[QUOTE="Warrior Poet, post: 2694200, member: 1057"] OK, got a chance to watch some of the extras on the [I]Fire and Ice[/I] disks last night, for a few minutes. The digital remastering looks great. :D The on-set photos from Sean Hannon (turns out he was the physical actor who played Nekron, but was not the voice actor) were really cool, and the making-of mini movie was neat to see how they did animation [CROTCHETY OLD TIMER] back in my day! [/CROTCHETY OLD TIMER] Storyboards, hand drawn cells, background paintings, calculating stuff out on an adding machine, typewriters, the whole bit. Really cool to see, and I kept saying things like, "I remember that!" and "I had a pair of vans just like those!" :) Fascinating stuff. Interesting tidbit: one of the main background painters for the film? Thomas Kinkade. Yep, that Thomas Kinkade, the one who does all the winter wonderland sort of paintings, and the little miniature house things and so forth (at least, I think it's that Thomas Kinkade). Wild. Anyway, very interesting. Also got a few minutes into the Frazetta documentary. Frazetta is the king. No other fantasy artist has the effect that his art does, in my opinion. There are many great artists that inspire me to pick up a book or roll dice or map out a campaign or jot down a story idea, but Frazetta is the one who makes me want to physically take up a sword and go conquer a kingdom and stand in victory atop a pile of vanquished foes with a lusty sorceress clutching my, uh, legs. Thanks, Frank. You rock. Warrior Poet [/QUOTE]
