Praising the acting of the ensemble cast, he rated it with 3 stars out of 5. Taran Adarsh rated the film with 2 stars out of 5 and though he praised the star cast for their acting, he found the film "disappointing". Writing for "NDTV", Saibal Chatterjee praised Dixit and Bhatt for their screen presence and concluded her long review as, ""Kalank" has unmistakable contemporary resonance because it celebrates the transformative power of love and reconciliation in a time of rampant discord. It is worth a viewing not only for what it says, but also for how it says it." Writing for "The Indian Express", Shubhra Gupta gave it 1.5 star out of 5 and says, ""Kalank" doesn’t really lift off the screen. The whole feels like a giant set, stately and ponderous and minus impact; the characters all costumed and perfumed and largely life-less, sparking only in bits and pieces." Raja Sen writing for "Hindustan Times" rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and praised Dixit, Bhatt and Dhawan for shining in a "stunning, but soulless" film. He felt that "it is a stunningly plated meal, but needed more salt". He remarked "Directed by Abhishek Varman and shot by the masterful Binod Pradhan, the makers of "Kalank" not only want every frame to be a painting, but every dialogue, a proverb, every scene, a portent. The result is beautifu,l but tedious, an opera that needed a stout songstress to warble through it midway." Writing for the "Scroll.in", Nandini Ramnath noted out that the film glamorized the partition by replicating kitsch aesthetic, and added, "The sets, that are meant to enhance the big-screen experience, end up creating a distance from the messiness of the emotional conflicts." Anupama Chopra of "Film Companion" rated it with 3 stars out of 5 and opined ""Kalank" is likely to be the most visually stunning film of this year." She also remarked "The film is an operatic fantasy filled with staggering sets, swirling fabric and heartache, but to enjoy it, you must wholly suspend disbelief." "Times Of India" rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and called it "a visually stunning film topped with great performances." "News 18" rated the film 3 stars out of 5.

Their struggle to make ends meet and stave off homelessness takes place in an environment dominated by the nearby Walt Disney World, which was code named "The Florida Project" during its early planning stages.

title: The Florida Project

text: Six-year-old Moonee lives with her young single mother Halley at Magic Castle Inn & Suites, a budget motel in Kissimmee, Florida, near Walt Disney World. She spends most of her summer days unsupervised and making mischief with her downstairs neighbor Scooty, who Halley is supposed to watch while his mother works at a diner, and Dicky, who lives at the nearby Futureland Inn. After Stacy, a new resident at Futureland, catches the trio spitting on her car, Dicky is grounded for a week, and Moonee and Scooty meet and befriend Stacy's granddaughter Jancey, who lives with Stacy, when Stacy makes them clean up their mess.


title: The Florida Project

text: Halley recently lost her job as an exotic dancer, which affects her eligibility for TANF benefits, and she relies on food that Scooty's mother, her friend Ashley, gets from work. Moonee and Scooty show Jancey around and teach her things like how to get free ice cream by begging and where to get the best view of a woman who sunbathes topless by Magic Castle's pool. The children regularly inconvenience Bobby, the manager of Magic Castle, such as when they shut off the motel's power, but he remains protective of them.


title: The Florida Project

text: The similarity of Magic Castle's name to Disney World's Magic Kingdom occasionally causes wealthy people to accidentally book rooms, but most of the residents do not have much money, and a church regularly delivers donated food. Halley avoids becoming homeless by beginning to sell knockoff perfume to tourists in the parking lots of nice hotels. Bobby's duties at Magic Castle include preparing expense reports, ejecting drug dealers, and doing repairs, and he sometimes enlists the help of his son, with whom he has a tenuous relationship. One day, while painting, he notices a strange man hanging around a group of children and ejects him from the property.


title: The Florida Project

text: Scooty finds a lighter in a box that Dicky's family left behind when they moved away, and he, Moonee, and Jancey accidentally start a fire at an abandoned condominium complex. Ashley gets the truth out of him, after which she forbids him from hanging out with Moonee or Jancey and stops talking to Halley. When Halley learns this, she goes to the diner where Ashley works and makes a scene. Moonee and Jancey continue to play together and become best friends.


title: The Florida Project

text: Without the free food from Ashley, and with security guards beginning to bother her at the hotels, Halley's financial situation declines even further. When she and Moonee move out of Magic Castle for the mandated 24 hours that month, they discover new owners at the motel they usually go to have raised the rates, so they instead spend the night with Stacey. Aware of this, Bobby is suspicious when Halley finally pays for her room, and it turns out she has begun to solicit sex work online, keeping Moonee in the bathroom with loud music when she has a client. She steals a client's Disney World resort passes to scalp them, and the man returns to demand them back. Bobby scares him off, but says Halley's guests now have to check in at the front desk. Desperate, she apologizes to Ashley for whatever Moonee did and asks for help with rent, but Ashley says Halley should have plenty of money, since she is prostituting herself. In front of Scooty, Halley punches Ashley in the face repeatedly and storms off.


title: The Florida Project

text: Investigators from the DCF show up and question Halley and Moonee separately about their lifestyle. Halley has Moonee help clean their room and gives away her weed in anticipation of another visit. They go to a fancy hotel and have an extravagant meal, which Halley charges to a guest's room, and when they return to Magic Castle, the investigators, having found evidence Halley is doing sex work, are waiting with two police officers to take Moonee into foster care while they finish their inquiry. Not really understanding what is happening, Moonee asks to say goodbye to Scooty, who lets slip that she is going to a new family. She becomes agitated and runs away to bid Jancey goodbye, and Jancey, seeing her friend's distress, grabs Mooney's hand and escapes with her to Magic Kingdom.


title: The Florida Project

text: The film stemmed from writer Chris Bergoch noticing a lot of children playing in motel parking lots while visiting his mother in Orlando, Florida. For his part, Sean Baker has said he has always been inspired by the "Our Gang" films, because the characters "were actually living in poverty, but the focus was the joy of childhood, the humor that comes from watching and hearing children."


title: The Florida Project

text: In December 2017, producer Andrew Duncan stepped down from his role as financier of June Pictures after numerous allegations of sexual harassment. Baker stated, in part: "While we did not witness nor have any knowledge of inappropriate behavior, we are of course deeply concerned about these allegations. I have been outspoken before and firmly believe that film sets and work environments absolutely must be safe spaces for everyone regardless of gender, age, race, or creed."


title: The Florida Project

text: "The Florida Project" was filmed in the summer of 2016 on location in Osceola County, Florida, including at the real Magic Castle Inn & Suites located on U.S. Highway 192 in Kissimmee, which is nearly six miles from Walt Disney World.


title: The Florida Project

text: Unlike Baker's previous film, which was shot with an iPhone, "The Florida Project" was filmed using 35mm film, except for the final scene, which was shot without authorization in Disney World's Magic Kingdom park using an iPhone 6S Plus. To maintain secrecy, the shoot at the resort used a skeleton crew consisting of Baker, Bergoch, cinematographer Alexis Zabe, acting coach Samantha Quan, actors Valeria Cotto and Brooklynn Prince, and the girls' guardians. Baker intended the ending to be open to audience interpretation: "We've been watching Moonee use her imagination and wonderment throughout the entire film to make the best of the situation she's in—she can't go to Disney's Animal Kingdom, so she goes to the 'safari' behind the motel and looks at cows; she goes to the abandoned condos because she can't go to the Haunted Mansion. And in the end, with this inevitable drama, this is me saying to the audience, if you want a happy ending, you're gonna have to go to that headspace of a kid because, here, that's the only way to achieve it."


title: The Florida Project

text: The film had its world premiere on May 22, 2017, in the Directors Fortnight section of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, and A24 acquired the U.S. distribution rights shortly thereafter. Its limited theatrical release in the U.S. began on October 6, 2017. Lionsgate released the film on Blu-ray, DVD, and download.

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it has an approval rating of 96% based on 320 reviews, with a weighted average score of 8.8/10; the site's "critics consensus" reads: ""The Florida Project" offers a colorfully empathetic look at an underrepresented part of the population that proves absorbing even as it raises sobering questions about modern America." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 92 out of 100 based on reviews from 44 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".


title: The Florida Project

text: Ann Hornaday of "The Washington Post" wrote that "Dafoe delivers his finest performance in recent memory, bringing to levelheaded, unsanctimonious life a character who offers a glimmer of hope and caring within a world markedly short on both." Richard Roeper of the "Chicago Sun-Times" wrote: "It's film that'll make you wince at times, and you'll most likely not want to see twice, but seeing it once is an experience you'll not soon forget." However, Cassie da Costa of "Film Comment" criticized the film, writing: "Baker crudely renders his marginalized subjects because while he can imagine their daily realities he cannot fully fathom their inner lives."

He received wide attention for his role as the psychopathic soldier Bunny in the 1986 film "Platoon." In 1988, he portrayed Brian Flagg in a remake of the 1958 American science fiction film "The Blob". It received mixed reviews but was praised for its special effects and has since gained a cult following. Other notable film roles from that period included "War Party" (1988), "No Escape" (1994), and "The Doors" (1991) in which he played drummer John Densmore.

title: Johnnie Walker

text: Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scotch whisky now owned by Diageo that originated in the Scottish burgh of Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire. The brand was first established by grocer John Walker. It is the most widely distributed brand of blended Scotch whisky in the world, sold in almost every country, with annual sales of the equivalent of over 223.7 million 700 ml bottles in 2016 (156.6 million litres).


title: Johnnie Walker

text: John Walker was born on 25 July 1805. His farmer father died in 1819, and the family sold the farm. Their trustees invested the proceeds, £417, in an Italian warehouse, grocery, and wine and spirits shop on the High Street in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. Walker managed the grocery, wine, and spirits segment as a teenager in 1820. The Excise Act of 1823 relaxed strict laws on distillation of whisky and reduced, by a considerable amount, the extremely heavy taxes on the distillation and sale of whisky. By 1825, Walker, a teetotaller, was selling spirits, including rum, brandy, gin, and whisky.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In short order, he switched to dealing mainly in whisky. Since blending of grain whiskies with malt whiskies was still banned, he sold both blended malt whiskies and grain whiskies. They were sold as made-to-order whiskies, blended to meet specific customer requirements, because he did not have any brand of his own. He began using his name on labels years later, selling a blended malt as "Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky". John Walker died in 1857.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: The brand became popular, but after Walker's death it was his son Alexander ‘Alec’ Walker and grandson Alexander Walker II who were largely responsible for establishing the whisky as a favoured brand. The Spirits Act of 1860 legalised the blending of grain whiskies with malt whiskies and ushered in the modern era of blended Scotch whisky. Blended Scotch whisky, lighter and sweeter in character, was more accessible, and much more marketable to a wider audience. Andrew Usher of Edinburgh, was the first to produce a blended whisky, but the Walkers followed in due course.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: Alexander Walker had introduced the brand's signature square bottle in 1860. This meant more bottles fitting the same space and fewer broken bottles. The other identifying characteristic of the Johnnie Walker bottle was – and still is – the label, which, since that year, is applied at an angle of 24 degrees upwards left to right and allows text to be made larger and more visible. This also allowed consumers to identify it at a distance. One major factor in his favour was the arrival of a railway in Kilmarnock, carrying goods to merchant ships travelling the world. Thanks to Alec's business acumen, sales of Walker's Kilmarnock reached 100,000 gallons (450,000 litres) per year by 1862.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In 1865, Alec created Johnnie Walker's first commercial blend and called it "Old Highland Whisky", before registering it as such in 1867.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: Under John Walker, whisky sales represented eight percent of the firm's income; by the time Alexander was ready to pass on the company to his own sons, that figure had increased to between 90 and 95 percent.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In 1893, Cardhu distillery was purchased by the Walkers to reinforce the stocks of one of the Johnnie Walker blends' key malt whiskies. This move took the Cardhu single malt out of the market and made it the exclusive preserve of the Walkers. Cardhu's output was to become the heart of the "Old Highland Whisky" and, subsequent to the rebranding of 1909, the prime single malt in Johnnie Walker Red and Black Labels.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: From 1906 to 1909, John's grandsons George and Alexander II expanded the line and had three blended whiskies in the market, "Old Highland" at 5 years old, "Special Old Highland" at 9 years old, and "Extra Special Old Highland" at 12 years old. These three brands had the standard Johnnie Walker labels, the only difference being their colours: white, red, and black respectively. They were commonly referred to in public by the colours of their labels. In 1909, as part of a rebranding that saw the introduction of the Striding Man, a mascot used to the present day that was created by cartoonist Tom Browne, the company re-branded their blends to match the common colour names. The Old Highland was renamed "Johnnie Walker White Label", and made a 6 year old, the Special Old Highland became "Johnnie Walker Red Label" at 10 years old, and "Extra Special Old Highland" was renamed "Johnnie Walker Black Label", remaining 12 years old.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: Sensing an opportunity to expand the scale and variety of their brands, Walker acquired interests in Coleburn Distillery in 1915, quickly followed by Clynelish Distillery Co. and Dailuaine-Talisker Co. in 1916. This ensured a steady supply of single-malt whisky from the Cardhu, Coleburn, Clynelish, Talisker, and Dailuaine distilleries. In 1923, Walker bought Mortlach distillery, in furtherance of their strategy. Most of their output was used in Johnnie Walker blends, whose burgeoning popularity required increasingly vast volumes of single malts.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: Johnnie Walker White was dropped during World War I. In 1932, Alexander II added "Johnnie Walker Swing" to the line, the name originating from the unusual shape of the bottle, which allowed it to rock back and forth.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: The company joined Distillers Company in 1925. Distillers Company was acquired by Guinness in 1986, and Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo in 1997. That year saw the introduction of the blended malt, Johnnie Walker Pure Malt, renamed as Johnnie Walker Green Label in 2004.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In July 2009, the brand's current owners, Diageo, decided to close all operations in Kilmarnock by 2012. This met with backlash from local people, local politicians, and then-First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond. Despite petitions, public campaigns, and a large-scale march around Kilmarnock, Diageo proceeded with the closure. The Johnnie Walker plant in Kilmarnock closed its doors in March 2012 and the buildings were subsequently demolished a year later.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In July 2020, Johnnie Walker announced plans to release a new environmentally-friendly paper bottle set to debut in early 2021.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In October 2021, Johnnie Walker announced a new label, "Jane Walker", created by the distillery's first female master blender.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: For most of its history Johnnie Walker only offered a few blends. Since the turn of the century, there has been a spate of special and limited bottlings.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: The Walkers created their primary marketing strategy in 1908 with advertisements featuring Browne's Striding Man, using the slogan, "Johnnie Walker: Born 1820, still going strong". Photographs replaced the drawings in the 1930s, and the Striding Man was miniaturised to a coloured logo in 1939; it first appeared on the Johnnie Walker labels in 1960. In the late 1990s, the direction of the Striding Man was reversed as part of a "Keep Walking" campaign. The Striding Man icon was most recently redrawn in 2015.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In 2009, the advertising agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) created a new short film, starring Robert Carlyle and directed by Jamie Rafn, titled "The Man Who Walked Around the World", which outlined the history of the Johnnie Walker brand.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In April 2015, Diageo produced the Johnny Drama, named after the Entourage HBO series character Johnny "Drama" Chase, to promote the release of the movie version of Entourage.


title: Johnnie Walker

text: In October 2018, Diageo teamed with HBO to produce "White Walker by Johnnie Walker" whisky, inspired by the army of the undead in the TV series "Game of Thrones" as part of the marketing for the series' final season. Diageo then released a collection of "Game of Thrones"–inspired single malt whiskies, followed by two more whiskies by Johnnie Walker in mid-2019.

title: Johnny Bravo

text: Johnny Bravo is an American animated television series created by Van Partible for Cartoon Network and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution. It is the second of the network's Cartoon Cartoons, which aired from July 14, 1997, to August 27, 2004. The titular Johnny Bravo (voiced by Jeff Bennett), who is loosely based on Elvis Presley and James Dean, is a sunglasses-wearing, muscular young man who lives with his mother and attempts to get women to date him, though he always falls short because of his actions. He ends up in bizarre situations and predicaments, often accompanied by celebrity guest characters such as Donny Osmond or Adam West. Throughout its run, the show was known for its adult humor and pop culture references.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: Partible pitched the series to Hanna-Barbera's animation showcase "What a Cartoon!", basing it on his senior thesis project he produced while attending Loyola Marymount University. A pilot short aired on Cartoon Network in 1995. The series was renewed for a second season in 1999, during which Partible left, and the show was retooled under the direction of Kirk Tingblad. In 2003, for the series' fourth season, Partible returned and restored the show to its original format and style. In its four seasons, a total of 67 episodes have aired. The first three seasons were produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, while the fourth season was produced by Cartoon Network Studios.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: "Johnny Bravo" was nominated for four Annie Awards, one YoungStar Award, and two Golden Reel Awards. The series helped launch the careers of several animators, including Seth MacFarlane and Butch Hartman. Spin-off media include comic books, DVD and VHS releases, collectible toys, T-shirts with Johnny's well known phrase "Yooo Mama", and video games.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The series centers on Johnny Bravo (voiced by Jeff Bennett), a sunglasses-wearing, muscular, conceited narcissist and dimwitted self-proclaimed womanizer with a pompadour and an Elvis Presley-esque voice, apparently of Italian heritage, who lives in Aron City (a nod to Presley's middle name). Episodes typically revolve around him trying to get a woman to go on a date with him, though his advances are usually rejected and result in the woman in question harming him in a comedic way due to his boorish manner. Johnny's companions are Bunny "Momma" Bravo (Brenda Vaccaro), his lively, caring, extroverted, equally dimwitted mother, who also wears sunglasses; Little Suzy (Mae Whitman), a talkative and intelligent little girl from the neighborhood who likes to annoy Johnny, although he rarely remembers her name; Carl Chryniszzswics (Tom Kenny), a geek who idolizes Johnny despite being bullied and bossed around by him; and Pops (Larry Drake), the unscrupulous owner of the local diner who provides advice to Johnny, along with food made from atypical ingredients.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: Recurring characters include Master Hamma (Brian Tochi), a Japanese martial arts instructor who teaches Johnny but never considers him a student due to being the weakest and most pathetic student in the dojo; Donny Osmond (himself), a cheery and optimistic teen idol who irritates Johnny; and Jungle Boy (Cody Dorkin), a jungle-dwelling feral child with super strength and the ability to speak to animals.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: Much of the series' humor is derived from celebrity guest star appearances and references to popular culture. For example, an episode in season 1 is based around homages to "The Twilight Zone", and in another episode, one of the Village People can be seen in the background. The series has had numerous guest stars, including Adam West, Shaquille O'Neal, Seth Green and the aforementioned Donny Osmond. In the first season, creator Van Partible intended for the show's middle segment to be a form of "Johnny Bravo Meets...", a parody of "The New Scooby-Doo Movies", which would feature appearances from popular 1970s icons, but guest stars were used informally after the second season began. Many Hanna-Barbera characters had cameo appearances in the series, including the cast of "Scooby-Doo", Speed Buggy, Jabberjaw, Fred Flintstone, Yogi Bear, The Blue Falcon, Black Widow, and Huckleberry Hound.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: Adult humor is a frequent presence. In one episode, when Suzy calls Johnny to ask if he wants to come over, Johnny nonchalantly tells her to "[call] back in 15 years when [she is] a co-ed.", and in another, when Johnny is hit by a tranquilizer dart and is informed he has only "6 seconds of consciousness left" and to "use it wisely", he immediately pulls out a Girlie Magazine.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: In regard to the adult humor, Hartman stated "...being concerned with the content of the episodes wasn't our main focus", and creator Partible remembers that "No one was really watching Cartoon Network [...] As far as content, they were pretty lenient on all the kind of things that were going on."


title: Johnny Bravo

text: While attending Loyola Marymount University, Van Partible produced his senior thesis project "Mess O' Blues" (1993), an animated short film about an Elvis Presley impersonator. Partible's animation professor showed the film to a friend who worked for Hanna-Barbera, and the studio loved the film. They asked Partible to develop it into a pitch for a seven-minute short, prompting him to sell the project to Hanna-Barbera.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: For the new short, Partible revised his main character from "Mess O' Blues", renaming him "Johnny Bravo" and making him "this '50s iconic James Dean-looking character that talked like Elvis." He was also inspired by Michael Jackson's "impetus for using whip snaps and cracks" (like in "Captain EO") for whenever Johnny striked a pose. Voice actor Jeff Bennett was cast as Johnny, based solely on his young, hyped Elvis impression. Partible, with a small team of animators, animated the short themselves in-house at Hanna-Barbera using digital ink and paint.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The short, titled "Johnny Bravo", was aired on Cartoon Network's animation showcase, "World Premiere Toons", on March 26, 1995. Two more shorts followed: "Jungle Boy in "Mr. Monkeyman"" in 1996 and "Johnny Bravo and the Amazon Women" in 1997.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The name Johnny Bravo derived from creator Van Partible's middle name, Giovanni Bravo, as Giovanni is an Italian name for John or Johnny, or possibly from an alias given to Greg Brady in "The Brady Bunch" episode "Adios Johnny Bravo". His movements are entirely based on Michael Jackson and the "Happy Days" character Arthur Fonzerelli. Johnny's personality is also similar to Gaston from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The popularity of the shorts led to Cartoon Network commissioning a first season of "Johnny Bravo", consisting of 13 episodes. The crew of the first season consisted of several writers, animators, and directors from "World Premiere Toons", including Seth MacFarlane, Butch Hartman, Steve Marmel, and John McIntyre. Veteran animator Joseph Barbera also served as a creative consultant and mentor for the first season. Partible stated in a 1997 interview the goal of the series was to have "animation reminiscent of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons".


title: Johnny Bravo

text: It was Hanna-Barbera's first production after Turner Broadcasting System was purchased by Time Warner.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: "Johnny Bravo" premiered on July 14, 1997, and the first season completed production in December of that year.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: After the first season, "Johnny Bravo" was put on hiatus, until it was picked up for an unexpected second season in 1999. Van Partible was fired during Warner Bros. takeover of Turner Broadcasting and Kirk Tingblad took over as director, leading to a major retooling in the show's visual style, tone, humor, and characters. The show retained this format for the third season.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The series was put on hiatus once again until it was renewed for a fourth season in 2003, which aired in 2004. The final season of the series returned to the humor of the original shorts and first season of the series, with Van Partible returning and co-directing all of the fourth season episodes, although the Jungle Boy character from the first season never returned.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: After the series ended in 2004, the No. 5 Kellogg's Chevrolet was given a special paint scheme with Johnny Bravo on the hood. It was driven by Kyle Busch in the 2005 Sharpie 500 NASCAR race.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The title character is considered "iconic", and his catchphrases are relatively common in popular culture.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: The show's creative team went on to create many successful television series throughout the 1990s and 2000s, including writer Seth MacFarlane, creator of the popular animated series "Family Guy". Shortly after the series' first season was completed, writer/director Butch Hartman left to work on Nickelodeon's "Oh Yeah! Cartoons", from which those shorts spun off his own success, "The Fairly OddParents". Steve Marmel, writer for "Johnny Bravo", has been a producer and writer for "The Fairly OddParents" since its premiere in 2001. In addition to "Johnny Bravo", director John McIntyre directed episodes of several other Cartoon Cartoons, and more recently served as a supervising director on Cartoon Network's original series "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack".


title: Johnny Bravo

text: JBVO: Your All Request Cartoon Show was a programming block that aired Sundays on Cartoon Network from April 2, 2000, to summer of 2001. It was hosted by Johnny Bravo, along with some infrequent guest stars such as Chicken (from "Cow and Chicken"). Callers would write into the show via mail or through the Cartoon Network website to call the show and request a cartoon from Cartoon Network's cartoon library, which would then be played, with an exception of half-hour-long shows. One caller of the show named Jennifer requested an episode of "Dragon Ball Z". Being that it was a half-hour long, Johnny regretfully had to fast-forward through the entire episode with Johnny providing only expositional commentary. Afterward, Johnny apologized to the caller for the inconvenience.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: After the series ended, a spin-off of "JBVO" named Toon FM was launched in Europe. The series had a few unique changes, such as Godzilla presenting the weather. The spin-off also had Brak from Space Ghost as the co-host.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: There was also a similar spin-off of the "JBVO" concept itself entitled Viva Las Bravo, a summer block that aired from 2005 to 2006 on certain European variants of Cartoon Network. Every day Johnny would announce three cartoons, and the one getting the highest votes via email or on CartoonNetworkHQ.net would be shown for two hours the next day. He would also constantly appear in commercial breaks, cracking jokes or answering humorous emails and phone calls.


title: Johnny Bravo

text: Johnny Bravo first appeared in the Cartoon Network Starring series from DC Comics from 1999 to 2001. Newer stories were then included for Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoons anthology comic from DC comics from 2001 to 2004.

title: The Independent

text: The Independent is a British online newspaper. It was established in 1986 as a national morning printed paper. Nicknamed the "Indy", it began as a broadsheet and changed to tabloid format in 2003. The last printed edition was published on Saturday 26 March 2016, leaving only the online edition.


title: The Independent

text: The newspaper was controlled by Tony O'Reilly's Irish Independent News & Media from 1997 until it was sold to the Russian oligarch and former KGB Officer Alexander Lebedev in 2010. In 2017, Sultan Muhammad Abuljadayel bought a 30% stake in it.


title: The Independent

text: The daily edition was named National Newspaper of the Year at the 2004 British Press Awards. The website and mobile app had a combined monthly reach of 19,826,000 in 2021.


title: The Independent

text: Launched in 1986, the first issue of "The Independent" was published on 7 October in broadsheet format. It was produced by Newspaper Publishing plc and created by Andreas Whittam Smith, Stephen Glover and Matthew Symonds. All three partners were former journalists at "The Daily Telegraph" who had left the paper towards the end of Lord Hartwell's ownership. Marcus Sieff was the first chairman of Newspaper Publishing, and Whittam Smith took control of the paper.


title: The Independent

text: The paper was created at a time of a fundamental change in British newspaper publishing. Rupert Murdoch was challenging long-accepted practices of the print unions and ultimately defeated them in the Wapping dispute. Consequently, production costs could be reduced which, it was said at the time, created openings for more competition. As a result of controversy around Murdoch's move to Wapping, the plant was effectively having to function under siege from sacked print workers picketing outside. "The Independent" attracted some of the staff from the two Murdoch broadsheets who had chosen not to move to his company's new headquarters. Launched with the advertising slogan "It is. Are you?", and challenging both "The Guardian" for centre-left readers and "The Times" as the newspaper of record, "The Independent" reached a circulation of over 400,000 by 1989.

text: Competing in a moribund market, "The Independent" sparked a general freshening of newspaper design as well as, within a few years, a price war in the market sector. When "The Independent" launched "The Independent on Sunday" in 1990, sales were less than anticipated, partly due to the launch of the "Sunday Correspondent" four months prior, although this direct rival closed at the end of November 1990. Some aspects of production merged with the main paper, although the Sunday paper retained a largely distinct editorial staff.


title: The Independent

text: In the 1990s, "The Independent" was faced with price cutting by the Murdoch titles, and started an advertising campaign accusing "The Times" and "The Daily Telegraph" of reflecting the views of their proprietors, Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black. It featured spoofs of the other papers' mastheads with the words "The Rupert Murdoch" or "The Conrad Black", with "The Independent" below the main title.


title: The Independent

text: In April 1996, there was another refinancing, and in March 1998, O'Reilly bought the other shares of the company for £30 million, and assumed the company's debt. Brendan Hopkins headed Independent News, Andrew Marr was appointed editor of "The Independent", and Rosie Boycott became editor of "The Independent on Sunday". Marr introduced a dramatic if short-lived redesign which won critical favour but was a commercial failure, partly as a result of a limited promotional budget. Marr admitted his changes had been a mistake in his book, "My Trade".


title: The Independent

text: Boycott left in April 1998 to join the "Daily Express", and Marr left in May 1998, later becoming the BBC's political editor. Simon Kelner was appointed as the editor. By this time the circulation had fallen below 200,000. Independent News spent heavily to increase circulation, and the paper went through several redesigns. While circulation increased, it did not approach the level which had been achieved in 1989, or restore profitability. Job cuts and financial controls reduced the morale of journalists and the quality of the product.


title: The Independent

text: Ivan Fallon, on the board since 1995 and formerly a key figure at "The Sunday Times", replaced Hopkins as head of Independent News & Media in July 2002. By mid-2004, the newspaper was losing £5 million per year. A gradual improvement meant that by 2006, circulation was at a nine-year high.


title: The Independent

text: In November 2008, following further staff cuts, production was moved to Northcliffe House, in Kensington High Street, the headquarters of Associated Newspapers. The two newspaper groups' editorial, management and commercial operations remained separate, but they shared services including security, information technology, switchboard and payroll.


title: The Independent

text: On 25 March 2010, Independent News & Media sold the newspaper to a new company owned by the family of Russian oligarch Alexander Lebedev for a nominal £1 fee and £9.25m over the next 10 months, choosing this option over closing "The Independent" and "The Independent on Sunday", which would have cost £28m and £40m respectively, due to long-term contracts. Alexander's son Evgeny became Chairman of the new company, with Alexander becoming a board director. In 2009, Lebedev had bought a controlling stake in the "London Evening Standard". Two weeks later, editor Roger Alton resigned.


title: The Independent

text: In July 2011, "The Independent"s columnist Johann Hari was stripped of the Orwell Prize he had won in 2008 after claims, to which Hari later admitted, of plagiarism and inaccuracy. In January 2012, Chris Blackhurst, editor of "The Independent", told the Leveson inquiry that the scandal had "severely damaged" the newspaper's reputation. He nevertheless told the inquiry that Hari would return as a columnist in "four to five weeks". Hari later announced that he would not return to "The Independent". Jonathan Foreman contrasted "The Independent"s reaction to the scandal unfavourably with the reaction of American newspapers to similar incidents such as the Jayson Blair case, which led to resignations of editors, "deep soul-searching", and "new standards of exactitude being imposed". The historian Guy Walters suggested that Hari's fabrications had been an open secret amongst the newspaper's staff and that their internal inquiry was a "facesaving exercise". A proportion of articles are now behind a pay wall; that section is titled 'Independent Minds'.

text: "The Independent" and "The Independent on Sunday" endorsed "Remain" in the Brexit referendum of 2016.


title: The Independent

text: In March 2016 "The Independent" decided to close its print edition and become an online newspaper; the last printed edition was published on Saturday 26 March 2016. "The Independent on Sunday" published its last print edition on 20 March 2016 and was closed following that.


title: The Independent

text: "The Independent" began publishing as a broadsheet, in a series of celebrated designs. The final version was designed by Carroll, Dempsey and Thirkell following a commission by Nicholas Garland who, along with Alexander Chancellor, was unhappy with designs produced by Raymond Hawkey and Michael McGuiness – on seeing the proposed designs, Chancellor had said "I thought we were joining a serious paper". The first edition was designed and implemented by Michael Crozier, who was Executive Editor, Design and Picture, from pre-launch in 1986 to 1994.


title: The Independent

text: From September 2003, the paper was produced in both broadsheet and tabloid-sized versions, with the same content in each. The tabloid edition was termed "compact" to distance itself from the more sensationalist reporting style usually associated with "tabloid" newspapers in the UK. After launching in the London area and then in North West England, the smaller format appeared gradually throughout the UK. Soon afterwards, Rupert Murdoch's "Times" followed suit, introducing its own tabloid-sized version. Prior to these changes, "The Independent" had a daily circulation of around 217,500, the lowest of any major national British daily, a figure that climbed by 15% as of March 2004 (to 250,000). Throughout much of 2006, circulation stagnated at a quarter of a million. On 14 May 2004, "The Independent" produced its last weekday broadsheet, having stopped producing a Saturday broadsheet edition in January. "The Independent on Sunday" published its last simultaneous broadsheet on 9 October 2005, and thereafter followed a compact design until the print edition was discontinued.


title: The Independent

text: On 12 April 2005, "The Independent" redesigned its layout to a more European feel, similar to France's "Libération". The redesign was carried out by a Barcelona-based design studio. The weekday second section was subsumed within the main paper, double-page feature articles became common in the main news sections, and there were revisions to the front and back covers. A new second section, "Extra", was introduced on 25 April 2006. It is similar to "The Guardian"s "G2" and "The Times"s "Times2", containing features, reportage and games, including sudoku. In June 2007, "The Independent on Sunday" consolidated its content into a news section which included sports and business, and a magazine focusing on life and culture. On 23 September 2008, the main newspaper became full-colour, and "Extra" was replaced by an "Independent Life Supplement" focusing on different themes each day.


title: The Independent

text: Three weeks after the acquisition of the paper by Alexander Lebedev and Evgeny Lebedev in 2010, the paper was relaunched with another redesign on 20 April. The new format featured smaller headlines and a new pullout "Viewspaper" section, which contained the paper's comment and feature articles. From 26 October 2010, the same day as its sister paper, "i", was launched, "The Independent" was printed on slightly thicker paper than before and ceased to be full-colour throughout, with many photographs and pictures (though none of those used in adverts) being printed in black and white only. On 11 October 2011, "The Independent" unveiled yet another new look, featuring a red, sans-serif masthead. In November 2013, the whole newspaper was overhauled again, including new custom fonts and a vertical masthead in black.


title: The Independent

text: Following the 2003 switch in format, "The Independent" became known for its unorthodox and campaigning front pages, which frequently relied on images, graphics or lists rather than traditional headlines and written news content. For example, following the Kashmir earthquake in 2005, it used its front page to urge its readers to donate to its appeal fund, and following the publication of the Hutton Report into the death of British government scientist David Kelly, its front page simply carried the word "Whitewash?" In 2003, the paper's editor, Simon Kelner, was named "Editor of the Year" at the "What the Papers Say" awards, partly in recognition of, according to the judges, his "often arresting and imaginative front-page designs". In 2008, however, as he was stepping down as editor, he stated that it was possible to "overdo the formula" and that the style of the paper's front pages perhaps needed "reinvention".


title: The Independent

text: Under the subsequent editorship of Chris Blackhurst, the campaigning, poster-style front pages were scaled back in favour of more conventional news stories.


title: The Independent

text: The weekday, Saturday and Sunday editions of "The Independent" all included supplements and pull-out subsections:


title: The Independent

text: On 23 January 2008, "The Independent" relaunched its online edition. The relaunched site introduced a new look, better access to the blog service, priority on image and video content, and additional areas of the site including art, architecture, fashion, gadgets and health. The paper launched podcast programmes such as "The Independent Music Radio Show", "The Independent Travel Guides", "The Independent Sailing Podcasts", and "The Independent Video Travel Guides". Since 2009, the website has carried short video news bulletins provided by the Al Jazeera English news channel.


title: The Independent

text: In 2014, "The Independent" launched a sister website, "i100", a "shareable" journalism site with similarities to Reddit and Upworthy.


title: The Independent

text: The Independent is generally described as centre to centre-left, liberal and liberal-left. When the paper was established in 1986, the founders intended its political stance to reflect the centre of the British political spectrum and thought that it would attract readers primarily from "The Times" and "The Daily Telegraph". It has been seen as leaning to the left wing of the political spectrum, making it more a competitor to "The Guardian". However, "The Independent" tends to take a liberal, pro-market stance on economic issues. "The" "Independent on Sunday" referred to itself as a "proudly liberal newspaper".


title: The Independent

text: The paper has highlighted what it refers to as war crimes being committed by pro-government forces in the Darfur region of Sudan.


title: The Independent

text: The paper has been a strong supporter of electoral reform. In 1997, "The Independent on Sunday" launched a campaign for the decriminalisation of cannabis. Ten years later, it reversed itself, arguing that skunk, the cannabis strain "smoked by the majority of young Britons" in 2007, had become "25 times stronger than resin sold a decade ago".


title: The Independent

text: The paper's opinion on the British monarchy has sometimes been described as republican, though it officially identifies as reformist, wishing for a reformed monarchy that "reflects the nation over which it reigns and which is accountable to the people for its activities". Originally, it avoided royal stories, Whittam Smith later saying he thought the British press was "unduly besotted" with the Royal Family and that a newspaper could "manage without" stories about the monarchy.


title: The Independent

text: In 2007, Alan Rusbridger, editor of "The Guardian", said of "The Independent": "The emphasis on views, not news, means that the reporting is rather thin, and it loses impact on the front page the more you do that". In a 12 June 2007 speech, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called "The Independent" a "viewspaper", saying it "was started as an antidote to the idea of journalism as views not news. That was why it was called the Independent. Today it is avowedly a viewspaper not merely a newspaper". "The Independent" criticised Blair's comments the following day but later changed format to include a "Viewspaper" insert in the centre of the regular newspaper, designed to feature most of the opinion columns and arts reviews.


title: The Independent

text: A leader published on the day of the 2008 London mayoral election compared the candidates and said that, if the newspaper had a vote, it would vote first for the Green Party candidate, Siân Berry, noting the similarity between her priorities and those of "The Independent", and secondly, with "rather heavy heart", for the incumbent, Ken Livingstone.


title: The Independent

text: An Ipsos MORI poll estimated that in the 2010 general election, 44% of regular readers voted Liberal Democrat, 32% voted Labour, and 14% voted Conservative, compared to 23%, 29%, and 36%, respectively, of the overall electorate. On the eve of the 2010 general election, "The Independent" supported the Liberal Democrats, arguing that


title: The Independent

text: [T]hey are longstanding and convincing champions of civil liberties, sound economics, international co-operation on the great global challenges and, of course, fundamental electoral reform. These are all principles that this newspaper has long held dear.


title: The Independent

text: However, before the 2015 general election, "The Independent on Sunday" desisted from advising its readers how to vote, writing that "this does not mean that we are a bloodless, value-free news-sheet. We have always been committed to social justice", but the paper recognised that it was up the readers to "make up [their] own mind about whether you agree with us or not". Rather than support a particular party, the paper urged all its reader to vote as "a responsibility of common citizenship". On 4 May 2015, the weekday version of "The Independent" said that a continuation of the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition after the general election would be a positive outcome.


title: The Independent

text: At the end of July 2018, "The Independent" led a campaign they called the "Final Say" – a change.org petition by editor Christian Broughton, for a binding referendum on the Brexit deal between the UK and the European Union.


title: The Independent

text: As of October 2018, "Independent Arabia" is owned and managed by Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), a major publishing organisation with close ties to the Saudi royal family, and further news websites of "The Independent" in Persian, Turkish and Urdu run by the same company are planned.


title: The Independent

text: There have also been various guest editors over the years, such as Elton John on 1 December 2010, the Body Shop's Anita Roddick on 19 June 2003 and U2's Bono in 2006.


title: The Independent

text: "The Independent on Sunday" ("IoS") was the Sunday sister newspaper of "The Independent". It ceased to exist in 2016, the last edition being published on 20 March; the daily paper ceasing print publication six days later.


title: The Independent

text: In October 2010, the "i", a compact sister newspaper, was launched. The "i" is a separate newspaper but uses some of the same material. It was later sold to regional newspaper company Johnston Press, becoming that publisher's flagship national newspaper. The "i"s online presence, "i100", was restyled as "indy100" and retained by Independent News & Media.


title: The Independent

text: The online news site indy100 was announced by "The Independent" in February 2016, to be written by journalists but with stories selected by 'upvotes' from readers. "Because indy100 is from The Independent you can still trust us to take our facts very seriously (even the funny ones). Some of the stories will have been inspired by the brilliant work in "The Independent". Most will be from the crack team of indy100 journalists."


title: The Independent

text: "The Independent" supported U2 lead singer Bono's Product RED brand by creating "The (RED) Independent", an occasional edition that gave half the day's proceeds to the charity. The first edition was in May 2006. Edited by Bono, it drew high sales.


title: The Independent

text: A September 2006 edition of "The (RED) Independent", designed by fashion designer Giorgio Armani, drew controversy due to its cover shot, showing model Kate Moss in blackface for an article about AIDS in Africa.

title: Danger Mouse (musician)

text: Brian Joseph Burton was born in White Plains, New York. He spent much of his childhood in Spring Valley, New York. Burton moved to Stone Mountain, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, where he attended and graduated from Redan High School. He lived in Athens, Georgia, where he pursued a degree in telecommunications at the University of Georgia on scholarship, and where his trip hop works ("The Chilling Effect" (1999), "Rhode Island" (2000), and "Pelican City / Scanner - Pelican City vs. Scanner" (2002)) were released while he was a student. While at the University of Georgia he was introduced to Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and Portishead, and came to know the indie rock scene in Athens, remixed work by several local artists, including Neutral Milk Hotel, and DJ'd for University of Georgia radio station WUOG-FM. From 1998 to 2003, Burton created a series of remix CDs and records under the stage name Danger Mouse. He performed in a mouse outfit because he was too shy to show his face, and took his name from the British cartoon series "Danger Mouse".


title: Danger Mouse (musician)

text: While in Athens, Burton took second place in a 1998 talent contest and was asked to open for a concert at the University of Georgia featuring OutKast and Goodie Mob. Afterwards, Burton claims he approached CeeLo Green, a member of Goodie Mob, and gave him an instrumental demo tape. CeeLo has no recollection of this and the instrumental demo tape's existence has never been confirmed. Trey Reames who had promoted CeeLo's first solo shows in Georgia, moved to London and became Burton's first manager. He suggested and negotiated CeeLo's appearance on the 26' Remix of the Danger Mouse and Jemini record. When Burton met CeeLo for this project, he shared some beats which led them to collaborate as Gnarls Barkley.


title: Danger Mouse (musician)

text: Burton moved to Britain for a couple of years, living in New Cross in London and working at the Rose pub near London Bridge. While there, he sent a demo to Lex Records, which signed him. Burton relocated to Los Angeles; his first original releases under the name Danger Mouse were his collaborations with rapper Jemini, including the album "Ghetto Pop Life", released in 2003 on Lex Records. The Danger Mouse debut was well received by critics, but he did not rise to fame until he created "The Grey Album", mixing a cappella versions of Jay-Z's "The Black Album" over beats crafted from samples of the Beatles' eponymous album, also known as "The White Album". The remix album, originally created just for his friends, spread over the Internet and became very popular with both the general audience and critics, with "Rolling Stone" calling it the ultimate remix record and "Entertainment Weekly" ranking it the best record of that year. He discussed his feelings about any controversy the album may have created in the documentary "Alternative Freedom". Danger Mouse was named among the Men of the Year by "GQ" in 2004 and won a 2005 "Wired" Rave Award.


title: Danger Mouse (musician)

text: "The Grey Album" got the attention of Damon Albarn, who enlisted Danger Mouse to produce Gorillaz' second studio album, "Demon Days". "Demon Days" earned Burton a Grammy Award nomination for Producer of the Year.

text: In an interview for "The New York Times" magazine, Danger Mouse was compared to a film auteur, basing his music production philosophy on the cinematic philosophy of directors like Woody Allen. "Woody Allen was an auteur: he did his thing, and that particular thing was completely his own", he said. "That's what I decided to do with music. I want to create a director's role within music, which is what I tried to do on this album ("St. Elsewhere")... I can create different kinds of musical worlds, but the artist needs the desire to go into that world... Musically, there is no one who has the career I want. That's why I have to use film directors as a model."


title: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

text: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the debut studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 5 August 1967 by EMI Columbia. It is the only Pink Floyd album made under the leadership of founding member Syd Barrett (lead vocals, guitar); he wrote all but three tracks, with additional composition by members Roger Waters (bass, vocals), Nick Mason (drums), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). The album followed the band's early chart success with the 1967 non-album singles "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play", as well as their influential performances at London's UFO Club.

text: The album was recorded at EMI Studios in London's Abbey Road from February to May 1967 and produced by Norman Smith. It blended Pink Floyd's reputation for long-form improvisational pieces with Barrett's short pop songs and whimsical take on psychedelia. The album made prominent use of recording effects such as reverb and echo, employing tools like EMT plate reverberation, automatic double tracking (ADT), and Abbey Road's echo chamber. Part-way through the recording sessions, Barrett's growing use of the psychedelic drug LSD saw his mental state become increasingly debilitated, leading to his eventual departure from the group the following year. The album title was derived from chapter seven of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 children's novel "The Wind in the Willows", a favourite of Barrett's.
