In these strange times of coronavirus COVID-19, the Saturday Mourning Cartoons team has turned to a pair of animated pathogen-fighting heroes, 'Ozzy & Drix'! But just who are the title characters?

The Saturday Mourning Cartoons team reviews Sonic the Hedgehog this weekend. No, not the new CG/live-action hybrid movie, the 1993 animated series. No, not *that* one either, the other one.

During our interview with 'Missing Link' Production Designer Nelson Lowry, he teased the next movie from #LAIKA, saying, "the next film is so different, fundamentally different, from the things we've done and really takes everything we've learned and just doubles down on them and showcases these new technologies that we're getting pretty good at. So, it's not just bigger and better, it's more clever use of, and it's just going to open up, I think, the vision for the studio in a way that people will
