Lucas' early screenplay for something called "The Star Wars" had made its way from page to screen.
Lucas' first pass at what would become the biggest pop culture phenomenon of all time (don't argue) had only a passing resemblance to the "Star Wars" we now all know and have memorized. His May 1974 screenplay known as "The Star Wars" is finally seeing the light of day courtesy of a limited comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics, in which we'll be introduced to such characters as wise old General Luke Skywalker, cocky but naive farmboy Annikin Starkiller and a lizard-like alien named ... Han Solo.

Tales from the Toon Trenches Close Friends Get to Call Him T.C.

Did everyone rush out and see Top Cat: The Movie when it opened in theatres the first weekend of August? Did anyone even know that something called Top Cat: The Movie opened in theatres on the first weekend in August? Me neither; I stumbled over it accidentally.
Top Cat: The Movie is the English language version of a Mexican-Argentine animated film called Don Gato y su Pandilla (Top Cat and His Gang), which was made in 2011. And the way it oozed its way out into a very limited release here really doesn’t seem to do justice to the boss, to the pip, to the championship that I remember so fondly from my childhood.

Kiefer Sutherland/Calorie Mate: When Jack Bauer is on a mission, nothing can stop him. Not even a train full of Calorie Mate-swilling school girls. Jack seems conflicted about the oddly packaged energy supplement drink, but he seems perfectly content with sprinting through a crowded train.
Jean Reno/Toyota: Known for his portrayals of killers, crooks and crazies, French actor Jean Reno takes on the toughest role of a lifetime: a cybernetic alien cat. Playing the beloved titular cyborg feline from Doraemon, Reno captures the spirit of....eh, he's pretty much Jean Reno in a blue suit, but we'll take it.

Second ‘Yoda Chronicles’ Outing Premieres Sept. 4

by+Mercedes Milligan
The popular LEGO Star Wars franchise will return to the small screen as Cartoon Network premieres the second installment of their three-part series of CG animated specials, The Yoda Chronicles.

Set in the prequel era of the smash hit sci-fi film series, Yoda Chronicles follows the small but powerful Jedi Master as he leads a fresh class of Padawans in a desperate fight to stop Darth Sidious and his minions from creating a new super-weapon that could crush the Republic and win the galaxy for the forces of evil. “Menace of the Sith” finds Darth Sidious introducing the new Sith clone JEK 14, an extremely powerful weapon of the dark side. However, JEK 14 has a mind of his own, instigating a battle of wills between Sith and Jedi in an attempt to win him over.

'Thor: The Dark World' HD Trailer
Aug,07,2013
by:+Staff
Disney has released a second trailer for Thor: The Dark World, the second film in Marvel Studios’ post-Avengers Phase 2, which is set to open nationwide on November 8th. Alan Taylor is directing the second stand-alone Thor film, which features Chris Hemsworth as the hammer-toting Norse Deity, Natalie Portman as his human love interest, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, and Tom Hiddleston as the ever-conniving Loki.
Although the tone of this new trailer is dark indeed with Hopkins as Odin intoning, "Some believe that before the darkness there was nothing. They’re wrong, there was darkness and it survived," Portman manages to add a dose of lively humor to the proceedings by slapping Loki and then adding an Avengers-themed quip, "That was for New York," and the levity continues in the trailer’s final sequence as Thor dispatches a massive stone swordsman.

Fox Orders More ‘Axe Cop,’ ‘High School USA!’
Aug,06,2013
by:+Ramin Zahed
It looks like Fox is hungry for more of its new adult animated toons, Axe Cop and High School USA. The network has increased its orders for each show from the original six to 12 quarter-hour episodes. The shows scored over 1.5 million viewers during the new Animation Domination High Def block on Saturday, July 27.
“I thought to roll out 12 gives us a little more of an anchor,” Nick Weidenfeld, the network’s head of Animation Domination HD, told The Futon Critic. “We’re just starting. It’s also way better for production because we can get invested in those shows.”

Hayao Miyazaki’s 1986 feature Castle in the Sky is still able to cause a fan frenzy in Japan.

Balus is recognized as a magic word among Miyazaki fans, as it triggers a spell of destruction when said by the characters in the climax of Castle in the Sky. The pic, which centers on the adventures of a young boy and a mysterious girl who comes from a floating castle in a lost civilization, is the first film produced and distributed by Studio Ghibli in Japan.

Our 3 Favorite Edo Period Anime
Aug,05,2013
by:+Staff
Samurai Champloo: The follow-up to Shinichiro Watanabe's sci-fi masterpiece Cowboy Bebop had some pretty high expectations to live up to, especially since the show was so stylistically different from its predecessor. Luckily for the anime watching world, Samurai Champloo is one of the most fun, badass and truly hip-hop period pieces we've ever seen. Set in the Edo period, the story follows two samurai and a young girl (with a pocket-dwelling squirrel) as they battle across the land in search of a mysterious warrior who smells of sunflowers. Combine truly iconic characters, amazing fight scenes and anime's best soundtrack and you wind up with Edo era excellence.

Variety reports that director Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown) is in discussions to return to lead Warner Bros. feature adaptation of the project.
