About a month ago, I talked about this wonderful documentary SPARKHILL was doing for WARNER BROTHERS for the special edition of THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS DVD....well, it isn't so wonderful anymore. The brilliant WB legal department decided that all of the RARE photos I provided for the piece, shouldn't be used. They said, "no pictures of the puppets and no pictures of the people that made ANIMAGIC happen?" They are so fearful of a lawsuit these days, that they are willing to sacrifice the quality of the product they are putting out there for the fans???? I have supplied similar photographs to GOLDEN BOOKS ENTERTAINMENT and ANCHOR BAY and they were used on several DVDs in the extras, without any problem what so ever.
