Seth MacFarlane Foundation Teams With Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation To Restore Its First-Ever Collection Of Animated Pics

Quick Glance: Seth MacFarlane & Martin Scorsese Restore Vintage Animated Shorts

Seth MacFarlane & Martin Scorsese join forces to restore vintage animated shorts, with some set to premiere at the TCM Classic Film Festival.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese have teamed up to fund the restoration of historically significant animated shorts from the 1920s to 1940s.

The restored animated shorts mainly come from Max and Dave Fleischer, best known for their work on Superman, Popeye the Sailor, Betty Boop, and Koko the Clown. Funded by the Seth MacFarlane Foundation, the restorations used unique original pre-print elements and/or print sources, mostly nitrate, held at UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Martin Scorsese is a strong advocate for restoring forgotten films and emphasizes the importance of preserving cinematic heritage. Some of these restored shorts will premiere at the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival, with Seth MacFarlane providing a personal introduction.

Sharks part ways with coach David Quinn after 19-win season: Why now?: Quinn leaves San Jose with a 41-98-25 record over two seasons.

Quick Glance: San Jose Sharks Fire David Quinn After Two-Season Tenure as Head Coach

San Jose - Feeling that his team needed a new voice as it transitions into another phase of its rebuild, San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier fired his friend, David Quinn, as head coach on Wednesday after just his second season.

An emotional Grier stated that he finalized his decision to dismiss Quinn late Tuesday night. Recently, Grier met with players and others in the organization to discuss the Sharks' future needs following their NHL-worst record this season.

Grier also revealed that assistant coaches Scott Gordon, Brian Wiseman, Ryan Warsofsky, and goaltending coach Thomas Speer are still part of the organization but are free to explore other opportunities. The incoming replacement for Quinn will have the authority to decide whether to retain these coaches.

At present, Grier indicated that no other significant organizational changes are under consideration, stating that 'there's probably some other things that need to be reviewed. But that’s what we had to take care of right now.'

Quick Glance: Record Attendance Achieved in NHL Season 2024

The National Hockey League announced on Monday that the single-season attendance record has been broken. A total of 22,560,634 fans have watched games in the regular season through Monday, filling arenas at 97 percent capacity, surpassing the previous record of 22,436,532 from the 2022-23 season.

For three seasons now, the league has consisted of 32 teams, including the Seattle Kraken. Games this season have been played in the 32 home arenas as well as in various stadiums worldwide, including Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, T-Mobile Park in Seattle, and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

A highlight was the game on February 18, where 79,690 spectators were present - the third-largest audience in NHL history, as the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders at MetLife Stadium 6-5 in overtime.

The schedule still includes eight games on Tuesday, four on Wednesday, and six on Thursday to conclude the regular season.
