*New Site Additions*

Movieprop.com has launced a new site section; www.movieprop.com/anime/ anime and manga. Anime and Manga refer to comic books and animation of a Japanese origin. The section highlights the Robotech/Macross related sagas that are truly among the finest human tales ever conceived. Robotech is not a very well known animated TV saga but it has inspired much fanfare and enthusiasm for almost all that have seen it. Robotech was a seamless blending together of three unrelated animated TV shows into a single epic tale. Incredible editing and creative skill was required to do this. A robotech movie also was considered in 1985 and it too would have been composed of much editing and compiling. Robotech really does illustrate the art of fine film editing to a tea. In Macross or the first part of the Robotech saga an alien vessel crahslands on the Earth bringing a common union of all man forged in fear of future alien attack. And the aliens do come, as giants known as the Zentraedi, built as clones, and forged for war.

Rocky Balboa from the Rocky movies serves as more than just the proverbial sweat and grunt fighter. In movieprop.com's Rocky pages at www.movieprop.com/tvandmovie/Rocky/ detailed coverage of the Rocky saga, songs, and the legend is presented. Rocky was a film written by Sylvester Stalone in which he insisted on starring in even though he was offered more money for just the script leaving another actor playing the lead role. This gamble of insisting on starring in the movie himself launched his career and launched a legend.

Alien Nation pages have been updated with info about licensed and unlicensed merchandise, movie summaries and more www.movieprop.com/tvandmovie/AlienNation/

Additional prop and costume related message boards have been found since the last newsletter and added. Messagboads have info about Icons, scale model building, and other replica resources. Visit www.movieprop.com/othermessageboards.htm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Planned future site Additions (in development/in progress now)

The Production resources section of movieprop.com is being redesigned with new content planned
