In spite of his name, Thrax's infection is not actually modeled on Anthrax, but rather Malaria. His method of killing Frank via hyperthermia is one of the symptoms of Malaria and quinine (Drix's active ingredient) was used until the mid 20th century as an antimalarial drug.

The 'Dethalbum' by Brendon Small and Ulrich Wild, made to pair with Metalocalypse which was itself a sendup of metal music and culture, ironically became the highest Billboard 200 death metal album in history, only overtaken by its own sequel, Dethalbum II.
Chase Thompson
Fascinating.

Len Wein had a bit part in the B splatter film The Laughing Dead, along with cartoon writers Lydia Marano, Brynne Stephens, and Arthur Byron Cover.
Evan Wilson
>his name wasnt Larry
Thrax is cool, but Larry would be funny.
Especially if he was the same badass self.
Robert Morgan
I can see it.
>Look at him, he thinks he's the ebola virus
>etc etc death and burning

Evan Baker
Laryngitis probably has dibs on the name Larry.

Lord Hater's voice actor also did Reaper

The reason Vlad Masters/Plasmius hits so many vampire trope wickets is because he was originally just going to be one before the censors said no. So he became a half ghost like Danny.
Luke Campbell
>before the censors said no
Wait, they were okay with a series about the tormented ghosts of dead people, but not vampires?
Logan Bell
few in the general public understood anthrax then. destroying cells with the claw is the closest he gets to the bacteria
Luke Ross
I'm not sure if it was Nick or Butch that shot it down, but it was because Vampires are (somehow) seen as more occult.
John Bennett
strange. as if american shows for kids had no vampires
Jaxson Nguyen
In spite of his costume, Donald Duck officially retired from the Army in the 1970s. As such, the only branch of service without a classic cartoon mascot is the Air Force. Popeye represents the Navy, and Bugs Bunny was a Marine.
Isaiah Martinez
what about coast guard
Justin Wood
Despite many cartoons referencing real life bug facts they often fail to portray even basic knowledge of insects in the actual cartoon breaking many viewers immersions. Just keep to doing cartoon logic and don't make a joke about how long a certain bug lives for.
Jose Rivera
He's talking about military branches.
Leo Adams
When Coco was still in early production Disney tried to outright Copyright the festivity of The Day Of The Dead itself.
Nicholas Miller
To add on to this, his outfit was apparently a reference to Little Roy Fauntleroy
Ethan Wood
I almost forgot about this act of fucking hubris. Disney is culturally destructive.
Camden Cook
man, that would have been great
Cooper Nelson
Laurence Fishbourne killed that roll
Caleb Hernandez
If you want even more then let me tell you, they also tried yo copyright sugar skulls. Yes, sugar skulls, as in the traditional seasonal candy everyone makes, which means that they were intending on making the small families who make them have to pay them, a big corporation, to be able to work on their only source of income. Needless to say, everyone got pissed off.
And funny enough Disney wasn't able yo pull it through not because they wanted to pull off, but because there was already a mexican animated movie already trademarked and copyrighted, with the name "Dia de muertos" and that was the name disney was intending on titling their movie, but had to change it to "Coco"

The USCG is a branch of the Armed Forces. They fall under Homeland Security instead of DoD.

I hope people were pissed about that, that's just insane.
Brandon Gomez
Thanks for the 2 (you)s. and yes,as i said above, people got really pissed off about it.

Isaac Powell
One of Thrax's earlier designs. He had six limbs, was gigantic, and dressed like an Elvis impersonator.
It's really weird, and it's possible that they weren't even thinking of having Laurence Fishburne voice the character when they made this.

>Meanwhile at the time we've had the Energy Vampire from Buzz Lightyear, Count Spankulot from KND, Count fucking Chocula, Scooby Fucking Doo's multiple occultish things around that time period, Mona the Vampire, Marceline the Vampire Queen from AT, the various occultish things including vampires and worse in Courage the Cowardly Dog, Mina and the Count that aired on Nick, and a shit ton more
>All in a show about ghosts, the dead, the damned, with supernatural references ghostified like Werewolves, dead children pirates, dead teenagers multiple times, a dead slave concubine that granted wishes, a mentally abusive and manipulative ghost woman, fucking halloween ghosts and knights, and an extremely occult looking circus freakshow featuring wannabe cenobite motherfuckers

I wonder at which point of production they decided on a mostly black main cast for the animation

lucky they got him. he had the best voice and character
Jacob Stewart
What I'm getting here is that they wanted to trademark the name "Day of the Dead" as a cartoon movie name, you can't hold a trademark that applies to everything, only one form of products. That's why you're allowed to sell apples despite Apple being a trademarked name, because that trademark only applies to tech (see also: Apple records). Other obvious example is the various companies called Delta [something].
As for the candy, can't be copyrighted as it's too ingrained in popular culture (same as if they were going to try trademarking "Day of the Dead" as a Disneyworld celebration), not sure why the bothered trying.
Brayden Jones
In Stephen Soderbergh's 2009 film The Informant!, Frank Welker has a rare live-action role as the main character's father. A number of stand-up comedians also appeared in prominent and supporting roles, as well as Richard Steven Horvitz.
Lucas Morris
David Hasselhoff did a rap single on Pingu
Isaac Miller
No, from what i remember they not only tried to copyright the name "Day of the dead". They tried to copyright the name, the celebration, the sugar skulls candy (because apparently they were already planning a mold for mickey sugar skulls), and literally egerything related to the festivity.
I say i remember because thie story passed on the news in here when that happened some years ago, and yes, i mean mexico.
Samuel Green
The UK and US versions of Dennis the Menace both premiered in newspapers on the EXACT SAME DAY. Both were developed and published without any knowledge of the other's existence.
Christopher Thompson
>Osmosis Jones had a budget of 70 million
>only made 14 million at the box office
That can't be true at all. It seems like everyone I know has seen it at some point. Was it a sleeper hit on video or something? How did a massive bomb spawn a 2 season tv series
Thomas Hughes
>everyone I know has seen it at some point
It looks like many american kids watched it at school, the movie was really some wasted potential.
Noah Wilson
I just don't understand why they'd try to pull that, that's not really how copyright works.

>Top Yahoo executives clashed with Tumblr, or just flat out confused employees. On one occasion, an executive overseeing [Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp] and his division perplexed employees by saying he thought Tumblr had the potential to "create the next generation PDF," according to multiple sources.

You're proving my fucking point, dumbass.

And how clever did the asshole who said "wait, what if we got BLACK people to voice the WHITE blood cells?" think he was?
Gabriel White
Obviously - IIRC he's a virus rather than a bacterium among other things.
Honestly, I never once considered the name thing...
Juan Bennett
one big question is where Thrax came from. was it the ape, the ground or from Frank's dirty hands?
Juan Hill
Was that the same guy who insisted that Kid Rock be in the movie?
Michael Ross
Probably the same guy that insisted on the live action scenes.
