In the summer of 1996, the World Wrestling Federation held its annual King of the Ring tournament. After weeks of matches, the semis and finals were set for June 23rd, 1996, with Stone Cold Steve Austin facing Jake “The Snake” Roberts for the crown later in the night. Roberts, then known for working from a Christian angle, would cut a promo before the match doing just that. Just before Austin took the ring and pinned Roberts, he was tipped about the promo’s contents.
After the five-minute match, Austin stood next to the same man who tipped him off, Michael Hayes. And it was there that a legend and a catchphrase were born, and an entire industry was born again. With a mouth full of blood, Stone Cold Steve Austin told his defeated opponent: “You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere!

This is probably a hot take, but Walt Disney Animation's many canceled projects often sound a lot more interesting than the films they end up releasing. Sure, there might have been legitimate reasons as to why these films get canned, but a lot of them either looked visually stunning in concept art or had unique plots that would have been cool to see on the big screen.
One of these fabled canceled projects was "Fraidy Cat," a homage to Alfred Hitchcock's noir and suspense films. Little has been released about the project since its supposed cancelation in 2005, and even fewer pieces of art have been released to give us an idea of what it would have looked like. It's a real shame as well because it sounds like it could have been a hit with critics and audiences alike.
However, 17 years after its cancelation, we have a clearer idea...

Adam West Was Cast As A Conspiracy Theorist In Emperor's New Groove, But Was Cut From The Final Film
"The Emperor's New Groove" is a famously weird Disney movie that was almost even weirder. The delightfully offbeat David Spade comedy has endured several reassessments since its 2000 release, going from a notoriously troubled production (as documented by Vulture in that outlet's great oral history) to a middling box office performer to an enduring cult favorite.
In the years since the saga about an emperor-turned-llama on a quest to regain his human form hit theaters, a seemingly endless number of behind-the-scenes anecdotes have come to light about the movie that almost was. At one point, Vulture notes, the film was meant as a more straightforward adventure saga called "Empire of the Sun," which would've been led by Owen Wilson with a full soundtrack from Sting. That version of the flick never happened, and the movie continued to evolve drastically until it became the irreverent, kooky comedy audiences ended up with. One...

As a vocal and dedicated champion of all things animation, I have no shame in admitting to having some borderline "hipster opinions" about Disney movies. For starters, I firmly believe that Stephen J. Anderson's "Meet the Robinsons," the second all-cgi film for the company, is one of the best films to come out of Walt Disney Animation Studios -- ever. The film celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, but it remains an under-appreciated feature in the canon of Disney classics.
Loosely based on William Joyce's book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson," Disney's "Meet the Robinsons" centers on an orphaned boy genius named Lewis, who invents a machine with the ability to extract and project memories. Unfortunately, a mysterious villain known as Bowler Hat Guy steals it. Lewis feels hopeless, that is until a time traveler named Wilbur Robinson arrives to bring him to the future. Lewis is thrust...

Disney's post-Renaissance era was marked by frustration and internal strife: The films were less financially successful, the studio was suffering a creative identity crisis, morale had hit a new low, and questionable management was a constant issue. While DreamWorks and Pixar were on the rise, Walt Disney Animation was floundering. But even as the slump persisted, optimism bubbled under the surface in the form of Stephen Anderson's "Meet The Robinsons."
At the heart of "Meet The Robinsons," there's a very delicate balance between the past and the future. It's a fitting tension for a film that arrived just after the studio's golden era, but before its grand revival. As though blithely self-aware of its positioning, the movie begins with a logo that calls back to Steamboat Willie and ends with a powerful mantra from the man who started it all, Walt Disney.

Stephen Anderson confirms that he's got a new feature project in the works at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The revival in the fortunes of Walt Disney Animation Studios - which continues with the incoming Zootropolis - can be traced back to films such as Bolt and Tangled. But I'd go earlier, and suggest the turning point was the underrated Meet The Robinsons. The 2007 film was directed by Stephen J Anderson, who also co-directed the also-underappreciated Winnie The Pooh.
And now, it turns out that Anderson has a new film up and running at Walt Disney Animation Studios. He's not giving too much away just yet, but chatting to The Traditional Animation Show, he confirmed to host Stephen Anderson that "I'm developing a new feature at Disney".
Details? Not yet. "It's a little early, it's a little too early unfortunately for me to talk about. I'm very excited about it,...

Plenty of genre films have been getting commemorative art produced from Ghostbusters to Fight Club, and even The Shining has its own clothing line now. But Acme Archives thought it was time that The House of Mouse got a little love too. The collectible arthouse has just revealed some new Disney prints that will be on sale starting June 20th, and they'll print as many copies as are ordered. However, much like a Disney fairytale, all of this magical artwork goes away just 10 days later at the stroke of midnight on June 30th. There's some great pieces, included an incredible design for The Little Mermaid by Mark Englert below.

Ubisoft's RPG Child of Light has garnered a lot of attention, and rightfully so, as its wonderful art style and charming gameplay eventually wormed its way into many gamers' hearts. What do talented fans do with all that enthusiasm? They make cool stuff for the rest of us to gawk at, that's what. The art you see above was created by Heavy Metal Hanzo, and you can peruse his portfolio here. I love the art and coloring style that Hanzo uses, and it captures the essence of the title perfectly.

In our society's neverending quest to make weird random things cool, ugly Christmas sweaters have in recent years gained massive amounts of camp appeal. While once exclusively worn by senior citizens out of touch with any and all sense of style, they're nowadays as hip as hashtags, as spectacular as selfies and as tubular as twerking. Generation Random is in full effect, and it doesn't get much more random than rocking grandma's hideous holiday wardrobe.
If you've been invited to one of the many ugly Christmas sweater parties being hosted around the country this holiday season, and you don't quite know what to wear, we've got ya covered.
Designed by Stephen Anderson, this gloriously hideous Shining-inspired design is screenprinted onto super soft jersey knit sweatshirts, iconic imagery and quotes from the film getting an ugly Christmas sweater makeover. The absolute perfect sweatshirt to keep you from freezing to death like Jack Torrance this holiday season,...

Before the advent of Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios was the leader in quality family entertainment. Now that they're both a part of the same company, it's even better. But back then, the Disney Company attempted to differentiate their movies by asking different famous actors to come in and perform their characters in a film. Inspired by Robin Williams' fantastic performance as the Genie in Aladdin, Disney Feature Animation (at the time) decided to get more ambitious with their casting. These are ten actors who were asked to be a part of a film and never got to make it; either due to scheduling conflicts, money issues or even death!

I'm a huge fan of animation, animated films are getting better and better. Not only is the look and animation getting ridiculously awesome, but I find that many of these animated films actually have incredibly good stories. Not all of them are good though, for example, Cars 2 and Rio sucked. It will be interesting to see who ends up taking home the awards this year. Out of the movies on the list that I've seen and liked we have Puss in Boots, Rango and Kung Fu Panda 2. I guess it's no surprises that Kung Fu Panda 2 is leading the nominations with 9. Check out the list and let us know what your favorite animated movies of the year are!

DreamWorks’ Puss in Boots and Paramount’s Rango won nine nods, and Pixar’s Cars 2 earned seven. Steven Spielberg’s motion-capture The Adventures of Tintin won five nods, including Best Feature; the last animated film built from performances by live actors to earn a nod for the top prize at the Annies was 2006′s Monster House.

I don't put much stock in the Annie Awards and neither does Disney after withdrawing from the International Animated Film Society, Asifa-Hollywood back in 2010. I have personally never found them to be a good judge of quality and as such don't pay them any particular attention, though I will pass along the information as they have announced their 2011 nominees with Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda 2 leading the way with 12 nominations, followed by Puss in Boots and Rango each with nine. Of course, while Disney has withdrawn from the Annies that doesn't mean they aren't considered for the awards as Cars 2, Gnomeo and Juliet and Winnie the Pooh are among the nominees. Last year How to Train Your Dragon reigned supreme over Toy Story 3 and I wouldn't be surprised to see Kung Fu Panda 2 take home plenty of hardware, following in the footsteps of its predecessor, which beat out...

Directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall's Winnie The Pooh is decidedly for all the younger viewers out there, and not so much for you and me--that is, unless you're a Zooey Deschanel completist and absolutely need to hear the songs she supplies the fluffy-as-a-feather-you-almost-don't-think-about-it soundtrack. If you have very young children--we're talking five and under, here--i imagine the reaction to the movie in your household will be something like this: You: "That was sweet. What's next?" The little one: "Play it again!" The standard for this kind of movie is maybe a bit softer because of the nature of the material. I think the goal here was to bring one of Winnie The Pooh creator A.A. Milne's stories to the screen (in this case,...

In the last few years, Disney has experimented with it’s return to the traditional animated roots that it helped to create, with The Princess and the Frog and Tangled already putting the company in a great start as they both managed to exceed their budgets in the Us domestic box office.
Winnie the Pooh is the studio’s latest input and is unfortunately at a bad end as it didn’t even reach it’s budget in America (despite worldwide gross just managing to beat it) and due to the length being only sixty minutes long, the film was only released on DVD and couldn’t get a Blu-Ray release.

Movie Review: "Winnie The Pooh"; Voiceovers: John Cleese, Jim Cummings, Bud Luckey, Craig Ferguson, Jack Houlter; Directors: Stephen J. Anderson, Don Hall; Rating: ****1/2 - is a masterpiece.

To understand how, watch "Winnie The Pooh", a film that has the look of a Disney movie from 30 years back, but feels fresh and magical -- just like the original books by A.A.

And More We Learned From Our Chat With Filmmakers Stephen Anderson & Don Hal This weekend a sweet, handsomely made family film overtook all box office records… And it sure wasn't "Winnie the Pooh." Left reeling in the boy wizard's wake (it debuted in the bottom half of the top 10), it doesn’t make "Winnie the Pooh" any less wonderful. We also have faith that the audience will find "Winnie the Pooh," if not during its initial theatrical run, then over its long life on home video (its got a timelessness that lends itself to later being dubbed a "classic").…...

If there.s a person on this planet who doesn.t like Winnie The Pooh, I have no interest in ever meeting them. Whether you.re just a kid who sees the silly old bear and his friends running around the Hundred Acre Wood or an adult who sees each character as a physical psychological representation, the stories by A.A. Milne are classic in every sense of the word. But every time you try and bring classic characters to a new audience there is a risk of alienating those that loved them previously. Fortunately, directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall perfectly avoided the problem with their new film, Winnie The Pooh. A couple weeks back I had the incredible chance to sit down with the directors at Walt Disney Pictures Animation to discuss the incredible new film. In the chat below, we discuss finding both the voice actors ...

'Winnie the Pooh'
Directors: Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall
Rated: G
Starring: Jim Cummings, John Cleese, Craig Ferguson
Common Sense Media rating: On for 3+
Moviefone Mama Says: At just over an hour, this return to the Hundred Acre Wood is an adorable chronicle of our favorite chubby bear's adventures -- searching for Eeyore's tail, scheming with his pals Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga and Roo, and, of course, foraging for that sweetest of all treats, honey. The musical numbers don't overwhelm, and the two-pronged plot (first the pals look for a replacement tail, then they try to capture the elusive "Backson," a monster that has allegedly kidnapped Christopher Robin) is engaging enough to keep even the littlest ones rapt and their parents happy.

If you’re a monstrous Disney fan like I am, there are times where you go off into a daydream thinking how great it would be if you were able to take part in some way, shape or form on the latest and greatest animated feature from the House of Mouse. But who would think that one day they would end up directing one of those adorable animated features? Not Don Hall and Stephen Anderson, that’s for sure.

For a silly old bear with a mind largely set on the pursuit of a little sweet smack of honey, Winnie the Pooh sure caused a lot of heavy thinking amongst some of the sharpest minds in show business.
"Anytime you take on a franchise that’s been around as long as Winnie the Pooh has and has been as successful as it has, there’s certainly a moment of pause and, inhaling of a deep breath before you undertake the mission because you know how important this is," Don Hill, co-director of Disney's new franchise "reboot" film, "Winnie The Pooh," told The Huffington Post.
"I mean, Pooh is still, he’s the number two character behind Mickey Mouse, so he’s really big and popular and we knew that if we mis-stepped we’d be making enemies of the diehards," Hill continued. "So I guess there was sort of...

Chicago – Walt Disney Pictures goes old school with their latest animated tale, a return to the Hundred Acre Woods and the adventures of “Winnie the Pooh.” Using the style of the classic “2-D” cartoon method, and crafting a story that is decidedly old fashioned, the folks at the Mouse Factory resisted updating the Pooh formula.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
This is your daddy’s, hell, it’s your granddaddy’s Winnie the Pooh, going back to the innocence of childhood. The film uses the energy of a child’s imagination as its universe, supposing that Christopher Robin can create the whole energy of Winnie the Pooh by making believe that his toys can come to life, thereby creating all of Pooh’s friends and supposed monster enemies. Instead of pop culture references, it’s a misunderstanding that fuels the adventure.
The animated story starts with a live action shot of Christopher Robin’s room,...

Review of Winnie the Pooh. Beautiful hand-drawn animation and sweet storytelling bring back Pooh in wonderful fashion. New Pooh pays homage to A.A. Milne. Directors Stephen Anderson (Meet the Robinsons) and Don Hall (The Princess and the Frog) replace high-tech bells and whistles with hand- drawn, 2-D animation, sweet storytelling inspired by A.A.

Ward for Winnie the Pooh, Disney's first hand-drawn animated film since 2009's The Princess and the Frog and the first Pooh feature to come out of the Walt Disney Animation Studios in 30 years (The Tigger Movie (2000), Piglet's Big Movie (2003) and Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005) were made by Disney's home video division).

Pulled from the pages of A.A. Milne – literally – the story follows Winnie the Pooh (voiced by Jim Cummings) trying to satisfy his active tummy’s urge for a jar of honey.

Most things from childhood become less compelling with age, like that book you loved ("Where the Red Fern Grows," in my case) and subsequently ruined when you reread it 10 years later. "The Adventures of TinTin," the comic-book series authored by Belgian artist Hergé, is not one of those things -- with its sophisticated, yet endearing illustrations and smart historical/cultural references that sometimes go beyond a child's understanding, it has the makings of a comic that can stand the test of adulthood. But what would Hergé say now to a new film adaptation by Steven Spielberg that looks to threaten what makes it timeless?
The trailer for Spielberg's film, "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn," was released on Monday, revealing a film that turns the classically illustrated comic into a special effects spectacle using motion capture technology:

Winnie the Pooh is one of those characters so ingrained in a child's imagination, it's hard to imagine anything about the beloved cartoon changing. But that's just what Disney has done with its brand new feature length movie. It's the first time classic Pooh has ever been turned into a feature length film - up until now, the stories have consisted of short films, sometimes amalgamated to create longer film, but still shorts nonetheless.
Now, Pooh's off on a brand new adventure in the Hundred Acre Woods and all his friends have come out to play.
We talked to Winnie the Pooh directors Don Hall and Stephen Anderson about making the updated film, but staying true to audience expectations.
"We were very reverent to the material. It was sort of Burny (story artist), he was sort of our secret weapon because he worked on the original Winnie the Pooh, so...

For live-action films, location scouting is not out of the ordinary. But for an animated movie like the new “Winnie the Pooh,” even directors Don Hall and Stephen Anderson were surprised to have a budget to travel to Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, to see the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood.
“We suggested that idea, almost as a joke, because we didn’t think they’d actually send us,” Hall admits.
While Hall and Anderson were in England, they also toured several London museums to see E.H. Shepard’s original drawings for A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories. The entire film is hand-drawn with a watercolor aesthetic, just like Shepard’s artwork. Other research for the cast and crew involved family screenings of all the previous Pooh classics.
