Will Frankenhole Incite Indian Protests Over Gandhi Episode?


posted by Aaron

Remember this? In 2003, 150 lawmakers and political activists fasted to protest the MTV animated series Clone High. They were angry over what they saw as an inappropriate depiction of their deceased political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi. I’m guessing the same uproar won’t occur after this Sunday’s episode (12:30 am on Adult Swim) of Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole, which sees Gandhi turned into a vampire, but that remains to be seen.

First Look at Animation From The Looney Tunes Show


posted by Aaron

The Looney Tunes ShowThe Looney Tunes Show has been announced on Cartoon Network. There’s no exact date yet, but we know it’s “Coming this Fall.” Check out this (crappy) screencap. What do you think of the CG and 2D styles? I’ve seen longer clips of the CG stuff (Roadrunner and Coyote), and I was rather impressed. I’ve heard the writing isn’t very solid, and/or that there’s just too much of it.
