Didn't disappoint...

Lovin' these contraptions here

Aw man

WHAT IF Chuck Jones teamed up with writer Warren Foster instead of Tedd Pierce and Michael Maltese? What kind of cartoons would they bring to the table if they collaborated with each other? 🤔

RIP Enid Denbo Wizig, assistant animator and ink & paint artist on the classic Looney Tunes cartoons of the 1940s under Chuck Jones. She was deaf since childhood, but became an expert lip-reader and wrote about her inspiring life and career in the book "I Never Asked Why Me?"

According to historian Greg Ford, the original ending to "The Stupid Cupid" was supposed to end on a pretty risqué punchline with Daffy Duck breaking the fourth wall and addressing the audience: "If you haven't tried it, don't knock it"

made a music video of cartoons i think you should see before you die. highly biased, personal, and non-comprehensive youtu.be/6T5bsHjb-dE?...

Watching a masterpiece on Turner Classic Movies.

Shame that UPA didn't do more Fox & Crow cartoons for Columbia. They're a lot of fun!

90+ years old Dante Barbetta, who started his career at Famous Studios in 1953, is still actively animating for fun! This was originally shared by @dee_bax #penciltest #sakuga #genga #2danimation

A goal of mine this year is to really lock in with my character acting for work and other avenues. And what better way to do that than to study the wealth of inspirations I have? VERY scribbly and quick, just trying to be gestural and hack out the flow, but here’s the result of one study session!

Did a piece for the David Lynch art show this coming weekend at the CTN Studio in Burbank, curated by @nicocolaleo.bsky.social ! It was fun going outside my comfort zone approach-wise, and learned a lot painting it. Hope to see a bunch of you there!

Great animation by Rollin "Ham" Hamilton, if I'm not mistaken.

Genuinely one of my favorite UPA shorts. It perfectly shows what you can do with such a limited style, i rewatch it every halloween!

R.I.P. Guy Moon, composer on THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS and DANNY PHANTOM. I love that "bwwomp" reaction sound he used to do on DP.

Always love how Bugs would fling and swing his arms around! Wonderful animation done by Manny Gould.

365 Days of Tunes - 365/365: We end now with a true masterpiece released 70 years ago: ONE FROGGY EVENING (’55). In it, a mysterious frog emerges from a box found inside the cornerstone of a demolished building—he sings and dances, but only in the presence of the workman who discovered him.

Also I was so busy with moving n house stuff that I wasn’t able to make Christmas cards this year, despite drawing half a dozen warm ups these last few weeks that were perfect Christmas card material. Ah well, here’s to next year!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, folks!

Cute animation here done by Phil Monroe of Sniffles dancing to the tune of "Kunstlerleben (Artist's Life), Op.316 From the short, "Bedtime for Sniffles"

More coming your way!

Wonderful watercolor sketches/illustrations done by Spike Brandt for the film, "Tom & Jerry: A Nutcracker Tale."

amazing jest on the principles of animation

Lovely animation done by Ken Harris of Bugs Bunny in a Parka attire/drag while seducing the hunter from the short, "Frigid Hare"

Disney's Pluto cartoons of the '40s and '50s aren't as funny as the Donald and Goofy shorts of the same period, but they have their moments, like this interesting bit from SPRINGTIME FOR PLUTO (1944).
