One of the funnier pieces to come out of Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy was Die, Sweet Roadrunner, Die – an almost existential look at an animation classic. The short was re-released on YouTube recently, and a new, :30 second, animated Priceline bumper was bolted to the front. It’s worth another look.
Award-winning animator and designer Simon Robson is the director and producer behind Coalition of the Willing. The innovative animation effort is a collaborative film that encourages online activism as a response to global warming. Along with writer Timothy Rayner, Robson has enlisted a network of 24 artists from around the world to help bring this vision to life. Aside from Robson’s own Knife Party, studios such as World Leaders, Foreign Office and Mighty Nice all contributed to the online gallery, which will reveal new films over a 12 week period, leading up to the mid-April completion. Here’s Over the Counter Culture by Knife Party:
Sure it’s a new year, but Dr. Tran is getting screwed with like he has for years now. In this new episode, titled Nail to the Gut, poor Dr. Tran puts on more costumes than a contestant at the Lil’ Miss Cutesy Pie beauty pageant. As usual, the episode was created by Breehn Burns and Jason Johnson, and animated by Mark Salisbury.
Here’s a holiday gift that’ll freak out your relatives – Jason Steele has deliver the latest FilmCow short, a second installment from the Llamas with Hats series.
Grickle creator Graham Annable has delivered his Christmas short that’ll whip your spirit into shape. It’s simply-titled Santa’s.
The new Dr. Tran Mail has arrived in your computer’s mail slot. It’s titled Keith Cares, but I think we can offically call this The Boner Episode. Big props to series creators Breehn Burns and Jason Johnson – and to artist/animator Mark Salisbury who must have 4 arms and 6 secret animation assistants hiding in his closet. More Dr. Tran awaits you over at Mondo Mini Shows (boner not included).
If you’re easily offended, then boy do I have the show for you. Actually, please power down your computer and do the laundry. Your genteel sensibilities are no longer needed at this website. The rest of us are about to watch the first episode of Octokids, a re-enactment of the actual, fabricated events surrounding Nadya Suleman’s birth to octuplets. The series is the creation of Steven Chunn, Abed Gheith and Sevan Najarian, who were all part of the House of Cosbys team. Since then, they’ve formed MightMoney.tv.
