The NY Daily News has posted a fantastic 46-image, 70+ year photo history of Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade cartoon balloon characters. Check out image #15 – Behind the dachshund balloon, is a wraparound 2 story 3-D neon, Times Square billboard for Kleenex tissues featuring Little Lulu from 1950. Image #18 shows the Popeye balloon in 1957, #21 contains Superman from 1966, and other photos include Linus the Lionhearted, Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Betty Boop, and Woody Woodpecker.

Don’t let the title of this post scare you. We haven’t started stalking any animation artists (not yet at least). Thanks to Apartment Therapy, everybody can have a (legal) peek into the quintessentially midcentury LA home of Seonna Hong, who is currently the art director of Nick’s The Mighty B and has done background painting on My Life as a Teenage Robot, Powerpuff Girls and Teacher’s Pet, among other shows. 7 Comments » posted in Animators, Cartoon Culture

The image above comes from a London art exhibit, Splatter, which we reported here last month. The show has now closed (yesterday was the last day) but in case you missed it, artist James Cauty has posted several pics from the opening and slashfilm.com has posted several more. And if that isn’t enough, Cauty is selling exclusive merchandise here. My only question: is this stuff authorized by Warner Bros.? (Thanks, Steve Gordon) 59 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture

The New York Times, Playbill and several other news sources are reporting on plans, just announced, for a Betty Boop musical supposedly en route to Broadway. Of course, Betty’s been there before. She was created by Grim Natwick at Fleischer Studios at 1600 Broadway in 1930. The new musical production, according to reports: …will feature music by 15-time Grammy Award winner David Foster, with book by Sally Robinson and Oscar Williams. The show is planning to debut on Broadway in the 2010-2011 season at a Nederlander theatre to be announced. I wish they’d use a few Sammy Timberg songs… but hey, all I hope is that publicity generated from news of this production is so great it might finally give someone the idea to release a complete collection of the vintage Boop cartoons on DVD.

Never thought I’d be posting about High School Musical 3, but I noticed this ad in yesterday’s paper and just had to comment. Is that the bouncing ball I see at the top of the ad? Isn’t the “bouncing ball” property (or at least Intellectual Property) of Fleischer Studios or possibly Paramount Pictures? Even if they aren’t actually using the “Famous Bouncing Ball” in the Sing-along HSM3, isn’t it interesting that they use this iconic image – one created by Fleischer Studios – in their advertising? Just asking.

A Norwegian radio host asked voice actor Harry Shearer about what various Simpsons characters thought about the upcoming US election. The video’s funniest moment is unintentional though: it’s when a black guy walks into the room as Shearer is doing the voice of Dr. Hibbert. |
