New Zealand Fairy Tale[edit]

William Joyce[edit]

Are you guys sure the article about William Joyce the link points to is about a correct William Joyce? A fascist radio emcee that was executed a half a century ago wrote a book about Leaf Men? :-D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.0.148.227 (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coincidence[edit]

I think it should be noted that Mary Katherine is named after William Joyce's daughter. Wouldn't anyone agree? Visokor (talk) 10:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe she is named after her, but we need a source confirming that.--Carniolus (talk) 13:04, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Animation365 (talk) 14:00, 14 March 2022 (UTC)It's sad that Epic was removed from Disney+ on May 1, 2021 due to pre-existing contracts. Since then, it has been available on HBO Max until the last day to stream the movie on December 31, 2022 because the HBO deal with 20th Century runs out at the end of 2022 with Disney+ and Hulu assuming the full pay-one rights to the 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures films in the future. Epic will return to Disney+ on July 22, 2022 without pre-existing contracts.[reply]

What makes you say that? ZX2006XZ (talk) 11:49, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well however Epic returning to Disney+ was postponed and rescheduled for January 2023 after the HBO Max removed the movie due to HBO's deal with 20th Century Studios running out at the end of 2022. Animation674 (talk) 04:26, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
