Fun: Songs of Praise Subtitled

July 8th, 2007

A bit childish I know, but have a look at this video of Songs of Praise (a UK religious show) that has been subtitled. Can you work you what they are really singing?

Fun: Jim Jam Jelly…..

May 28th, 2007

From the producers of the Singing Kittens – there is now The Jelly Song – extremely funny (even without the visuals) and catchy… Worth a watch.

And whilst on the subject of Jelly, the new Skoda Fabia advert (watch it after the fold) is fascinating: a car baked out of ingrediants (there’s also the making of video available).

Disney Help Explain Copyright Law

May 20th, 2007

From Boing Boing via Stupid Evil Bastard is this Stanford University Cyberlaw documentary film program about copyright utilising Disney® copyrighted movie clips under the Fair usage act.

Why Disney? Well, to me they seem to be a major copyright abuser (the Lion King character and the intro to the film is very similar to a Japanese animated series Kimba the White Lion: they even appear to have used the “Lion Sleeps Tonight” music without permission, Atlantis is meant to be similar to “Nadia: Secret of Blue Water” and “Laputa: Castle in the Sky”, characters in Aladdin are meant to be similar to ones in The Thief And The Cobbler and I’m reasonable sure there’s others), but they are also one of the main companies who keep pushing for copyright extensions (see The Mickey Mouse Protection Act.

I also don’t quite like their policies of “niceify” some stories (such as The Brother Grimm stories, Peter Pan, 101 Dalmations etc) – at least if Disney are going to make them into films (even though the stories are public domain and therefore available to be used “without fees”: something no Disney item is likely to become), they could at least keep the story intact.

Net: Bewitched Original Opening

September 10th, 2006

Some of you, like myself, may have heard of the “original” opening to Bewitched – advertising Chevrolet cars: but being in the UK, you hadn’t actually seen the extra work Hanna Barbera (who animated the title sequence) put in… But now you can!
