Needcoffee.com - Ten Years of Insomnia: 1998-2008!
A Brief History of The Eisner Era
Posted on 05.20.08 by Widge @ 4:03 pm

"This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is a student film that discusses modern Disney animation and how it got to where it is today.

There's a little bit wrong with it accuracy-wise, as Disney Blog points out. But as a short film it's terribly entertaining, which makes it better than the cheapquels it discusses, which were simply terrible.

Bob and Doug McKenzie Go Animated
Posted on 04.28.08 by Widge @ 5:06 am

Dave Thomas of SCTV glory sent to Quick Stop Entertainment a trailer for the upcoming Bob & Doug McKenzie animated series which hits next year. This was shown at New York Comic-Con in-between scheduling clusterfucks. I just want the return of Brewmeister Smith. Just for one episode. Please?

Face Your Fears
Posted on 04.23.08 by Widge @ 7:02 pm

Found yourself depressed because you didn't get to see the Venture Bros. Season 3 teaser trailer that Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick detonated in the middle of New York Comic-Con? Pining because you weren't part of the masses that were so unanticipated that they broke the Comic-Con schedule like a twig? Jonesing because you didn't get the chance to be impaled with a Dum-Dum thrown by the deadly hands of Ken Plume?

Your prayers and burnt offerings have been answered. Quick Stop Entertainment has posted the teaser. You will not be disappointed.

Update: It's now embeddable. God bless those pagans.

Miyazaki's "Little Nemo": A Taste of the Movie That Never Was
Posted on 04.09.08 by Widge @ 9:15 pm

Cartoon Brew has posted test footage from a planned Isao Takahata/Hayao Miyazaki American/Japanese joint production of Winsor McCay's Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland that sadly never happened. They also tell us

George Lucas, Chuck Jones, Gary Kurtz, Ray Bradbury, Chris Columbus, Moebius, John Canemaker, Leo Salkin, Paul Julian, Ken Anderson and Frank Thomas were attached to this film at one time or another. Bill Hurtz (George of the Jungle, Unicorn In The Garden) and Masami Hata (Sea Prince and the Fire Child) ultimately directed the final release, admittedly a mixed bag.

Here's the vid. Damn shame. This would have been amazing. More after the break.
