DC Comics obtained Quality comics (and Plastic Man) in 1956. It wasn't util July 1966 that Plastic Man first appeared in an issue of Dial H for Hero by not as his official character (Patrick "Eel" O'Brian) but as Robby Reed.
The only official live action portrayal of Plastic Man performed by Mark Craig Taylor. He would provide intros, outros, and segues for The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show.
In Coraline, to distinguish the difference between the real world and the other world the sets weren't just redressed, they were rebuilt. The real world was flat with forced perspective angled set pieces, while to other world was built out to feel more spacious.
The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show produced by Ruby-Spears Productions from 1979 to 1981. The show also starred his sidekick Hula-Hula, a bumbling Hawaiian government agent, his girlfriend Penny and a kid named Baby Plas.
Plastic Man, created by Jack Cole, first appeared in August 1941 in Police Comics issue number 1, under the publisher Quality Comics. Plastic Man was reintroduced in DC Comics in November 1988 in Plastic Man vol 3 written by Phil Foglio. Using the same origin story.
Concept art of potential scenes for LEGO's Billion Brick Race. It's possible this film is not completely cancelled. Now that LEGO Group is working with Universal Studios, we could see this movie done with Universal IP rather than WB.
The very first CG LEGO animation JACK STONE (2001). Animated by Artworld UK, this VHS tape was sent for free to subscribers of LEGO Club Magazine.
The LEGO Movie pays homage to The Magic Portal and other Brickfilms, emphasizing how their toys are truly meant to inspire and encourage creativity.
The first widely known Brickfilm was The Magic Portal (1989) created by Australian filmmaker Lindsay Fleay. After 4 years of making the film and presenting it to LEGO, he was given a cease and desist. The lawsuit was soon dropped.
The earliest known Brickfilm En rejse til månen (Journey to the Moon) created in 1973 by Danish cousins Lars C. Hassing (12) and Henrik Hassing (10).
The oldest known LEGO Stop-Motion Animation. Not much is known of it's production. The ad was shown in German theaters in the early 1960s.

Part 2 of our Toy Story 3 episode drops today! This week we cover the infamous "recall" script. open.spreaker.com/A4NZ/1sfaamhw
A potential script for the unmade Circle 7 Toy Story 3. It was going to be a horror film. Although Pixar has claimed they never read it, you can find some elements of this script in their short Toy Story of Horror.
After a long hiatus I'm happy to announce that we are back with a new episode and a new podcast name! While you're on your way to see Toy Story 5 you should check out what could've happened if a Toy Story sequel was made without Pixar. www.spreaker.com/episode/toy-...
When it was first announced that Coyote vs Acme was to be cancelled, Steven Price, the composer who scored the filmed, posted behind the scenes footage of the Roadrunner choir performing "Meep Meep".
The Coyote vs Acme film was inspired by the fictional New Yorker article under the same name, going over the case details of the damages caused by Acme products to Wile E. Coyote and their monopoly. Written by Ian Frazier, illustration by Luci Gutiérrez, and published on February 18, 1990.
While we're still waiting for Coyote vs Acme, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner are no stranger to the silver screen. Making cameos in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam, and Looney Tunes Back in Action.
Beep Beep The Road Runner Comics ran from 1966 to 1984 with 105 issues. In it, the chase continues but with very major change. The characters SPOKE! Often times in rhymes and Shakespearean prose.
Early concept art of the Road Runner and the Coyote illustrated by Chuck Jones. In early drawings the Coyote was referred to as "Don Coyote" before given his official name Wile E. Coyote.
A few years ago I picked up a copy of the Batman Forever comic adaptation on a whim from Blast From the Past in Burbank. I'm glad now that I never passed on this.
