Amazing Animation! - The Sandman

Right in time for Sandman overture but with absolutely no connection (or is there?)! This creepy European cartoon is

Amazing Animation! - Alma

Pixar animator, Rodrigo Blaas directed this eery short that uses cuteness to augment it's creepy. Alma is outside and sees a doll that bears her uncanny resemblance. What curiosities await here in the shop? This is the first of ten spooky cartoons this month. Don't worry: they get scarier.

Amazing Animation: Dot and the Line

Amazing Animation brings you a curated cartoon every Monday and Friday 

Relive the classic Chuck Jones cartoon, The Dot and the Line! One of my favorite cartoons of all time, this touching love story is also one of the most artful articulation of animation's power. Motion, dot, and line. This is what makes cartoons. Chuck Jones deconstructs the artform to amazing effect. Perfect!

Amazing Animation: Bee & Puppycat!

Amazing Animation brings you a curated cartoon every Monday and Friday.

Natasha Allegri, a storyboard artist for Adventure Time and the creator/comic-writer of Fiona and Cake, released an awesome new show on Frederator's Cartoon Hangover. It's perfect! How could you not love a cartoon where the first scene the main character gets fired and harassed by donut munching cops? The show goes far-out, but stays for a subtle, real world type of humor. The visual influences include, classic Myazaki, Sailor Moon, Ranma 1/2; but the humor is a drier Adventure Time. The digital sound effects create a nice rhythm for the jokes. for every joke. Do you hear Tom Kenny as the bug and monster? Puppycat is a voiced by a vocaloid, which is a weird synthesizer voice program! Check it out! I ever so hope this cartoon gets more episodes! 

Amazing Animation: Space Ghost meets Batman!

Amazing Animation: Here's a great cartoon worth spotlighting. Find more on Mondays & Fridays!

I love starting off blog-columns with Space Ghost! This new cartoon one is no exception. Batman: The Brave & The Bold is a cartoon targeted toward younger viewers, but gained an older audience because of it's willingness to showcase esoteric DC heroes who could never have a cartoon of their own (Blue Beetle, Metamorpho, Bat-Mite!). In 2011, Paul Dini and friends wrote Space Ghost into the series. As it turns out, Batman has a totally badass space ship, he can breath without oxygen, and he's friends with Space Ghost. This cartoon is probably the best Space Ghost has looked in any of his cartoon-iteration; in the old 1960s Saturday morning series, he usually used one power per episode as to not go over budget. In this cartoon, he uses every power in his arsenal to stop the space dinosaurs. The cartoon ends with a really morbid pun. Check it out!
