This is what they did for Halloween at Pixar yesterday. (PS: “Michael” is none other than Alex Woo.) UPDATE: Mike Frederickson and Nick Pitera were impressive yesterday too: UPDATE 2: Here’s a photo gallery of different costumes worn by Pixarians at the studio’s Halloween show.

After the stress of judging the Ottawa International Animation Festival (more about that soon), I decided to unwind for a few days in the much more lively Canadian city of Montreal. Even there, I couldn’t escape cartoons. I stumbled upon this large and unconventional graffiti mural that incorporates vintage cartoon characters like Bosko, Honey, Betty Boop, Buddy, and Krazy Kat.The mural, which is a good eighty feet long, gives more visibility to these characters than anything their parent studios have done with them in a long time. If you want to see the piece in person, it’s off of rue St. Catherine, a few blocks east of rue St. Denis. Otherwise, click on the image below to see my quick-and-dirty stitch job of the mural.

Here’s the scariest thing you’ll see all month: This Jib Jab Halloween Sendable incorporates new technology which allows users to cast themselves inside cool props (like a Frankenstein head or the Wolfman) and color correct their faces if they choose. That’s Uncle Walt as Frankenstein, June Foray (as the Bride), Ward Kimball (as Dracula) and John Lasseter unrecognizable as the Wolfman. Try it yourself here. P.S. Artist Justin Parpan did all the backgrounds for this piece and just posted a personal blog with his artwork here. (Thanks, Evan Spiridellis)

Vistors to Kobe Japan will now be greeted by the sight of a 60-foot statue of Gigantor (Testsujin 28-go, to those in the know). This follows the unveiling of a 59-foot Gundam in Tokyo. Not to be left out, Korea is building a gigantic Taekwon V statue (aka Voltar the Invincible), that will reportedly be more than twice the height of the Statue of Liberty. Is there any chance we can construct a 60-foot Frankenstein Jr. in Manhattan? (via Gizmodo, by way of The Beat)

Comedienne Merrill Markoe mashed up a Peter Lorre track from “M” with a Hanna Barbera cartoon, did her own English translation, and added some music by Andy Prieboy. And now it’s all so clear…

NY animator Chrissy Fellmeth recently got an awesome tattoo that seamlessly combines two of my biggest passions: cartoons and kebabs. Click on the image below to get a closer look at Chrissy’s original tattoo design and the finished work on the back of her leg.
