Undisputed Attitude is the seventh studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer. The album consists almost entirely of punk rock / hardcore punk cover songs. Also included are two songs written by guitarist Jeff Hanneman in 1984 and 1985 for a side project called Pap Smear, and the closing track, Gemini, the only Slayer original on the record. The cover songs on the album were originally recorded by the bands Minor Threat, T.S.O.L., D.R.I., D.I., Dr. Know, The Stooges and Verbal Abuse, whose work was prominently featured with the inclusion of cover versions of five of their songs. A video was also released of Slayer's version of the song "I Hate You" by Verbal Abuse. Released on May 28, 1996 through American Recordings, Undisputed Attitude peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Recording
Undisputed Attitude was recorded at Capital Studios in Los Angeles, California with producer Dave Sardy, while Reign in Blood producer Rick Rubin served as executive producer. Recorded in three to four weeks, the album was largely the brainchild of guitarist Kerry King, who stated that the songs chosen were from highly influential bands who "made Slayer what it is". The album was initially to feature material from classic heavy metal artists such as Judas Priest, UFO, and Deep Purple. However, after several rehearsals "things didn't pan out" according to King, so the band instead elected to cover punk songs.
Raggedy Ann is a character created by American writer Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938) in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children. Raggedy Ann is a rag doll with red yarn for hair and has a triangle nose. Johnny Gruelle received US Patent D47789 for his Raggedy Ann doll on September 7, 1915. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book Raggedy Ann Stories. When a doll was marketed with the book, the concept had great success. A sequel, Raggedy Andy Stories (1920), introduced the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy, dressed in sailor suit and hat.
History
Origins
Johnny Gruelle biographer and Raggedy Ann historian Patricia Hall notes that the dolls have
Hall notes that according to oft-repeated myth, Gruelle's daughter Marcella brought from her grandmother's attic a faceless doll on which the artist drew a face, and that Gruelle suggested that Marcella's grandmother sew a shoe button for a missing eye. He then combined the names of two James Whitcomb Riley poems, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphant Annie" and suggested calling the doll Raggedy Ann. Hall says the date of this supposed occurrence is given as early as 1900 and as late as 1914, with the locale variously given as suburban Indianapolis, Indiana, downtown Cleveland, Ohio, or rural Connecticut. In reality, as Gruelle's wife Myrtle told Hall, it was Gruelle who retrieved a long-forgotten, homemade rag doll from the attic of his parents' Indianapolis home sometime around the turn of the 20th century. As Myrtle Gruelle recalled, "There was something he wanted from the attic. While he was rummaging around for it, he found an old rag doll his mother had made for his sister. He said then that the doll would make a good story."
Raggedy Ann (aka Rag Dolly) is a musical with a book by William Gibson and music and lyrics by Joe Raposo, based on the children’s books by Johnny Gruelle and the feature film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure. The story centers on Marcella, a dying young girl whose toys come to life and take her on a magical adventure to meet The Doll Doctor, who can mend her broken heart.

In the wake of the successful animated feature releases by Walt Disney (Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs) and Max Fleischer (Gulliver’s Travels) in 1937 and 1939, respectively, Paramount immediately authorized the production a pair of extra-length two-reel cartoon subjects from Fleischer Studios. The first one, released in April 1941, was produced at Fleischer’s lavish new animation studio in Miami, Florida, where the production of Gulliver’s Travels took place, alongside the popular Popeye shorts and pre-production on their second feature, Mr. Bug Goes To Town (1941).

The Media Wiz Reviews... Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure
As requested by Jasmine Bryant, Media Wiz looks at Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, a very trippy animated musical showcase from the late 70s. Made by the late great visionary, Richard Williams, comes another one of his movies that had a troubled production and the movie came out essentially unfinished. But how exactly do you make a full length movie about a frilly pair of rag dolls?

Editing notes: The reels were transferred by Helge Bernhardt using a Blackmagic Cintel Gen2. This eliminated most black dirt from the transfer, leaving mainly white emulsion scratches as "snow."
Phoenix digital dirt removal processes were then run on the first four minutes of Reel One by Helge Bernhardt, up to and including the opening credits. This was very effective and I hoped we would do more of this, but other projects got in the way.
The transfer, as expected, gets dirtier at the beginning and end of reels, and one or two minutes of footage was isolated around reel changes for further work, much of it done by hand in Photoshop by Garrett Gilchrist, including the removal of reel markers, splices, and heavy damage around the actual reel changes.
Hundreds of frames were cleaned by hand, with sixteen minutes of the film originally targeted for cleanup, and then the entirety of Reel One and the closing credits for a total of thirty minutes.
Automatic work was also done via PFClean. However, PFClean was unable to handle changes on "ones" (including special effects like the flickering when the Captain sings 'You're My Friend'). Phoenix would almost certainly have done a better job with this material. Garrett analyzed the automatic PFClean work frame by frame, to remove sections with faster movement where the line work would be damaged.
Garrett then did further work frame by frame in Photoshop, which took several months of by-hand restoration work, and occasionally shot stabilization in After Effects.
Reel One was considered the most problematic. We have scanned about four different prints of reel one, and all are dirty and missing some footage. While I was impressed by our "A-Print" Reel One scan, an alternate Reel One scan was also done by Helge, with thanks to someone who does not want to be credited.
While the previous scan was darker and bluer, this scan was brighter, more contrasty and more yellow, losing some highlight detail and clarity. It was also a much dirtier scan. FemBoyFilms handled Phoenix digital dirt removal processes on this version of Reel One, in full.
The cleaned-up result was good, but since this scan is considered lower quality, it is only used briefly in this edit. It's used for the 20th Century Fox logo (with heavy cleanup by Garrett Gilchrist), briefly as Marcella shakes the snowglobe, and as Marcella closes the roof of her dollhouse. It is also used for color during the live action segments in the first two minutes of the film, for richer yellow and green tones.
Sound used here is from the prints as scanned. It is possible that previous scans of this film are superior in that regard, but that's a matter of taste and hard to pin down. (That would include the retail VHS, the KA scan, the PD Rag Doll Blu Ray/35mm leak ... I forget which we used on the 2007 DVD.)
Investigations into the copyright status of this film revealed that the necessary paperwork is now lost or unavailable. A large company like Disney, which owns FOX now, or Paramount, which owns CBS now, could probably paper over those gaps to release the film. Smaller companies we've spoken to couldn't figure it out. ITT, which produced the film, was heavily associated with the US government. It was something of a scandal at the time. So some have argued that the film could be considered in the public domain, saying it would at least partially belong to the people of the US, save the various licenses (Gruelle family and Joe Raposo).
I don't know whether I would personally take the risk and argue that, but that is certainly an argument that someone could make.

Based on the classic books by Johnny Gruelle, Fleischer fashioned Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy as a musical taking place in the imagination of a little girl. The studio changed the relationship of Ann and Andy from brother and sister to boyfriend and girlfriend to give the story more drama. The book’s popular Camel with the Wrinkled Knees makes an appearance, voiced by Pinto Colvig (better known as Disney’s Goofy). Al J. Neiburg, Dave Fleischer and Sammy Timberg wrote four catchy original songs. It’s a delightful film — and the Paramount animation department (known after 1942 as Famous Studios) made two sequels in 1944 and 1947.
—Jerry Beck, animation historian. More on our blog: ucla.in/3XsJBqk
Note: This short was restored photochemically and meant to be shown with a 1.37:1 Academy aspect ratio, matted in projection and with additional masking in the theater. This digitization of the restoration is shown in true 1.37:1 which means more information is visible at the top of the screen than would traditionally be seen in the theater. Although not accurate to how it would be projected, this does give us a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the animation process, primarily in the panning sequence beginning at 9:10.

Although not accurate to how it would be projected, this does give us a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the animation process, primarily in the panning sequence beginning at 9:10.
In today's video I'm talking about the dark history of the classic Raggedy Ann dolls...

Characters: Raggedy Ann and Andy-A Musical Adventure
That's all folks!! ^^
As requested by Jasmine Bryant, Media Wiz looks at Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, a very trippy animated musical showcase from the late 70s. Made by the late great visionary, Richard Williams, comes another one of his movies that had a troubled production and the movie came out essentially unfinished. But how exactly do you make a full length movie about a frilly pair of rag dolls?
These hand me downs I am wearing Are worn at the knees, color faded...yeah All the little children are laughing. I'm trying to find a reason to keep from cryin'...yeah I'm just a little girl, I'm Rageddy Ann Making Believe I'm happy, hey...Rageddy Ann Falling apart at the seams. The tears that I covered with patches Red & yellow paterns left in old matches, yeah Where I have them sewn with black stiches are made exposed to be soiled and tattered, hey. I'm just a little girl I'm Rageddy Ann Making believe I'm happy, hey...Rageddy Ann Falling apart at the seams... So when did I get so broken? I wouldn't notice... Everything just breaks away from me. Hey! When did I get so broken? I wouldn't notice... Everything important leaving me. Falling apart at the seams. All the busy people keep walking away Cause they can't see me...anything...yeah. Everyday it gets a little harder to believe in magic & people, yeah. I'm just a little girl I'm Rageddy Ann Making believe I'm happy, yeah...Rageddy Ann. Falling apart at the seams.
