Hell-o! This time (delayed due to rumba and cha cha cha modem) Senor Tonto tosses you a pair of reports, all devoted to animation on-line ...
CHUCK THAT'S FOLKS!
few days ago has unfortunately passed away due to a heart attack Chuck Jones , total genius in the history of animation. In many of the Warner cartoons infused shock of frantic screwball humor, narrative rhythms are altered, and retro graphics and its brain cells from his hand and saw the light, for example, the French skunk Pepe Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Wile E. Coyote, the animated version of the Grinch by Dr. Seuss, the hairy mostrone Gossammer and whimsical singing Michigan J. Frog Frog.
The last project ever turns out to be Chuck Jones "Timber Wolf" , cardboard on-line (opened in autumn 2001) designed for the site of the Warner and he realized with the help of specialists in web-toons Atomic Cartoons. The protagonist of the series is in fact Thomas T. Wolf, lupastro unfortunate and eternally haunted by the trees that fall for him every time he utters his middle name, or the Timber "Caaadeee" of American foresters. The last wolf of Chuck Jones is dragged into the woods in his life as a situation comedy, led by a rogue squirrel Earl Squirrell (his voice is that of Nancy Cartwright, the actress who in america has even Bart Simpson), the Rose and Scarlet scoiattolessa Mock apprentice Loopy and other animals. Timber Wolf is quite fun, the good old days at Warner with slapstick gags and adorable stupidity au go-go, however, are far away. Honor, however, Chuck!
To learn more about the great animator can you get her two splendid autobiographies "Chuck Amuck" and "Chuck Reducks" or trace the Italian recent book "The Cinema of Chuck Jones' (published by The Beaver and care Michele Fadda and Fabrizio Liberti).
TROMA IN A COMA
The crazy brains Troma , A production company famous for the horror movies now on the verge of bloody dementia, have also thrown headlong into the realm of cartoons on-line with a handful of raw (and it's a euphemism) in the series official website of the company . It is not the first time that the nightmares of Troma are animated: the early '90s, the hero par excellence, Troma, The Toxic Avenger (a nerd who is transformed by some toxic waste in a fetid zombie super hero) arrives inexplicably in the television schedules, in a rereading of course suitable for children in the fashion of the period (the inglorious "ninja turtle was"), with short series "The Toxic Crusaders" . Bleach!
eatin 'MUFFIN FILMS
I muffins and pastries are of order in the States, often vaguely chemical because of the many preparations (Betty Crocker in mind, never forget the blueberries in the bag summary prepared by me). The young animator Amy Winfrey has designed for his thesis during the UCLA Animation Workshop, a concept of 12 animations entirely focused on the muffins. The site "Muffin Films offers an entire pan of naive humor and cartoons featuring a stylized graphics muffins with ghosts, trees, muffins, muffins unidentified flying existential drama, stop-motion and other bakery found almost ... all rather delicious, unlike the real treats.
QUISPY SPUMCO
The Spumco John Kricfalusi, fierce defender of cartoons in flash for advertising on the Internet, produced as a spot online for cereals Quispe animated adventure with the same name Martian mascot, now tenaciously venerated by nostalgic baby-boomers of the '60s! Will our hero to avoid a meteorite ruin your breakfast a lovely little family Yankees? Of course, you'll have ... and I also order a box of Quispe to the remarkable figure of $ 9 (they are only online, not in supermarkets).
RUST BOY, AHOY!
"Rust Boy" is a work in progress by Brian Taylor, is a computer animated movie made in a style linked to the three-dimensional stop-motion and traditional debtor certainly lessons Tim Burton and Jan Svankmayer . Some fragments of the project are visible in the site (for Quicktime friendly computers) along with storyboards, sketches and various sketches.
3 OBSESSIONS ANIMATE, 3 private obsessions
The cartoons that in my miserable life I was intrigued and inspired are Tantini (various mangaggini not included, sorry!), But lately I am obsessed three in particular. The first is the sixties and focuses on QT Hush ("Private Eye") strange little man that round ends meet as a detective in absurd cases Shamus ("Private Nose"), his hound dog by the shrill voice; absolute gem of cartoons were smashing sound bizarre and the long shadow of the little detective, hidden in a Waterproof and always provided with a fat cigar, stood out by taking their own lives and investigated independently. Then there Gerald Mc Boing Boing , children (invented by the mad Dr. Seuss) of the fabulous cartoon stylized Robert Cannon of UPA for its innovative: he did not speak and could only communicate by emitting noises, then become famous and appreciated as sound source for the special effects of a western radio show. Last cartoon me gusta much is the dark and surreal "Norman Normal" Alex Lovy, Warner Bros. signed the 1968 experiment where the eponymous protagonist (tormented by a rock band that plays constantly in the lead) is participating in a dream of his party office where he discusses with a colleague from the head covered by a thick shade. And what are your obsessions animated most curious? Svelatemelo and issued a report on this very weblog.
Hello and see you soon!
