Richard Williams is a master animator best known for his work on “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” If any of you happen to be an animation student, you should be familiar with “The Animator’s Survival Kit” book, written by Williams, and is probably the bible of animation. The man made a few commercials during the 80s [...]
The Art of Drowning by Diego Maclean
Depressive, yet excellent animation short. Poem by Billy Collins.
Shenanigans from the House of Mouse
Fun Fact: No Disney animated movie has grossed as much money as any Pixar movie since Pixar was formed. Because of this, Disney plans to phase out of animation and focus only on Pixar. I read this little gem over on this blog. This probably isn’t true, or it was during the time in which [...]
‘The Goon’ teaser trailer from SDCC 2010
The Goon is a comic book series by Eric Powell. The series has a distinctly paranormal slant, with the average story concerning ghosts, ghouls, skunk-apes with an unnatural hunger for pie, extra-dimensional aliens, and mad scientists. Blur Studios is currently working on this. I know someone who did a back up story for Dark Horse [...]
Making-of Video for CG Animated Short MEET MELINE

The return of 2D animation? Concept art for Disney's Rapunzel
Thanks to Disney taking a reviewer’s words too seriously about 2D animation being dead, plus the amount of forgettable garbage being put out in the late 90s/early 2000s kinda dug a grave I guess (Although, I dont care what anyone says, Treasure Planet was AWESOME) But with the coming release of The Princess and the [...]
Godly Animation: Little Nemo
This is an animated cartoon that Winsor Mccay drew over a 100 years ago. Mccay finished producing the whole thing by himself in 1910, based on one of his stories (he was not only a pioneer of animation, he was also one in comics and visual story telling) Honestly, this is actually a hell of [...]
And they paid for that? – Nike Free Run Supernatural animated crap
If Nike really paid for this, expecting it to market it to the Asian community…they should get a refund. In fact, I wont judge anyone who doesnt wanna waste a minute and 43 seconds of their lives. This looks more like a student work rather than a professional piece. Nike Free Run Supernatural from Joseph [...]
