04.08.08 by Widge @ 8:02 pm  Disney has announced the ten animated feature films that make up their new release schedule through 2012. Plus some Tinker Bell direct to video bits. And you really don't want the hoobah of the press release talking about how great it is and ooh aren't we lovely. No, let's cut straight to the list. Oh, wait. You do want to know this bit, though: Starting later this year with the release of Disney's "Bolt," all Disney and Pixar animated features will be presented in state-of-the-art Disney Digital 3-D(TM). Additionally, newly converted 3-D versions of the beloved classics, "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2," are set to debut in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Films are not presently scheduled past 2012 due to the impending singularity, or as John Hodgman would call it: Ragnarok. That last part we had mentioned previously. And I'll go ahead and tell you: Incredibles 2 is not on the list. Damn you, Disney. Damn you for breaking my heart. Again. Oh, one last thing--where is Chazzie-award winning director Brad Bird? Making a live action co-produced film for Warner Brothers and Disney/Pixar, apparently, so he's not on the list. Come back, Brad! Bring me my Incredibles sequel! Please! Okay, list. What follows is trimmed from their press release. Our additions and comments are in italics. Categorized as: Animation

03.29.08 by Widge @ 8:17 pm Ah, Aardman. How we love ya. We know you best as the creator of fun stuff like Wallace and Gromit. And Creature Comforts. And Chicken Run. But you have a dark side to you, it seems, that we rather enjoy as well. NSFW for animated bums. I'm speaking anatomically here. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: Animation

03.29.08 by Widge @ 12:32 am It's apparently stop motion animation night here at the TechnoCave. Cabinet of Wonders posted some info on a cool-looking animated short called "The Animal Book" by Second Home Productions. You can read about it here, and see the trailer below: It's sort of like what would happen if you threw Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman and one of my favorite shorts, "More," into a blender.

03.28.08 by Widge @ 11:35 pm We've recently seen the Tron lightcycle sequence recreated with actual bikes. Now see it done with stop motion and cardboard. Bonus points for the making-of bits at the end. Categorized as: Animation

03.17.08 by Widge @ 12:15 am Saturday Morning Blog knew very little about these Ford commercials starring Dr. Seuss characters. I know even less. But I do concur that they are rather interesting. At least they didn't do "Horton Hears a Rattle in His Ford Engine." Although that might have been even more interesting. Who knows? Categorized as: Animation
