The Bleeding Has Stopped

It's with a heavy heart that I must inform the loyal readers of this blog that I've decided, after two and a half years and close to 600 posts, I'm closing the door on "Bleeding Pixels."

The reasons are the same reasons that I'm sure have cost the lives of many a great blog, so I won't waste your time with details. The simple fact is that I don't have the time with my new family, Animation Mentor, and a possible new position within my games group on the horizon.

So as you can tell, none of the reasons for shutting the blog down are a negative, but the outcome for those who read it are.

I'll still be posting to my other blog at 3Dave.com and plan to continue posting the ocassional blurb about the world of animation, but for now I need to focus on chasing my dream of becoming a part of that very world.

I want to thank each of you who continued to visit over the last couple of years. I'll be leaving the site up as an archive, so that you can still read the interviews and browse through the posting, should you choose to do so.

In the meantime, if you need your fix of animation news, hit up: Animated News

Maybe someday, not too far down the road, some dork with an animation blog will be writing about me and the work I did on "WALL-E 7".

Take care, and thanks for stopping by.

Another Ice Age 3 Poster

To confuse kids the world over even further, here is the brand new poster for Blue Sky's upcoming "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs."



I think it's awesome to see yet another movie come out that totally throws natural history to the wind and just makes up its own story. The only thing this one seems to be missing is a good car chase where the T-Rex chases down the Ice Age crew in a Smart Car.

Horton Hears A Who... TODAY!

Blue Sky's "Horton Hears A Who" opens today in theaters all over the place!



The film is sitting at an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes right now, which is pretty much unheard of in recent years for a non-Pixar produced animated film. From the trailers and stills, it looks nothing short of fantastic, so make sure you get out there and see it!



I can't wait!

Madagascar 2 Preview

Who's up for a little "Madagascar 2" magic?



I liked the first film, but don't feel the need to return to it often, like I do with some of the other films in my collection. So while I'm sure I'll enjoy the sequel, I'm not as excited about it as I am for "Horton," "WALL-E," or getting Ben Stiller off of my computer screen.

New WALL-E Trailer!

You read that right, folks! Apple has posted the latest trailer for Pixar's upcoming "WALL-E" film in all sorts of formats and sizes!




I don't know why I care about that little bugger so much, but I do.

Dawn of the Dinosaurs!

Coming Soon has a brand new, and somewhat blurry, photo of the next Ice Age film from Blue Sky.



The poster also reveals the film's official title, which looks to be "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs."

The entire poster can be viewed by hitting the link below, as I didn't want to get in trouble for taking the entire image from Coming Soon. Plus I've always felt that the eyes really are the gateway to the Dinosaur's soul.

Am I dead?

No, silly, I'm not dead. I just don't have anything to post. I imagine things will start to pick up as "Horton" and "WALL-E" draw closer, but until then, I can't post what I don't have.

Stick around... I'll put something up when I'm good and ready!
