12.14.07 by Widge @ 3:00 pm Okay, so: everybody listen up. This is important. If the CGI abomination that is the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie does well at the box office this weekend, then truly civilization as we know it has come to an end. Just. Say. No. Watch this instead: Categorized as: Animation

12.12.07 by Widge @ 2:41 am Here's a great segment from 1985 that talks to June Foray and Bill Scott about their career providing voices for many of the characters appearing in Rocky & Bullwinkle. As Mark Evanier points out (in his post, which is where we found this), this might actually be Scott's last public appearance before his death. This is a great find, since the previous video we had posted of Foray and Scott got yanked. Categorized as: Animation

12.06.07 by Widge @ 11:46 pm Cap'n D writes in to tell us about this, a supposed Top 10 of cartoon openings from the 80s, judged by the song and the opening sequence. However, this list is null and void. You can't have a list like this and ignore Robotech. That song kicked ass and the opening sequence was badass. Yes, when you got into the cartoon proper the music took a sharp left turn and you found yourself wanting to just stitch Minmei's mouth shut, but we're talking just the openings here. The good Cap'n points out somebody also did a solid half-hour of 80s cartoon openings and one of 90s cartoon openings as well. There, we've shot your productivity full of holes, either for tonight or in the morning. You're welcome. Direct link for the feedreaders. I mean, Christ, when was the last time you thought about the Pole Position cartoon? Categorized as: Animation

12.01.07 by Widge @ 11:03 pm I didn't realize they had made an animated series of this, honestly. And you know, it's funny: I recall now that there's a duck in the 1959 live action film adaptation of the book. But put an animal into a Filmation series and it's suddenly Gleek-time, isn't it?

12.01.07 by Widge @ 4:21 am  Stephen Worth over at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog has some of Virgil Ross' drawings of the cartoon, "A Hare Grows in Manhattan." (We previously posted about magazine illustrations of that particular short here--that was also due to the fine folks at ASIFA.) Worth has taken the drawings and turned them into a flipbook pencil test, so you can see them in action. It's short, but man, it's pretty cool. Categorized as: Animation
