There was an all-star cast for Captain Planet. Jeff Goldblum and Meg Ryan voiced villains as well, LeVar Burton from off of out of Star Trek TNG did the voice of Kwame, and Whoopi Goldberg voiced Gaia. That's just off the top of my head. They're all listed here. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0098763/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I still remember seeing a newspaper article about how this new Captain Planet cartoon was going to be even more popular than the Turtles and deciding that I wouldn’t like it out of spite. I’d watch it but I wouldn’t enjoy it. Wrestling fans are born not manufactured. Edited December 9, 2022 by Mr_Danger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted December 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) How to animate in Canva. I'm a simpleton, so whilst I can amend templates within After Effects and knock a couple of basic bits and pieces together, anything beyond that feels like the mental equivalent of climbing Everest, or Fuji, or Grapes Hill in Norwich after a night out in my formative years. Canva's free option is really good. The pro option is even better as it gives you much more to work with. There's still a few things I'm working out but I find it to be ridiculously user friendly and the in-built templates are great. At the moment I'm trying some basic animations to showcase how much something costs and how much something weighs in terms of tonnes - once I'd worked out how to add the different elements separately I was really pleased with what I'd knocked together. The background remover tool is surprisingly very smooth as well, again, much more user friendly process than trying to correctly use the lasso tool in Photoshop. Edited December 9, 2022 by Fatty Facesitter I can edit animations, but not spelling apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so smooth and simple. I do most of my web graphics in there and it's constantly evolving. Anything more complex and I go straight to Photopea.com. Identical to Photoshop except you're not giving money to Adobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 9, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2022 A pilot for Blackadder was filmed, but never broadcast. The episode got adapted into the episode Born To Be King, but is quite different. John Savident plays, I say John Savident plays the King, but he seems much more Tudoresque. The Queen is a pastiche of Elizabeth the firsf. Edmund and Baldrick's roles are much closer to how they are in the other three series, and a different actor altogether plays Baldrick. It's an interesting watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin is a massive fan of Bean, so years ago we got him a book - Mr. Bean's Diary. Basically printed to look like his planner with his weird plans and ideas scrawled in it. There is mention there of him meeting Irma; he's so infatuated with her, he writes the following poem: "Irma Gobb has got a job At the local library She does her job, does Irma Gobb At the library down in Highbury" Edited December 21, 2022 by Carbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
