Please note -- I am using this blog and project as an educational experience. I am not making money off of any part of my 2d/3d work for this film. I want to share my experiences openly via this blog, but I am aware that I am using the names of licensed characters to which I do not own the rights. I am also aware there are individuals out there in the digital ether that take ideas from other people and call them their own.
A quick google will tell you that the rights to the Care Bears are owned by Jay Foreman -- who purchased them (likely from American Greeting Cards) in 1999.
That being said -- while making no claims to the actual names of the characters, their likenesses and story have been changed sufficiently to become new intellectual property.
Without laying claim to the name "Braveheart Lion" (for example) the images, and story are all entirely my creation, and therefore copyrighted to James Austin.
This is supposed to be fun and I'm hoping to learn/practice a few things along the way. Hopefully we can keep things in this spirit throughout the whole process.
