8 comments | Snow Day on AS! | Tweet |
EDIT: It's been fixed!
Well, there's snow again this year. Same old same old, you know how it works.
But how to turn it off?
Seems Steet forgot to add that option this year. Until he fixes it, here's how to turn off the snow in case you're not interested in seeing it. As of right now, this is really the only way that has been found to turn off the snow, so you're going to have to make due.
You'll have to go to the AS hub, and scroll ALL the way down. You'll see options like this:
As you can see, there is an option to stop the snow there. (Highlighted in red in [...] Read more!

I was busy curling up in a corner upon the realization that Samurott is a girl, when this came up. So I'm happy to post a news that I'm sure will make a lot of you happy.
A LOT of people have found their accounts have been deleted. If you are one of them, here's what to do:

Hey guys, we've noticed that lately there's been some arguing going on over names and copying.
There really is no need for it.
Names cannot be copyrighted nor can anyone be warned or banned for "copying" a name. Proving someone copied a name directly from another member would be near impossible to prove as there's no such thing as a 100% unique name and they could've gotten it from anywhere.
People can steal or copy art or characters, and that will not be tolerated and anyone doing should be reported.
But just using the same name is not against any rules and reporting someone [...] Read more!

Hi, everyone. You may remember earlier this year, when the 1st Animation Source Choice Awards was held. Well, it's time to start getting ready for the 2nd ASCA's, and this year I'm looking for YOUR help!
The way the Animation Source Choice Awards works is like this. Each year, several animated movies are released in theaters around the world. I count them up, and decide which films are eligible for which categories in the awards; the categories are set up like the Academy Awards, so there are, for exmaple, Best Picture and Best Animation. (22 in total.)

This is a message from the mods.
Recently, there has been a lot of flaiming of members in the shout boxes, through comments, and on the forums. In particular, the members are Brown wolf, MightyBalto1925, Skulblaka_Shur'tugal, Kelsey the Zombie and JerseyCaptain. As of right now, anyone caught doing this again will be given an instant month-long ban. Consider it a rule for now.
To elaborate: don't talk about them even if you talk about the situation without mentioning names. It's obvious who you talk about. And we also don't care if you talk about it either civilized or [...] Read more!

It seems the frequency of animated films is becoming more common. Box Office Mojo has updated their release schedule with updated and brand-new release dates for upcoming animated films.
First of all, let's look at rescheduled release dates for films we already knew about. The first one is "Phineas and Ferb", the theatrical film based off the TV show of the same name. What little is known about the film is that it's actually NOT animated--not entirely. Its format is described as "similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit". The film will be released in 3D (and 2D as well, don't worry) in [...] Read more!

15 comments | 15th Pokemon Movie Dub Announced | Tweet |
It was just announced today that the 15th Pokemon movie will be released on Cartoon Network on December 8. The dub title is called "Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice".
The film aired in Japan earlier this year in 350 theaters, and so far has grossed USD $44,057,737. It's a bit of a disappointment not to see this film come to theaters like last year's Victini film, but apparently Pokemon has a contract with Cartoon Network and was only able to make an exception last year.
The film follows a young Legendary Pokemon named Keldeo (voiced by famous anime actor Vic Mignogna) as he [...] Read more!

Post a comment | Character Rules | Tweet |
Hello Animation Source!
Mods have noticed all the problems going on with characters and what is accepted.
The first and probably one of the most important rules is that sparkle dogs/horses/lion ect... are not allowed. And if you aren't sure what a sparkle character is, it is any character that has an unnatural color that you would not find on the regular animal. So for almost any animal, that includes the colors blue, green, red, purple, pink ect. To go along with that, unrealistic designs are allowed. Please do not give your character excessive jewlery, this does include [...] Read more!

Due to the general lack of news in the actual animation world, I decided (upon the proposal of someone awesome, you know who you are) to write up a fan news for ALL of Animation Source. The French do this all the time: take all the Sources and show off the best parts of them, so here we go with the very first English edition!
First off, Balto Source. Our artist for this Source is Kema. Let's take a peak at what she has to offer us... Oh, how unfortunate. It seems as if one of her characters is crying in this art piece entitled: "Le Sniffle".

I'm sorry for the downtimes occuring lately, me and my co-host are still looking for what is causing them.
No change in the site code has been made lately so it's probably due to some upgrades on the server.
Until it's all fixed, please be patient!

Post a comment | Dual News: Sourcecast and the ASAs! | Tweet |
You all remember the Animation Source Awards, don't you? I'm not talking about the Choice Awards, which honor the best in film. I'm talking about the ASAs, which honor you, the members of Animation Source. Well, this year's ASAs have officially begun: the 2012 Animation Source Awards!
The rules for this year are much like the last few years. You cannot vote for yourself. You can only nominate one person per award, but as many awards as you like. No nominating banned members. You cannot use multiple accounts to vote for a person.
Otherwise, the rules are pretty lax. I'm the judge [...] Read more!

1 comment | Behind the Scenes of 101 Dalmatians | Tweet |
Hello everyone, I'm Imagine, and this is my first fan news. *cue confetti* Yay!! :)
Anyway, I have been searching on youtube and I happened to stumble upon a documentary about the making of 101 Dalmatians, and it was really interesing how they put this movie together using very unique styles and techniques. It was so interesting that I wanted to share it with you so you can be amazed by what the animators have accomplished for this wonderful film. So without further ado, here are the links to all four parts of the Documentary! Watch and be astounded.

Hey guys!
I'm doing this weeks fan creations picks, unfortunately it's just art, images & characters again. D:
I'm afraid I'm far too busy to read any fics and the other sections appeared to be full of tumbleweed, sorry about that!
Character
This week's character belongs to Dúnedain.
Smoking Loon
Smoking Loon has a really nicely laid out profile and he sounds like quite an interesting character.
I also really like his design.

Hey guys!
You might have noticed there's a new section on the left named "Merchandise" - that's right, we're currently in the process of making new Spirit merchandise pages!
You're going to have to bear with us for a short while whilst we write them but they should be coming along nicely!
If you have your own photographs of this merchandise (DVDs and CD included) I'd be much obliged if you'd consider taking a good quality photo of them (seperately) for us to use on these pages!
Just PM the images to me or blazetail. C:
You would of course be credited for your photos on the [...] Read more!

It wasn't possible before, but now the 101 Dalmatians official characters have their character names and descriptions in English! Credit goes to Dr. Faye Gx, who translated from the French, on every single bio!
Be sure to check out the newly updated characters, and don't forget to vote in the poll for NEW characters! (Link to characters page here; link to poll here.)

2 comments | New Poll - New Characters? | Tweet |
Dr. Faye Gx is wanting to make some new official characters for 101 Dalmatians Source, but there's a catch: the characters are from the book 102 Dalmatians, an adaptation of the movie. The book IS in the same style of animation as the animated films, but the characters are from the live-action movies.
Thus, I have created a poll to see what the majority of the members think about adding these characters. You can see it here.
Get to voting! The majority determines the case!

Hello, Animation Source! I am here to welcome the newest Source: 101 Dalmatians Source!
There have been so many people who have worked on this over the years! Pilot and Skip were among the first to work on it, with contributions from Grey wolf. In the end, MightyBalto1925 worked on the graphics, and Imagine and myself (Skulblaka_Shur'tugal) worked on the infos.
Come over and enjoy yourselves!

Used with permission. Banner © Hecate
Some of you may be aware of the fact that a lot of us older members are upset over the fact that people are here for all the wrong reasons. This news is what this news will be focusing on.
Yes, this fan site is out of control, and needs to be fixed. At this rate Animation Source has gone above and beyond the words "fan site". So I would like you to ask yourself, am I truly a fan? Think hard, and think seriously. Because if you are a truly a fan of whatever site you may spend your time on, then you wouldn't be using this site as a [...] Read more!
252 comments | Animation Source - Celebrating 8 Years! | Tweet |
Animation Source--first opened as Balto Source, as many of you remember--first became a website in France on May 8, 2004. As today is May 8, 2012, it means that today marks the 8 Year Anniversary of Animation Source! (The English side opened in September, but what the hay.)
^Birthday picture by Hecate^
It's hard to believe it's been 8 years. Yes, it's had its ups and downs, but look at how much progress it has made: from a yellow hard-on-the-eyes single website with less than a hundred members, to a total of 15 Sources (with more on the way!) devoted to quality animated [...] Read more!
40 comments | New site builder | Tweet |
I just thought id let spirit source know I am now a site builder for the info side of things, I do have some idea that could improve spirit source, one i am sure most of you have seen is adding the cougar, he or she is now an official character
Along with the cougar I have plans for the twins, and the Indian horses to have pages up soon, also the translation of the characters back into English with more bio in more detail
But one thing I question, should we have strider as an official character? Iv seen this over and over but i am not sure so leave a comment below letting [...] Read more!
9 comments | Sourcecast 2.0 Episode 1: "Round Two - Begin!" | Tweet |
With the original Sourcecast now put on the shelf, we are now proud to announce the release of a brand-new podcast from Animation Source: Sourcecast 2.0! And to kick off the new series, we now present you with Episode 1: "Round Two - Begin!"

What makes 2.0 different from Series 1? For starters, there are new additions to the team: Juuchan17 and Ancient Fairy Dragon. On top of this, the official website, hosted by Conay, has been re-designed and will be hosting the episodes internally now. (Don't worry, they're still available to download from iTunes.) In the future, there [...] Read more!

Post a comment | New Animation Source Game - Find.It! | Tweet |
Animation Source now brings you a new game that EVERYBODY can play: Find.It!
How Find.It! works is like this: For the next 4 weeks, the Site Infos Builders on the Sources will be hiding text (or pictures) in the official sections of the Sources. (For example, it could be the DVD section of Lady and the Tramp 2's Information tab, on Lady and the Tramp Source.) You'll know it when you see it, because it will be big, bold words at the bottom of the page.
The goal of Find.It! is to rack up as many points as possible before the four weeks are up. You earn points by finding the [...] Read more!

Hey all!
If you're wondering what happened to my last post, I deleted it due to trolls spamming it. So for the those who may not have seen it, I have added back two old audio files to the site. Go to the multimedia page under Balto to view these.
Also, as a side note, if you happen to see some odd questions being asked, do NOT reply to those, this is a troll. Ignore it and report it. These are also being posted in the comments, so be aware of that.

Disney is currently making a sequel to the Wii game "Epic Mickey", which was a very good and creative game! It will be released on Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, scheduled for fall 2012, and this news alone is already a very good one!
But the best news, is that there will be an entirely different version on the Nintendo 3DS, which will be a coming back to the 2D, hand-drawn style!!!

12 comments | Important announcement! | Tweet |
April fools! This was just a joke, there is no site being made, and your characters will be left alone.
I've recived word that there are too many characters on all the sites of AS, that starting next week all your characters will be moved to the new Animation Source character hub, which is still in the making. This means you will have to remove all your character related content off the site and put it up on this new one. Why this? Because people are not focusing on what they should be. So in order to get things back on track, this new source will solve everything.
Have a nice [...] Read more!

It's been almost a year since the last Sourcecast episode came out. Now it's time for us to present you with the final episode of Sourcecast, as we know it. Don't worry, it'll come back, re-vamped in the form of Sourcecast 2.0. But as for the original Sourcecast, this is it. (Total length is 33 minutes, so it won't take too long to listen to it)

I have noticed recently this board game, which seems to be released only in India :
http://www.firstcry.com/funskool/funskool---talespin-game/12336/product-detail
I had never seen it before, and the packaging looks quite modern, so would that be a new TaleSpin merchandise???
This wouldn't be so surprising because TaleSpin is relatively popular in India, and actually, DVD sets have been released there a few months ago! So maybe they did this board game to accompany the DVD release?
NB : It's out of stock on many stores, but this one still sells it, if someone wants to [...] Read more!

Following the news that the song "Real in Rio" had received an Oscar nomination for Best Song, the writer Sergio Mendes commented that Carlos Saldanha, the director of Rio, is wanting to develop a sequel, which he hopes to come out right around the 2014 World Cup.
Does this mean a sequel will happen? Guess we'll just have to wait and find out for sure. At this point...it seems likely.

The nominees are in, and it turns out Rio has the most nominations, with a total of 17 spread over 12 categories! This is great news for Rio, and this may be the show that gives the film the most awards! (The film has also been nominated for "Best Song" at the Academy Awards, the highest honor a film can get.)

Today, I have sent our Talespin petition to Walt Disney Home Entertainment, Disney Publishing, Disney Consumers Products and Marvel.
To be honest I have no expectation, but what's the worst that can happen? At worse, they won't do anything for Talespin, and that's exactly what they're doing for years! At best, maybe we could finally get a TaleSpin comic and the final DVD volume release?
Fingers crossed!
Also I'll keep the petition running, so that we could send more letters in the future! So if you haven't yet, please sign!

From now on, let's make it a point to make conversation in all kinds of Source boxes, not just Balto Source or Lion King or Spirit--the regular ones. Try and go with a friend to a more inactive Source, just to boost activity! Who knows? Maybe it will become your favorite [...] Read more!
31 comments | A Note Regarding Characters | Tweet |
This is a note from the moderators of all the Sources. It is important, and if you make characters, regard this as an official rule.
Recently, characters site-wide have been created that are based on, resemble, are named after, or otherwise bear a resemblance to other characters that have already been established in other media. That may seem like a mouthful to you, so let's break it down.
Say, on Bambi Source, a deer character is made that is named Pascal. It's green, doesn't speak, and is best friends with a girl named Rapunzel. This is not at all okay, as it is considered [...] Read more!

Also, now that the year is over, I suggest to push the "Talespin tee shirt logo" contest deadline to a few more months, because not many fans submitted something and at least one person had something to submit but didn't yet.
I'll also come back to the petition topic, which I'll try to prepare and send whenever I get the time to prepare everything! (I still need to get the [...] Read more!
