Tim,
Thanks for the news. I did see Penguins with my little girl, I loved it. It
was a nice break from the usual pace of shoot-em ups and mob violence, etc.
my little one sat thru most of it.

As for Grizzly, if you notice on the list from earlier conversations,
Spencer H. did the online for the theatrical (on the DS) and then I was
called in, when he wasn't available, to work on the DVD
modification/release. So yeah, I saw it. I think a lot more people should
have aspirations like timothy (the grizzly man) to do better, and be a
better person.

Werner is involved in a lot more than discovery docs, but that's another
discussion to be held at a different time, say May 2006.

Marc
