.. and here's a trailer for a video game coming next year which apparently utilizes actual for-real stop motion (for cutscenes, at least; not sure whether gameplay is also stop-mo).

a very clever and fun ad for a 'stop motion' add-on for Blender.

.. worth a watch even if you're not a CG artist.

For the past week, I've been participating in LooneyUne .. an Inktober-style challenge featuring daily prompts for a Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies-themed drawing on each day of June, run by Dave Alvarez (a longtime contributor to various LT/MM animated & comics projects, and also an accomplished webc...

A year ago, I posted the first two episodes of Punch Punch Forever! in this thread. and now -- at long last! -- PPF! episode 3 has been released .. and it hasn't lost a step..! :lol: :!: however -- where the first couple episodes kinda skated to the edge of 'PG-13' content (and slightly past it, if ...

heh.

The first movie I ever saw at the world-famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre (just across the street from the El Capitan) was .. Beavis and Butthead Do America.

I scored a ticket to the very first opening day screening at Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood .. center of the balcony!

Last movie I'd done that for was The Incredibles .. over 20 years ago!

Someday .. I would dearly love to see an animated Natacha movie. .. and that day is finally at hand! .. although it's a live-action adaptation, instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Pe3j5f9fE still .. it's incredible to see a longtime favorite Belgian comic series in movie form, at last. :D Lo...

This Dua Lipa music video is a couple years old .. but it just showed up again in my YT feed, and IMO it does an impressive job of capturing an authentic 'vintage 1980s anime' vibe. There's a little Urusei Yatsura , a hint of Minky Momo , sprinkles of Macross , etc. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I'd absolutely love to see a Meatballs & Spaghetti DVD. :D Like most SatAM cartoons of the time, there's probably only 16 episodes or so (if that)..! And yeah, the few available YouTube offerings of M&S are basically 'taped-on-the-original-airdate' VHS recordings .. a couple episodes in english .. a...

I don't use Prime on purpose , since their delivery service is incompatible with how I receive mail .. but a chance to see episodes of Meatballs & Spaghetti with 'decent-quality' video is certainly tempting. :!: Honestly, it's just nice to know I'm not the only one out there who fondly remembers tha...

.. but .. that's what makes him a perfect Mister Fantastic..!

speaking as a lifelong Fantastic Four fan ..

perfect trailer. no notes.

Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind

Since I've chronicled most every other milestone for this strip, in this thread .. Phoebe And Her Unicorn ended its newspaper run, today .. almost exactly ten years after it premiered in newspapers (and nearly twelve years after it'd begun as the 'online-only' strip Heavenly Nostrils ). However, P&H...

Warner Bros has already torn down the building where all of the modern Looney Tunes were made, a couple years ago -- in fact, they also tore-down the entire Warner Bros 'Ranch' auxillary studio facility, along with it -- which included landmark outdoor sets like the fountain from Friends and (most s...
