Deja View: Lady & the Tramp Art

LTR11

Interesting article up on Andreas Deja’s blog site Deja View with some Lady and the Tramp art…

An animation colleague of mine said this about the film Lady & the Tramp: “Oh, it’s just a soup opera with dogs. Boy gets girl, boy looses girl, boy gets girl in the end.”
Be that as it may, I think the movie’s story is compelling and in support of rich characters. I remember listening to a Walt Disney interview, in which he said this about the film: “Lady & the Tramp turned out well. We felt it, we felt the personalities.”

Bunnicula Mumkey Business Episode Clip

After Chester has had enough of Bunnicula’s supernatural hijinx, he decides to lock the rabbit back in the cellar crypt he came from. But when he takes Mina’s key, he unknowingly releases a second dangerous force into the apartments, in the form of a mummified monkey!

Incidentally here’s what I believe to be the original cartoon which is from a children’s book.

Super Science Friends – Episode 1: The Phantom Premise

At long last, the first episode of Super Science Friends is here for you to watch! It’s been called “Just the right amount of smart, the just the right amount of stupid” by people who know all about such things.

Super Science Friends was created by Brett Jubinville, animated by a lot of talented people at Tinman Creative Studios, and was successfully kickstarted November 2014. It features a team of time-travelling super scientists led by Winston Churchill who travel through time fighting nazis, zombies and all manner of sciency villains!
