Animation Guests

[tenshihitomi.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or does the guest count for the Animation track seem a bit... sparse? I'm thrilled about meeting Ralph Bakshi and James Urbaniak, but I'm wondering if we'll get anyone else of note. Surely this can't be it!

Don't forget Katey Sagal. She is a HUGE guest, particularly for her work as Leela on Futurama.

Plus, Ms. Sagal's presence portends a likelihood more Futurama guests will be coming. At their panels last year, West, DiMaggio, et. al. gave a strong indication they'd like to come back this year. DiMaggio in particular, as his birthday is during D*C, and he claimed he partied pretty hard...

I was hoping to get DiMaggio's signature last year, but the Futurama folks were charging $25 a pop for autographs. Hope Katey won't be as pricey.

I think given her Married with Children fame and other projects, she'll probably charge a bit more for autos than the fellas did. Regardless, I'm excited about seeing her!

I suppose I could understand, what with the popularity of Sons of Anarchy and all. Personally, I think the guys last year charged too much. I was only able to afford Phil LaMarr.

I loved Wizards,so Ralph Bakshi being there is pretty cool to me.

Same... admittedly though, Wizards is his only film I liked enough to watch more than once.

I really like Ralph Bakshi's films. Also, I learned from his Facebook page, that he won't charge to sign DVDs! That was as a months ago anyway. I have a Lord of the Rings & Fire&Ice to get signed!

Don't forget about Michael Rosenbaum! Last year I spent the $25 for Phil LaMarr (Green Lantern) to sign my Justice Leauge DVD. It would be great to have Rosenbaum sign it too, since he was The Flash! Though I know he will charge $30 regardless most likely.

There was also the Death Of Superman DVD that I liked a lot, even though other fans didn't. Adam Baldwin was Superman and James Marsters was Luthor!

I suppose I'm hoping for more folks whose main focus is animation/voice acting. Each day I desperately scan the list for Kevin Conroy's name...::sigh::

I own *hours* of various kinds of animation on DVD and will happily provide programming [plus intros] if you have a spare DVD projector and a screen. Oh, and pay my flight & accommodation :-).

I've run an animation track for several years at the Bristol International comic expo. Specialisms : Oliver Postgate, Camberwick Green [etc], Aardman animations and many more
