Drawn in the style of a pre-school children's cartoon. But from the sick & twisted minds of the guys from Southpark.
Princess, A lap dog who observes the very adult world around her. The sexual content was so extreme shockwave.com halted development of the "webisodes" only after seeing the first 2 of 39 episodes that were contracted.
Now you can
watch these shorts & judge for yourself. Thanks to the folks at Trio.

Pixar Dumps Disney: "It is impossible to know how bad this is for Disney." On the other hand:
Disney can begin creating sequels to all of Pixar's films, something it could not do under its current arrangement and is almost certain to exploit. On the third hand:
One film executive suggested that Mr. Jobs could now be considered a candidate to run Disney if indeed Mr. Eisner ever left.

Snakes. An animated film based on a woodcut by M.C. Escher. Slow to load, beautiful to watch (and listen to).

Our delicate ecosystem - apparently comprises snakes, badgers, mushrooms and ..er.. badgers. If, like me, you are in an excitable mood, then you will be murmuring 'badger badger badger' for the next 5 hours in a Beavis 'Tee-pee for my bunghole style'.
Happy early Friday flash!

Slightly ominous, slightly beautiful collection of ePostcards (and photographs) of Streatham Cemetery, rendered in the subtlest use of Flash I've ever seen (gentle animations on small portions of each image. Be sure to view the cemetery in all four seasons, multiple pix of each.

Suspended Animation. With its recent batch of new layoffs, Disney's animation department has just about completely abandonded production on any and all traditional 2D animated features in favour of flashier
money-making 3D computer-animated fare. Is an artform dying?

Dr. Seuss, politcal cartoonist. Before the Cat strode in wearing a Hat, and before Horton heard a Who, Dr. Seuss drew for a liberal New York newspaper called PM. Through most of 1941 he drew
images that criticized isolationists who thought we could sit out the war. He already had developed his idiosyncratic style, and the University of California at San Diego has all 400 of his PM cartoons on its site. Here's what he drew
Dec. 5, 1941, and this is his cartoon of
Dec. 8. Later in the war, he wrote scripts for 28 "
Private Snafu" animated cartoons, which taught servicemen what not to do. Some were directed by Chuck Jones.

They sold everything from
Earthquake Pills (caution: not effective on Road Runners) to
Trick Balls (warning: explode on contact!). They may be the world's most diverse goods & services company, with the possible exception of Wal Mart. I speak, of course, of the fine folks at ACME, whose full catalog is finally available
online.
Go, now, read! Don't make me use my
Ultimatum Dispatcher!

Last of the free Animatrix episodes released! I've been waiting for this for a long time (in fact, ever since it was discussed
here). Set to be released on DVD June 3rd, four of the nine animated shorts were made available to download, one released every month since February. The last one,
The Second Renaissance Part 2, has finally been released, much to my anticipation [Note: Quicktime required]. This one is directed by Mahiro Maeda, famous his
Blue Submarine no. 6 series. Other directors include Shinichiro Watanabe, known for his work on
Cowboy Bebop, and Aeon Flux's
Peter Chung.

I heard it through the grapevine that Will Vinton has been "let go" from Will Vinton Studios.
Best known for the California Grapes commercials, the creator of Claymation™ has been rather unceremoniously kicked out of the animation studio he started.
Isn't this like kicking out Walt Disney or Jim Henson
(when they were both alive, obviously)?
What's the value of a studio without the talent it was named after?
