I'm the perpetrator of this site and maintainer of the forum. I was born in 1952, and I'm a working woman with a love of animals and animation. I also love movies, reading, and writing (I've had a short story published!). If you want to know any more, go to my home page, Dragonfare.
Favorite animated stuff? Mulan, Secret of NIMH, Princess Mononoke, Lady and the Tramp, The Little Mermaid, Cowboy Bebop, Slayers, Rurouni Kenshin.... I could go on and on and on.
Favorite animated character? I love them all, or this site wouldn't exist! But my obsession is Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop, with Seijuro Hiko of Rurouni Kenshin a close second.

I've been a fan of animation since age 6, but I've been drawing ever since I remember myself. I started seriously studying arts about three years ago, and I've been drawing and sketching nonstop since. I hope to be an animator in the future, but will happily go for anything that has anything to do with drawing and designing.

Favorite Animated movie: The Iron Giant

I'm 17, a senior in HS, and I love doing art. (I'm working on an art homepage here but it's just started). I got interested in animation after I saw Lion King, and now I'm juggling between animation and illustration. I can't decide!

Born: March 13, 1983 (the same day as Donald Duck, beat that! ;-))
Lives: Southern Sweden
Interests: Disney, music, singing, writing, drawing, painting

I've always been interested in animation (Disney) but it wasn't until I saw The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1996 that I got really fanatic. I am definitely sure that nothing will ever beat out the good, old HoND...

However, I have other favorites as well. Tarzan, Atlantis, Aladdin, Pocahontas, The Emperor's New Groove and Hercules are some of them. My favorite character is of course Quasimodo (as if you couldn't tell from my name) but I also like Tarzan, Clopin, Genie, Hercules, Kronk, Helga and Hades.

What I don't like is anime. I simply don't see what's so great about it. :-P

The pictures above are of my two loves in life - Quasimodo and my boyfriend Micke. Cute, aren't they?

I am a member of the University of Miami Biology Department Faculty (Yep, that means I have a Phud). But mainly an animation fanatic. That's more important, after all.

Age: college student age ;-)
I'm from the edge of the multiverse...

I am a deranged college student, busy and quiet most of the time, rambling and long winded when I'm not. If I ignore posts it's not because I want to be rude, just because I've chosen sleep over being online or my mind has temporarily wandered off and is unavailable for comment. I wish this wasn't the case as often as it is, but it probably will be that way until next spring when I hope to graduate. Oh..wait...was I supposed to put some physical descrip in here? I'm 5'5", average build I suppose, have shoulder length auburn hair and hazel/green eyes.

I'm a lurker by nature, partly because I've had more than a few unpleasant experiences on forums and I find myself apologizing for everything sooner or later, but I'm not unfriendly. If you have something to say to me just give a shout! I'll come out of my shell if someone wants to talk to me...

Interests? I have time for hobbies? I do art, but that's too much a part of who I am to be considered a hobby. It's just..what I do... I have interests in a few different fandoms online, I write occasionally, and role play a lot.

My interest in animation is career related. Ever since the first time I saw a piece of animation it's been something I wanted to do in some form. I'm still not sure how exactly I'll be involved in the industry, but honestly I have a thing against working for Disney... not against anyone else working for them mind you, it's just not what I want to do.

My favorite animated movie ~ I have to pick?!?!?

Websites: I have...two really... aSpire to Touch the Stars is my main site, and sooner or later I may ressurect the Mongolian Camp at another URL.

I have brown hair, light brown eyes, I wear contacts and sometimes glasses, :(they are soon getting expired): And I am pretty smart, I got the honor roll almost everytime but sometimes I don't because I'm kinda exited all the time and talk a little too much and then get N's, but my grades I get usually are A's and B's and mostly S's like only 1 N (

I am girl crazy! But girls only think I'm cute like a bunny or in that form so I don't have a girlfriend :(

I am an artist, currently working on trying to get better, by creating more of my own characters such as Rosa and Miranda. I am also working on writing stories and illustrating them.

My main animation interests are The Little Mermaid, Tarzan, PoE, and Anastasia. My favorite animated movie is Rugrats, and my favorite character is Ariel.

I am a person that has loved animation (notably Disney) since Cinderella. I watched that and The Little Mermaid on video daily. I believe I really really got into it around Hunchback/Hercules. My interests are animation (Matt points out the obvious), making web pages that are never successes, procrastinating.

My main interest in animation is Disney. Disney. My favorite animated movies are Tarzan, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, and my favorite characters are Cinderella and Maleficent.

About me: I'm 19, female and am now living in Holland with my boyfriend. I'm interested in drawing, movies, music, surfing the net, making websites and of course, animation. My favorite live action movies include The Crow, Dogma, The Matrix, Bram Stoker's Dracula and many others, those are just the top ones. I've always loved animation, especially Disney. My obsession in animation really began with Aladdin, after that it only grew bigger after I saw The Lion King, which is still my all-time favorite animated movie. I used to dream about becoming an animator, but I don't think I'd have the patiency nor skills for it. I'd rather work as an illustrator for Disney storybooks. Pretty unlikely, but hey, I can dream, right?

My favorite animated movies currently include: The Lion King, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Fantasia 2000, The Iron Giant, The Secret Of NIMH and Blood: The Last Vampire.

My favorite animated characters: The Spring Sprite (Fantasia 2000), Timon (The Lion King), Dean McCoppin (The Iron Giant), Tarzan and Kovu (Simba's Pride)

Age: 22
From Newport News, Virginia

I am a young college student currently studying biology. I might want to be a teacher or an ecologist; I'm not really sure what my goals are, however. I'm 5'10" and have dark brown hair. I have no means of putting a picture of myself online, yet, so you'll just have to go with that. My interests are writing, movies, cartoons, Disney, gaming, fantasy, Star Wars.

I like nothing better than to watch animated movies, certain cartoons, and certain live action movies. I also like role-playing games, both paper and video game kinds, and star fighter simulation games, but I'll play other games if they're stellar. I also like writing stories, both fanfiction and original works. I'm currently working on a fantasy called Darkphire. It's up to around 80+ pages now. I would like to see all of my old 80s cartoons come back to television or be released on video, especially The Mysterious Cities of Gold and Spartakus and the Sun beneath the Sea. I miss those cartoons. They were some of the best cartoons around.

My favorite animated movie is The Fox and the Hound, and my favorite character is Vixey.

I am a short (5"1) Black female. I have medium to long hair (depends on your opinion). I just graduated from high school and just even more recently turned 18.

I am a HUGE fan of animation! I have been ever since I was 8 and even thought about being an animator. But I knew my art skills were mediocre at best. But other than that, I'm interested in a lot of things. I love Broadway, but that was because of animation and the fabulous voices that are picked. I enjoy watching British comedies and I listen to Rush Limbaugh on occasion. I love to read and I play the piano. I guess that's all for now. As for my favorite animated movie, my list of non favorites is shorter than my love list. The same for my favorite animated character.

An old pic taken 5 years ago of me all sunburned after a day at the pool. :P	Taken 2 years ago at my graduation. Here I am all flushed and nervous with the stupidest crooked grin on my face. UGLY! :)

I am what you would call one of those "Passionate" people. When I like something, I LOVE it. Cartoons are my life, my reason for living. I want to get into the whole shebang myself. Cartoonists are such fun people! And so ingenious! I'm a voice chaser too. I go nuts over character voices. My heroes are Tex Avery (creater of Red Hot Riding Hood and others), Mel Blanc (voice of Bugs Bunny and every other old WB character), Rob Paulsen(voice of Yakko Warner), Jess Harnell(voice of Wakko Warner), Danny Elfman(music composer for Nightmare Before Christmas and Sang Jack's part too! *melting away*), Cab Calloway(the old Jazz singer.. the Hi-de-ho man!), and the list goes on!

The love of my (real live) life is studying to become a director(for live action movies). He and I are in constant debate over whether animation or live action is better. We are both equally stubborn with our opinions! One day, though, I'll get him to join us! ;)

My interests are: Cartoons, animation of any kind, comic books, movie soundtracks (I particularly love Danny Elfman), animals, Star Wars, video games, drawing, hiking, singing, the list goes on....

My animation interest is animation, period! I want to animate! I'm currently attending Savannah College of Art and Design studying good ol' 2-D animation. Also, I don't think anyone alive appreciates the old Warner Brothers masterpieces from the 40's like I do. They're BRILLIANT!!!!

Favorite animated movies: The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Thief and the Cobbler, Mulan, Cats Don't Dance, The Secret of NIMH, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Ranma 1/2, Fantasia 2000, Pokemon, All of Hayao Miyazaki's movies(he did Princess Mononoke, my dears!).. so on and so forth...
Favorite animated characters: James/Kojiro from Pokemon, Yakko Warner... aww heck, just check out my harem. It'll save me a few paragraphs

If anyone shares an interest with me, feel free to E-mail me! I'd love to hear the rantings and ponderings of a fellow toon! I look forward to getting to know all of you! :D

Age 16
From Kansas
I am short (five foot one inch) but I don't mind much. I have long very dark brown (almost black), green eyes, and freckles. I am outgoing, optimistic, hyper, and philosophical.

My interests: Animation! I love drawing particularly HonD characters and my fanfic characters Alemeda, Kaicey, and Vincent. I also love writing fanfic. Other obsessions of mine include Celine Dion, Loreena Mckennitt, Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, Michelle Kwan, figure skating in general, marine biology, and shhh... don't tell anyone but Christina Aguilera. HonD is my favorite movie! I also love to watch other movies, current non animated favorites include "The Sixth Sense" and "Ever After". I love to read. Current favorite books include "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "The Man Who Laughs", and "Night." Entertainment Weekly is my favorite magazine. And my fave show is the Simpsons.
My dream is to be an animator or marine biologist when I grow up. I want to work for Disney. I mostly only like Disney movies although I do like some non-Disney animated flicks like "The Last Unicorn". Hunchback is my favorite and it's what REALLY got me into animation. I love Quasimodo, I mean I LOVE him! He is so wonderfully sweet, adorable, compassionate, sensitive, aaah the perfect man. "Tarzan" is my second favorite Disney Movie.

Favorite animated movie: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Favorite animated characters, in order: QUASI, Esmeralda, Djali, Tarzan, and Jane Porter.

My website is Alemeda's HoND Gateway Featuring Esmeralda's Tent and Djali's Joint, soon to come my fanfic, fanart, and more... I also have a HoND RPG. We are always looking for new members. It is located at http://www.onelist.com/community/HoNDRPG

I'm a long time animation fan who dabbles in writing and art. I work full time in Activities in a nursing home and I love my job. I've been married for 25 years, have a teenage daughter and live on 51/2 acres in the country. I have two horses (an Arab mare and a minnie mare), two dogs, two cats, many chickens and a 5 ft iguana. With all that, I'm never bored!

I enjoy comics (you should see my silver age collection), selective vampire literature, scifi/fantasy, and of course, animation. I prefer western animation and enjoy animation made for television perhaps more than that of the big screen.

Favorite animated movie: At present, Godzilla: The Series
Favorite animated character: Dr. Mendel Craven from Godzilla. Gotta love this sweet, fussy guy!

I am quiet, reserved, and shy - until you get to know me (and I get to know you). Around my friends I'm rather obnoxious and very talkative. I might be described as flighty and scatterbrained a great deal of the time as well, though I can be serious and disciplined when the need arises. I'm interested in drawing, reading, a bit o' writing, surfing the web, lurking at comic shops, going on late-night McDonalds runs with my friends, singing, procrastinating, and of course sleeping. I'm currently majoring in psychology, and I'm fascinated by the human mind (particularly those minds obsessed with cartoons). I have a tendency to act before I think and to put my foot in my mouth, so if I seem to be acting like a dork, please don't take it personally. If I should get too out of line, a friendly slap upside the head should bring me around nicely. More than anything else, I'm glad to know that I'm not the first or only person to be so totally obsessed with a fictional character.

I wanted to work in animation at one point, but that dream has sorta fallen by the wayside. I still enjoy watching cartoons and animated films, though, and I have never stopped drawing.

Fave animated movie - The Lion King; fave animated TV show - The New Batman/Superman Adventures
Fave animated character - That's a tossup between Kovu and Jimmy Olsen.
