Manning’s Broncos come
With Manning’s Broncos coming away with a thrilling two-point victory over Brady’s Patriots, the Taiwanese animation creators had some fun putting together a pretty bizarre recap. Let’s break it down, shall we?
But, for as good as Manning was, the Broncos’ defense was the real MVP of the game. They constantly put pressure on Brady all day long, forcing him to take hits and make some terrible throws we’re not used to seeing him make.
They gave Manning credit for having a great game, but still found ways to poke some fun at the aging veteran.
Apparently, the pressure was so intense that Denver’s defenders managed to turn Brady into a joint.
Weird, but that’s just the beginning. From there, things took a pretty dark turn.
With Manning coming out on top on what might be the final showdown between the QBs, he now gets to sit on the throne. That throne is apparently a toilet.
Like, really dark. Here we have Broncos defenders — likely stoned on that Brady dank — dabbling in mutilation and dismemberment.

top animated film
The late '90s and mid '00s were a dreary time for Disney activity: that pre-"Solidified" period paid nothing off in the cinema world, in extensive part since movies such as "Sibling Bear" and "Home On The Range" were amazingly poor. Be that as it may, the real sparkling light (alongside "The Emperor's New Groove," which is outstandingly Chuck Jones-esque) was "Lilo and Stitch." It's a riff on "E.T." at first glance — unpredictable young lady becomes a close acquaintence with intergalactic runaway—however executives Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois (who'd go ahead to make "How To Train Your Dragon") make it sing through specificity: , who are being researched by social administrations. It maybe doesn't remain with the mid '90s late brilliant period of Disney, however it's a magnificently peculiar and hugely fulfilling film.the dazed devilishness of the delightfully maniacal Stitch, the flawlessly acknowledged Hawaiian setting, and the amazing tenderness of Lilo and her more seasoned sister
Each era feels a feeling that the offspring of today are passing up a great opportunity for some indispensable piece of youth because of the mechanical headways of cutting edge life (right back to the first Neolithic Dad who shook his head unfortunately at his child's utilization of those brand new bronze apparatuses). However, Disney's hand-enlivened "Winnie the Pooh" from executives Don Hall and Stephen J Anderson inspires less difficult times with appeal and mind and even — pant!— recommends the joys of perusing, with the characters associating with content on the page in a constantly innovative manner. . In any case, this is a short, quiet, tenderly peculiar reverence to one of the sweetest and best-cherished youngsters' characters ever that regards Pooh's unique source material — AA Milne's superb books It's honestly for exceptionally youthful kids, and a few grown-ups who grew up with past Disney Pooh movies were clearly frustrated this wasn't exactly as, very much, Disneyfied
In light of a tenderly dreamlike French-dialect TV appear and bearing the refinement of being the first stop-movement activity ever to be appeared in Cannes, "A Town Called Panic" from Belgians Stéphane Aubier andVincent Patar is the silly story of Cowboy (a plastic toy cattle rustler), Indian (a plastic toy Indian) and Horse (a plastic toy you get the thought) who live respectively in a house in the nation and get into baffling scratches. An endeavor to observe Horse's birthday goes amiss when a web request for 50 blocks incidentally is confused for 50 million blocks, thus they assemble huge dividers which are stolen by noxious ocean animals, so they go track them down through a territories cold, airborne, underground and forested… the plot has neither rhyme nor reason and the story can feel as jerky as the charmingly unrefined liveliness. But on the other hand it's contributed with an absolutely insane person vitality that is less about fabulous account circular segments than the passing communications and weirdnesses that pack each and every b

Profit Margins
The Fool (not me, another fool) shines a light on Disney movie grosses and Disney profits.
Which isn't to say that Marvel's been a slouch, just that buying Pixar (which, let's face it, wouldn't have happened if Michael Eisner had remained in charge) has been one of Iger's better strategic moves.
One management team (Catmull and Lasseter) runs two successful cartoon studios; also, too, the less successful DisneyToon Studios. So all in all, the $7.2 billion purchase of Pixar in 2006 has paid off.
The Marvel acquisition has worked well too, just not as richly as the Emeryville pick-up.
And with the torrent of good news, there was today this announcement:
To give you the chronology, Mr. Millstein was a DreamQuest executive when Disney bought the visual effects house in the late '90s. (This was long before VFX studios were dying like fruit flies. Andrew was part of the Disney team that negotiated the Secret Lab contract in 1999. I was part of the union group on the other side of the table).
Andrew Millstein ran The Secret Lab -- feature animation's internal visual effects facility -- and after that Disney Animation Florida. When the Orlando facility closed in the mid oughts, Mr. Millstein returned to the California studio (now known as The Walt Disney Animation Studios, and has worked there ever since.
Congratulations to both Andrew and Jim Morris.
... Marvel's The Avengers set new opening weekend records in May 2012, going on to earn over $1.5 billion worldwide. Among Disney pictures, only Frozen has produced more profit since the studio took full control of Pixar in May 2006.
Most Profitable Films -- Total Gross -- Gross Profit -- Profit %
Frozen -- $1,274,219,009 -- $628,559,074 -- 40.57%
The Avengers -- $1,518,594,910 -- $621,295,630 -- 35.82%
Toy Story 3 -- $1,063,171,911 -- $447,485,580 -- 34.13% ...
... From the close of the Pixar acquisition on May 9, 2006, to today, Disney has added roughly $90 billion in market cap -- from just over $62 billion to more than $155 billion as of this writing. Pixar is probably responsible for over half those gains. ...
