WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

 On this day in 1901 Ub Iwerks was born. Iwerks was, without doubt, the most influential animator in history. He created Mickey Mouse, Oswald the Lucky Rabitt and many other early Disney studios characters before splitting with Disney to work on creations he would receive credit for and directed several Loony Tunes cartoons. Upon his return to the Disney fold he created the technique used to marry cell animation with live action film used in films such as Song of the South, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, he also used a version of this technique in some of the special effects he created for Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds. Iwerks' cartoons also became popular in Japan after World War II and inspired the art style of Astro Boy, which in turn influenced the art style of most Manga and Anime around today and practically created the medium and market as we know it today.
