 Sad, but true… Ain’t It Cool News has posted the awful one sheet poster to the live action UNDERDOG movie coming out next summer. Directed by Frederik Du Chau (Quest For Camelot, Racing Stripes), the film stars Jason Lee (My Name Is Earl) as “Shoeshine Boy”. Silly me, I was hoping for something more along the lines of the image below.  No Comments » posted in Old Brew

Stop-motion animation teacher/historian Ken Priebe (The Art of Stop Motion Animation) has posted on YouTube what he calls “the creepiest puppet film ever made”, an experimental piece by filmmaker Len Lye in 1933. Don’t watch it with the lights off… No Comments » posted in Old Brew, Len Lye

 The sixth in a series of holiday gift-giving suggestions from your pals at Cartoon Brew.The big video event this week for Disney buffs is the release of the new Disney Treasures wave – particularly the incredible must-have More Silly Symphonies (take my word for it – you want this!). However, Inkwell Images just released a perfect companion piece which will also make a great gift (to yourself or that animation geek closest to your heart), The Legendary Laugh-O-Grams Fairy Tales. I just got my copy and it may be Ray Pointer’s best release yet. The DVD contains exceptional copies of four of Disney’s earliest known cartoon shorts (from 1922 – way before Mickey, Oswald and Alice). Bonus materials include Disney’s first educational film, Tommy Tuckers Tooth (also from ‘22) and an excerpt of a rare audio interview with Laugh-O-Gram employee Rudy Ising. Perfect accompaniment to the above mentioned Silly Symphonies dvd and Neal Gabler’s excellent new Disney biography. Cartoon Brew Holiday Gift Guide No Comments » posted in Old Brew
