Get offline for a few hours, and you learn that the other half of Rankin-Bass, Jules Bass, has died. A revolutionary creator and producer of holiday institutions as well as someone who helped build the Japanese animation industry outside of Japan for decades. RIP, Mr. Bass.
I'm one of those guys who liked Atlantis: The Lost Kingdom. I also dig Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, a series Atlantis was kind of inspired by.
Atlantis is on Disney+, and Nadia is on Crunchyroll.
But you probably knew that.
Today also marks the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Calamity Jane, a brilliant French animated western drama/action series co-produced by Warner Bros that was shamefully dropped by Kids' WB after three weeks.

25 years ago today, September 13, 1997, we all experienced five hours of summer once a week courtesy of Disney's One Saturday Morning block on ABC, which premiered that day. Recess and Pepper Ann made their debut alongside the second season of Disney's Doug.
Happy 30th birthday @dcharleyquinn, you wonderfully-twisted queen.
(Shout out and much love to Kaley Cuoco, Margot Robbie, Hynden Walch, Tara Strong, Melissa Rauch, and ESPECIALLY Arleen Sorkin, the inspiration and the embodiment of the Clown Queen of Chaos)
Seriously, DC Mech is a pretty solid, interesting, and promising concept that takes the familiar DC heroes and gives them a mecha edge.
If DC's owner was a competently-run company, they'd be prepping this for an animated series.
I want tons of WB-owned characters on Multiversus. Folks want characters like Fred Flintstone, Ben Tennyson, KO, Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, Pennywise, and others. I want 'em too. But here's a quartet I really want to see too.
Hey, remember when Cartoon Network used to air cartoons like this?
I tell ya, girls weren't drawn to these shows at all since they were so hypermasculine. /s
Cartoon Network really hasn't done anything dedicated to the historical side of animation since their podcast miniseries, Drawn: The Story of Animation.
I wouldn't mind them going back into that again.
