2004 POLITICAL ANIMATION

retro
In addition to the hilarious Jibjab.com This Land Is Your Land webtoon making the rounds, is this clever 7 minute 30s-style black & white cartoon, "Brother Can You Spare a Job?" by Tom Neely and Greg Saunders.

The short version (30 seconds) of this film was a "Best Animation" finalist in MoveOn.org's "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest. This new full-length version is packed with the same Max Fleisher, Chuck Jones and Charlie Chaplin inspiration and style.

Neely and Saunders will be at the comic con this week, selling the cartoon on dvd ($6 to cover the production costs) and giving away posters at booth #1620.
