"I Was a Teenage Stimpy," a nice directoral debut for Tom McGrath

"Whoops... wrong spook"

How NOT to draw Mickey Mouse, by Ward Kimball, the wildest of Walt Disney's Nine Old Men.

Here's a pretty funny caricature of Richard Williams and his mentor, Art Babbitt. Drawn by Eric Goldberg

365 Days of Tunes - 233/365: “You might, rabbit, you might…” In Friz Freleng’s BUGS AND THUGS (’54), the rabbit is “taken for a ride” by bank robbers Rocky and Mugsy when he mistakes their getaway car for a taxicab.

ANCIENT drawings I need to redraw, as these were all drawn when I was just starting out on the show--but I just remembered my BobEye the Sailor Sponge series

Model sheet of Hatta Mari, femme fatale from the Looney Tunes cartoon PLANE DAFFY (1944), directed by Frank Tashlin.

As much as I 100% empathize with a lot of people who don't jive well with this movie, this is seriously not fucking cool.

Did you guys see "Fixed" by Genndy Tartakovsky? Here's my thoughts on the movie: letterboxd.com/downinkwell/...

Here's some cool sketches done by Andreas Deja for the short, Runaway Brain

Happy birthday, Ms. Boop-Oop-a-Doop!

Happy birthday, ya wascally wabbit

"Gawrsh, we're gonna see the birth of baby Mickey, AH-HYUCK!"

GIMME YOUR WISHBONE!!!

I have some mixed feelings about the "Fixed" trailer, but overall, I'm VERY excited for this movie to come out. Love the animation and designs here.

Cool visual development art done by Lou Romano for The Incredibles. Arguably, in terms of art direction and design, Pixar pretty much hit their peak with this movie and Ratatouille.

Maybe the best cartoon within a cartoon. Cartoons Ain’t Human (1943) #Popeye #Animation #Comedy

#SpongeBob roughs from "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II". The judges were cut from the final. Steve thought the sculpture visual (sandwiches instead of krabby patty meat) was enough, and no doubt said: "Don't put a gag on a gag." 1/3

Hangman is dark, surreal animation based on a poem -- about a ruthless executioner and the man who lets him prey on the marginalized, hoping to be spared. It's a '60s film about the Red Scare, the Nazis and more. But it's also about today. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-silenc...

The original model sheet for Helen the Handyroo. This was made by Marc Harvey in early 1978. This also was when Helen's design started to finally solidify.

Hope you guys like memes or whatever

The Madagascar films have some outstanding art direction and visual development work, thanks in part to Yoriko Ito. Marvelous stuff here!

Up n' Outboard

Dog and Cat Esso 1947-1949 From 'Ye Old English Car-Tunes', a series produced by David Hand's Gaumont animation studio, the cartoons usually followed the unnamed cat's attempts to win the heart of the Mickey/Goofy-esque dog, who was seemingly incapable of caring for anyone other than his car.

Adjusted the face a bit before I colored him, Tex Avery's wolf.

Here's an enjoyable little commercial directed by Oscar Grillo for "Libby's Orange C" juice. Grillo's signature design style here is so much fun to look at!

"Ren's Bitter Half" is easily one of the best Ren & Stimpy episodes of the Games era. Terrifically directed by Mike Kim with some phenomenal BG work done by Bill Wray and Scott Wills

It's not even my birthday, and seeing Elon and Trump breaking up is the best gift I could ever wish for

Rest in peace Jonathan Joss

Ladies and gentlemen, timing director Alan Smart.

“This is gonna cause more confusion than a mouse at a burlesque show.”

From: Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941), dir. Dave Fleischer, Fleischer Studios This film was a key reference point for Hayao Miyazaki, and a favorite film of his around the time of The Castle of Cagliostro

365 Days of Tunes - 148/365: One of Mike Maltese’s early stories for Warners, Friz Freleng’s THE TRIAL OF MR. WOLF (41) involves a court case in which the Wolf claims he’s been victimized by Red Riding Hood and Grandma.

Look what arrived in the mail today! It's out now on BluRay, so go pick up a copy! Time to go through this movie frame by frame to study all my colleagues' wonderful animation skills and absorb their powers.

Lovin' these alien designs here

Incredible animation in this Richard Williams aftershave ad from 1978, based on the work of Frank Frazetta.

Visual development art by Paul Felix for Lilo & Stitch (2002), dir. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois

Recently splurged and got myself one of these replica Pinocchio clocks. I wanted one ever since it was advertised in the Disney Catalog 20 years ago. It came broken and it needs some work here and there, but it looks great!

Okay, I'm interested
