Well, a lots been go'n down that I thought I should inform you guys about. Our Marlin videos are being taken down from YouTube because of a deal that fell through between YouTube and Warner Music Group:

From the YouTube Blog:

"We work with the music industry worldwide -- with major and independent labels and publishers, rights collecting societies, and with artists and songwriters directly -- to build user-friendly licensing arrangements. With these partners and our cutting-edge Content ID technology, we've created a win-win situation the likes of which never existed before YouTube: a system that gives artists a brand new revenue source and a great way to connect with their fans. That said, despite our constant efforts, it isn't always possible to maintain these innovative agreements. Sometimes, if we can't reach acceptable business terms, we must part ways with successful partners. For example, you may notice videos that contain music owned by Warner Music Group being blocked from the site."

So contrary to the last post I made, expect all the Marlin videos to go away for good on YouTube :( However, we're working on getting all of them up to our site. We will be updating the links on our video page as we get more of them up. New Marlins will begin as usual in February, and we will upload those to YouTube, the only difference is that we'll be using almost (if not all) original or royalty-free music so that this doesn't happen again. If you wish to see older Marlins, Seasons 1 & 2 are now on the Video Archive section of our website. Just scroll down and find the Marlin episode you cant to watch. Season 3 will be coming soon.

On a happier note, we pumped out a few new live-action movies: Horse's Horrid Hairdo and McJuice. Both have a heavy case of the randoms, so expect insanity. Please go watch them!
That's it for now!
