A Special Thanks goes out to Brandy Velez. Without her, I probably would never have seen the movie, or gotten so many scanned images. Because of her help, I was able to learn about this wonderful series/movie. Thank you so much Brandy for everything. I would also like to thanks my Literature teacher, Ms. Blanchard, for allowing me to make this page and receive a grade for it. Thank you!
