Corny Gets Aid

Tina Price of the Creative Talent Network went to Cal Arts on Tuesday and gave Corny Cole a check on behalf of the animation community. Cole, a veteran animator and educator, lost his home and possessions in a fire last month. CTN’s online fundraiser raised $12,168 thanks to the donations of his many colleagues, fans and students (and quite a few Cartoon Brew readers). Photos of Corny receiving the funds are posted here.

Our sincere best wishes to Corny Cole!

    I was fortunate enough to be in his class when they brought him his check. It was very touching. Hehe… Corny made jokes that he would take the money and flee to Mexico.

    Tell Corny I have copies of some of his old (political) artwork he had given me 20 years ago, and I would be happy to hand them off to him if he would like!!! (Also, a very funny original caricature of hime talking “surfing”, by the equally funny Alfred Gimeno!!!

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I hope Kung Fu Panda sweeps this year’s Annies and Oscars. I found it more entertaining than WALL-E and in terms of design, it is hands down the boldest looking animated feature released this year, period. WALL-E is impressive but the Kung Fu design is truly inspired. Surely the best looking movie to come out of Dreamworks. I hope it at least sweeps in the design categories. In this case, I think Pixar can take a lesson from Dreamworks. Kung Fu Panda is a great CG “cartoon”, with design that is caricatured, appealing and not limited by photo-realism. Kudos to the Panda crew. Having worked on Incredibles, I know that trying something different can be a huge challenge. I don’t know how you guys did it. But you raised the bar."
