Who is the real stooge?
Sadly, that southern producer has brought me more laughs than all of Zemeckis projects beyond(and including) Forest Gump. The ones before, however, are a different story.

Claymation Mac Commercial by Laika
Yes, I know I'm a little late on this, and that it is a commercial, but damn it, it's just so fun(that, and the mac's stubble cracks me up every time I see it). I love the style of Rankin-Bass and this just captures it perfectly. I suddenly feel a lot better about Laika in the future. Anyone who can make good capitalism is someone to keep an eye on.Saturday, January 5, 2008
Dad, Can I Borrow the Car?
I've often admired Ward Kimball for his fun animation at Disney, a company not exactly synonymous with that title. But in the below short, he gets downright Svankmeyer, combining mixed medium like minimal animation, pixelation/stop-motion, and the voice over of young Kurt Russell(who, even at this stage of his career, is definitely a man's actor). Why can't this side of Disney ever come back?

Marvin Digs
In honor of the impending book on the man, Ralph Bakshi( I've got my copy pre-ordered) I present a rather humble beginning for someone that revolutionized the art form. But even in this short, which far from pleased him(he is said to throw up over reseeing it once) it still shows an inventiveness and collage of techniques that work. Groovy indeed!

In the Shadows of the City
It's been too long since Marvel has been spotlighted here, and doubly so for Steve Gerber. So, why not kill two birds with this story from the very first Haunt of Horror, yet another short lived black and white Marvel magazine. I tell you, they can do no wrong with this format; it just attracts talent.Once again courtesy of our friends at scans_daily,

Woman, thou art divine
I hate and love Frazetta at the same time. How does he make it look so awesome, something seemingly beyond mere mortals? That hair, those crab like hands, those unbelievable hips; something that shows what the beauty of hand drawn work can do. Some may call him old fashioned. They're right, it is out of style for paintings to have balls and actually connect to the people.
