Bambala-Yé starts in the heart of Africa, with a group of zany animals who form a rainbow musical group to get the whole continent swinging and rocking on their tour. The 3D animated, musical comedy is co-produced by Cyber Group Studios and Timoon Animation, who have partnered with EMI Publishing Worldwide to make the songs of Bambala-Yé available for download.

The animated movie Eloise in Africa will be appearing on DVDs later this year, coinciding with the release of her live-action counterpart, Eloise in Paris. The Animation Collective and HandMade Films production will be the first animated Eloise film, with another one hitting DVD shelves every year after.

As King Mufasa’s younger brother in The Lion King, Scar sees his whole life as the outcast, living outside the kingdom. When Mufasa’s son Simba was born, the new cub lowered Scar’s ranking even further, replacing him as second-in-command. This boiled Scar’s rage, and he formed a plan to take over The Pride Lands. By doing away with his brother Mufasa and his nephew Simba, Scar would be king, and able to rule the land as he saw fit. True evil, at work!

Whether it’s the notion that he’s willing to kill his own family, the fact that he’s an evil lion ready to attack at any time, his ability to lead over an army of hyenas, or that creepy creepy creepy voice, Scar is definitely one of the scariest character. Check out some video footage of this selection after the break! (more… )
