From the “Isn’t This Incestuous Dep’t.”: At the recent Tokyo Animation Fair, Toei Animation, Aniplex and Cartoon Network announced a new series tentatively titled DAMESHITAA! POWERPUFF GIRLS Z. So the POWERPUFF GIRLS, an American cartoon that was originally inspired by Japanese anime, has now been optioned by the Japanese and translated back into a very conventional-looking piece of TV anime. Noticeable differences in the new version are that the Powerpuff Girls are now older, have fingers instead of stub-hands, carry weapons, and the Professor has been turned into an angry-looking preschooler.

 The Girls Productions is a new animation company founded by illustrator/painter Amanda Visell and writer Michelle Valigura. Both of them used to work in stop motion as sculptors and fabricators, but they’re now developing their own animation projects. Currently posted on their site are a number of Visell’s paintings, which have a playful quality with pleasing colors and shapes. There are promises of more content to come.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF CHARLIE BROWN is an amusing late-’80s student film parodying the Charlie Brown animated specials. When I first watched it, I thought it really felt like a CalArts film, and indeed the credits reveal that it is, but what’s interesting to note is that it’s the student film of longtime SIMPSONS director Jim Reardon.

Mark Arnold supplied us with this photo taken last week. Asifa-Hollywood is in discussions with the Ward estate in efforts to save the sign. |
