FUR’S GONNA FLY!

March 12th, 2013 by Ange | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in Screen |

We rate a good ‘toon that puts their own spin on a classic story. Nutty dudes Tom and Jerry have twisted the tale of Robin Hood so that Jerry’s part of Robin Hood’s crew and Tom’s a squire to Maid Marian.

The plot thickens though ‘cos Tom’s also a secret spy for the Sheriff of Nottingham and evil Prince John. Something tells us that arrows won’t be the only thing flying in this flick…

Catch all the action in Tom and Jerry: Robin Hood and his Merry Mouse. It’s out on DVD on March 27!

Booyakasha!

TMNT have taken over Sydney! Larger than life balloon sculptures of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo were created by Matthew Falloon to celebrate the release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rise of the Turtle DVD, which is out today.

How AWSM do they look, YAKS? They’re five metres tall and took two days to build. We reckon it’s a rad effort ‘cos they totez look like the dudes! We dig that they even have weapons.

They’re on display for today only, so if you’re a Sydney MANIAC, head over to Darling Quarter (1 Harbour St, Sydney – between the two CBA Buildings), between 9:30am-5:30pm. Matthew will also be there showing off his balloon artistry and even making mini TMNT and balloon weapons!

David Attenborough’s Africa

January 25th, 2013 by Dom | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in AWSM |

Every Saturday night David Attenborough’s documentaries take us on a journey to meet some of the world’s most incredible wildlife! The camera work is amazing, capturing animals in the most incredible action and the D MAN always leaves us fascinated by all the tantalising facts he knows.

The next installment coming our way is David Attenborough’s Africa, which kicks off Saturday February 16 at 6:30pm. Africa will entertain us every Saturday night for seven weeks, taking us on a journey through 27 different countries! We can’t wait to see what amazing animals we encounter along the way! Before you watch it though, check out these amazing facts about how it was made!

A cameraman was stuck up a tree for 4 hours with an elephant trying to shake him out of it!

A venomous snake found its way up the trouser leg of a cameraman in Congo!

A ‘death-stalker’ scorpion was found hiding in a crew tent in Egypt!

Two minefields were unwittingly strayed into by crew (Egypt and Mozambique)!

Enjoy the series! If you like what you see, you could draw one of the animals and send it in to MANIA HQ. Your pic could make it into our Right2Write readers’ galleries! Send your pics and a photo to mania@nextmedia.com.au telling us about your favourite animal! Get drawing, YAKS!
