First of all I want to thank you very much for all of the wonderful email that has come my way in the last month. You’ve all been wonderful beyond words. I appreciate all the offers for help on ToonFinder, and everything else thats been coming my way.

I know I was very vague about why there hadn’t been a podcast in a while, I did that on purpose. I know people thought it was everything from personal problems to computer trouble. Let me tell you right now that the reasons were not negative at all. I’ve been working on some new projects that just can’t co-exist with ToonFinder Presents.

And so, it’s a bitter-sweet piece of news I have to bring you today. There will most likely be no more podcasts from this website. I say ‘most likely’ because it’s not out of the realm of possibility that I will be able to come back to ToonFinder Presents at some future time.

I will be leaving the blog and photos up for the foreseeable future for your enjoyment, and I will most likely post occasional updates about character news. And when the other projects I’m working on come to life I will be sure to let you know.

Thank you again for the short but wonderful run of ToonFinder Presents.

I just wanted to make sure you knew I haven’t forgotten about the podcast. There are a few factors that are very much out of my control holding me up from posting the next episodes.

I want to thank you all very much for the many many nice emails about ToonFinder Presents. I’m working hard to resolve the issues that have kept us offline for way too long.

In the meantime, get to a Disney park and say hello to a character for me!

Linus.

It’s one of what I know is millions of experiences.

We’re starting a project, but we need your help!

I would love to hear your story! Please email me your touching/happy/amazing/funny stories about Disney Cast Members and your experiences with them.

I’d like to know what you think of splitting the podcast in two. Drop me some email and tell me what you think.

And a great story about giving someone else the same “Disneyland eyes” that I have.

I’m thinking about getting it running for ToonFinder so you all can talk to me for the show. Let me know if you have, and what you think.

Can you help answer character finding questions for parks other than Disneyland in CA? It shouldn’t be a huge thing… just a few emails a week. Let me know via email if your interested.

I talk some about letting the characters play their part… Don’t order them around into what you think the photo should be. It won’t turn out as good as you think.

The Muppet Show DVD box set is coming! It’s all to celebrate the 50th birthday of Kermit the Frog. Who knew he was born the same year as Disneyland?!?

Some more bits about Hong Kong Disneyland’s environmental activist group troubles (fireworks and such).

Roy Disney makes a major donation to the Orange Coast College.

And finally here are some resources to learn about the most recent court activities of the Walt Disney Company and how they will effect the running of the company.

The new layout is currently having problems in Internet Explorer for PC. Please bare with me while I work out the kinks.

I will be experimenting a bit with this look, and it will most likely be taking over the whole site.

I have some more info on the move, and why it actually sounds like it might alleviate all the problems that the princesses have faced at Plaza Inn.

We also dig a little deeper into my opinion of hand-drawn vs. CG character animation.

A big thanks to Don over at the Magical Theme Park Podcast for the nod on his last show.
