Cartoon Voices at San Diego Comic Con 2014
Voice Actors are sometimes the unsung heroes of the advertisement and entertainment industry.
When you hear a voice over in a TV commercial or the radio and a somebody is telling you to buy this product, that is a real person; and probably you have heard his\her voice in another commercial, TV spot, movie preview or while picking up your friend at the airport, you know: "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only, no parking".
That is somebody's voice!
This panel showcases real professionals of the industry and they show us their techniques, tricks and how they got their first job.

Hanna Barbera Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2014
You cannot talk about classic U.S. cartoons without talking about Hanna Barbera.
You cannot talks about Hanna Barbera without talking about The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, Wacky Races, etc.
Then, you have to bring true veterans of the animation industry like Willie Ito and Tony Benedict to talk about those early days when hand-made animation really meant hand-made and creating a new episode of a series a week was a true test of endurance and sanity.

Land of the Lost 40th Anniversary at DragonCon 2014
I never missed a Land of the Lost show when I was growing up, granted it was back in Guadalajara, and the show was translated to Spanish, but still I could not wait to see how this family will face off a new threat every week and emerge victorious.
The original stars of the show Wesley Eure as Will Marshall, Kathy Coleman as Holly Marshall and Philip Paley as Cha-Ka talk candidly about their experience on the show and life after it.

Bob's Burgers Panel at San Diego ComicCon 2014
After waiting almost 5 hours in the San Diego Summer sun, we just barely got into this panel. Seriously, Bob's Burger and Archer panels cannot fit anymore in the Indigo ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront.
Anyway, once again we got the creator and full cast of the series, except for Gene (Eugene Mirman) since it was his birthday (Happy Birthday!!), in this panel and it was loads of fun.
We got to see some exclusive content but pretty much it was a very animated Q&A session.

China Space Program Report at Dragon Con 2014
China is a pretty complex country.
It is one of the oldest civilization on the planet and with a population of 1.35 billion, it is the world's most populous country as well. It is governed by a single party communist system that closely controls and censors news outlets and social media; even so, it has his own stock exchange system, financial regulation, international trade systems and a space program.
Yes, China has a space program similar to the United State's NASA.
But with a political system that is overwhelmingly against any form of transparency, there are just few people that knows exactly what is going on over there.
Nick Eftimiades is one of those people and he gives us an introduction to China's Space Program during his panel.
