A.D.V. Acquires Queen Emeraldas. A.D.V. Films has announced the acquisition of Queen Emeraldas, a new film from Leiji Matsumoto (creator of the `70s animated series Space Cruiser Yamato, a.k.a. Starblazers). The film features Matsumoto's unique sense of character design utilizing traditional and computer animation. The story takes place in the far future when humanity has expanded into space and colonized the stars. Since pirates ply the space routes preying on the weak and helpless, the rebel Emeraldas sails the Sea of Stars fighting evil using her array of futuristic weapons. The film will be released in summer of 1999 on both video and DVD.

Baby Huey Comes To Video. Columbia Tristar Home Video and the Harvey Entertainment Company will release Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure, a live-action, feature-length musical comedy, starring the classic oversized, diapered duck in his first movie ever. The direct-to-video film, which will be released on March 2, 1999, stars Joseph Bologna, Maureen McCormick, Harvey Korman, David Lander, and David Leisure. The song-filled film also includes a bonus Baby Huey cartoon, Daycare Duckie, packaged with the film. The film is about how Baby Huey befriends a young boy, Nick, and how they must pull together to uncover some sly villains, clear Huey's name, and save the big Easter celebration. Baby Huey was created in 1950 by Marty Taras and starred in many Paramount Pictures animated theatrical shorts.
