So if you've read my book, you know I'm a bit of a Disney buff. If I ever find myself with some extra time in LA, I try to swing down to Anaheim and at least wander through the giant "World of Disney" store at Downtown Disney. Finding myself in Orlando for a week, of […]

Okay, vacation is over for the Vischer family, and now it's time to get busy. Really busy.
I spent the last two days in Orlando at the International Christian Visual Media conference, where I spoke a few times and gave a bunch of Christian filmmakers a sneak peek at JellyTelly. Now we're hunkered down preparing for […]

Well… this is interesting! A story ran in the London Sunday Times yesterday claiming Entertainment Rights was considering selling off Big Idea. The story says new CEO Nick Phillips wants to reduce debt by "selling some of the less profitable areas of the group," implying, of course, that Big Idea is one of those "less […]

… for your dining pleasure. (And no, none of them involve Lego bricks or Duplo blocks or any other confusingly trademarked plaything.)

So we're off and running with the "make your own JellyTelly IDs" effort, and the results are promising. We're going to put a site together for posting and voting on this sort of thing (it's fun, so we think we'll make a habit of it). In the meantime, I wanted to show a few so […]

I'm watching some of the JellyTelly logo animations that are coming in and I'm having a blast. Some of these are really awesome. (Especially you guys that built the logo out of Legos… and you know who you are…) Not all of these will make the "network" of course, but some definitely will. We're going […]

Sorry about that! We were down for a day or two. Not sure what happened there… maybe cosmic rays… or gas prices… or all those emails from Christian marketers telling us to go see Prince Caspian.
