Don't you find it peculiar that in Gravity Falls there's a character named Kryptos that looks kind of like Crypto Currency?

Apparently there's a Pac-Man movie being made by the director of "It Ends with Us" Justin Baldoni but the production is put on pause do to some kind of lawsuit with the director so we might have to wait a while.

I don't know, What do you think?

Disney Veterans John Musker and Ron Clements wanted to pitch the film to Disney at one point but was scrapped due to Spielberg already obtaining the rights, There version of the film would have been like Snow White, but a 7-year-old girl and with dinosaurs in place of dwarfs.

!New Speculated Discovery!

I looked up the word Crazy Dog by Amblimation but found little to nothing but what I just posted.

Then I looked up the word Crazy Dog without Amblimation and found out about a Native American story so I assume this film would be based around that?
In the background of this picture of Steven Spielberg with Phil Nibbelink and Simon Wells is concept art for a unmade Amblimation film seemingly titled Crazy Dog and it has images of Native American boy and girl, Any one know about what this is?

Did you know: The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald series was going to have more then 6 episode but ended due to there long and expensive production and diminishing sales over the years, As well as other internal struggles at Klasky Csupo.

Apparently in the early 90s and the late 2000s Seltzer and Friedberg (known for Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans and many other bad spoof movies) made a script for a Looney Tunes movie for Ivan Reitman but it never materialized.

(Personally, I'm glad and can live with that)

Did you know that George Lucas wanted to show the Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century shorts in front of prints of Star Wars: A New Hope but he couldn't do so due to legal reasons.

A layout art for a unmade Looney Tunes short titled "What's Hip, Doc?" aka "Bugs vs. The PETA Model".

It would have been about Bugs being saved from Elmer by a supermodel from PETA with an anti-fur stance that is not completely decided on.

This short would have put PETA in a negative light.

This is a animation pencil test for the unreleased 2000s Looney Tunes short titled "Reaper Madness".

It would have been about Granny going shopping while the Grim Reaper tries to kill her.

Fun Fact, This film released 30 years ago.

I do have some fun facts about it but I might release them with increments over time this year or the next few months.

Hey, Just to ask, Did anyone own these comic books at all as a kid?

I kept seeing ads for them on TV but you never hear about anyone owning one.

They have been making them since the 90s and apparently they are still making newer ones today if the bottom two are any proof.

Quest for Camelot posters in this background of a season two episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

WOW! They were really banking on this film being a hit weren't they?
