The Beatles : Rock Band
|
Man, I am so excited for this game’s release. The opening animated intro goes from fantastic to super-amazing and then just down plain outright utterly wonderful. The people behind this little slice of joy should be proud of themselves. |
Ludwig Von Drake - The Spectrum Song
|
“Yellow, green, red, blue blue blue, red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red red, red, yellow, green, red, blue blue blue, red, purple, green, yellow, orange, red red.” |
Spümcø - Quaker’s Quisp Ad
|
How I missed this John Kricfalusi animated ad when it originally came out is just beyond me. Too bad Spümcø is no longer around but at least John K still updates his blog. |
Mel Brooks - The Critic
|
No, not Jay Sherman but the very first film by Mel Brooks. This animated short is from 1963 which is five years before he would go on to do the first version of The Producers. |
My Green Fedora
|
I can remember being stuck in bed, sick on a really gloomy day as a kid and I saw this on one of those daytime cartoon shows that ran on TBS back in the day. It really cheered me up then and it still does to this day…plus the tune is really catchy. |
Aaron Koblin - Flight Patterns
|
Artist Aaron Koblin’s work is something extremely modern. He is obsessed with taking data and converting it into works of art. I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of his works in the mainstream, so be sure to check out his official site. |
Honeyland
|
A totally typical Rudolf Ising toon from the 30’s that is really almost a stereotype of the animated shorts released at that time. It really is a total formula piece, but somehow it still has a nice look to it. |
Marine Boy - The Green Monster
|
This cartoon was apparently one of the very first anime shows to be imported from Japan to the U.S. and dubbed into English. He could breathe underwater because of his special chewing gum….wtf?!?! |
Big Baby - Rookie
|
Yep, that sure is one big-ass baby. And some people try and deny the fact that America has a major obesity problem these days. |
Christmas Comes To Pacland
|
Even as a kid, I knew that the idea of a cartoon based on Pac-man was astoundingly stupid and making a Christmas special out of it was even more idiotic but I still watched it anyways. |
