I'm back

After 4 days of unpacking, I've found my computer! And I have a new monitor.

Just spent the past four days moving into my new apartment, and then my computer monitor went to that Great PC in the Sky. But here are a few things I'm working on:

- More of my list of 10 essential animated films. These are the flicks that I feel every animated fan should know/own. What do you think so far? Is there a classic I missed? Strike back below.

- Reviews: Over the Hedge is coming out this Friday, with Cars joining it on June 9. Both Comingsoon.net and Ain't It Cool News) have given Hedge solid reviews, and Cars looks like another winner from the mighty Pixar. Who will win, both critically and at the box office? I'll be sure to give you my unrestrained opinions on these, and other features coming out this year.

- Future films that I'm keeping an eye on include Nickelodeon's Barnyard (due July 28), Warner Bros.' The Ant Bully (due Aug. 4), and Aardman's <Flushed Away (November 30).

- News, news, news. What's going on in animation from around the world, and around the Web. New DVD's, new movies, new TV shows . . . whether it's cell, CG, stop motion or puppets, if it's animated I'm on it.

Stick around. It should be a lot of fun.
