Check out Chuck the Movieguy's interview and laugh. And laugh. And laugh...

JoBlo Interviews Rhino...

The promotions with Rhino are starting to come out...

The JoBlo website got an interview with the little fella while he was outside his ball. Take a look and remember that it was all recorded live. This wasn't a setup...

And if you're a morning person, check out KTLA5 at 7:15 a.m. tomorrow and watch who Mark Kriski has helping him with the weather.

It'll be awesome...

Life Is A Ball...

If you're watching the entertainment shows in the next few days you may get a little treat...

With the impending release of "Bolt" on DVD/Blu-Ray, they're going to be interviewing a lot of the cast and you should expect a few surprises. When shows like Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood and the like start interviewing characters like Rhino the hamster.

Actually live.

Live? Yup. You can expect a live interview about the release of the film with Rhino the little fella with ADD talking up a storm about how awesome Bolt(film and star) is to work with. Now the way they're doing this is through WDI's Living Character Initiative. Through that advanced technology, interviewers like Mary Hart and others will be able to ask animator Mark Walton about how it was to star with the white doggie. And it'll be very believable and very cute, so watch for it.

Awesome...

Super Awesome...

Here's the first still from the new Disney short "Super Rhino" that will be on the DVD/Blu-Ray of Walt Disney Animation Studios "Bolt" next week...

I Feel Alive!!!

Brooks Barnes over at the New York Times has a great article up about visual development artist, Mark Walton, aka: Rhino the Hamster. You can tell by the way Mark talks and the developments that are happening that the world in the Hat Building is another universe away from what it was just a few years ago. People make the difference. Leadership under the right people can accomplish wondrous things. It's a shame Michael Eisner forgot that...

Give it a read.

Theft By Design...

I'm starting to hear a lot of people complaining about the design of the characters of the new WDAS "Bolt" and although I agree that they're not as quirky as the ones designed by Sanders, they are very appealing characters. Just so you know, I've seen about two minutes of finished animation of this upcoming film that a Bothan let me look at and it looks far better than what we've been presented with so far. I also got to see enough structured, unfinished work to tell you that if you like well thought out characters then you have nothing to fear. And those of you that are worried about Disney's return to animation glory have no need to worry. It's a truly beautiful film.

That said, I'll tell you out front that there's one character that will steal the show...

Rhino, the ADD Hamster is going to be a fan favorite after this film is released.

If you read my article about Pixar's Secondary Characters that tend to steal the show you'll understand what I mean... the little Hamster in the ball is this film's scene stealer... he's got true heart.

Just like the film itself...
