Animator Morgan Miller (Vacuum Attraction) has created a new film featuring his character, “Jeff Twiller”, discussing his obsession with Teela from the old Filmation He-Man cartoons, “poking fun at the strange world of You Tube and this phenomenon of the ‘tribute video’….” 8 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, He-Man, Morgan Miller

That’s a quote from this article about the popularity of the Hub’s My Little Pony series with adult men, who call themselves “Bronies.” And no, it’s not an article from The Onion. 164 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, TV, Lauren Faust, My Little Pony, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

If you’re a Popeye fan, you might appreciate these. Israeli shoe designer Kobi Levi creates incredible one-of-a-kind artistic footwear – and his blog is a lot of fun to explore. Check out this pair inspired by Segar’s Olive Oyl:

A new book written by French academic Antoine Bueno suggests that the Smurfs are racist and spread anti-Semitism. In Le Petit livre bleu (The Little Blue Book) Bueno tries to demonstrate that their community “is an archetype of a totalitarian utopia, full of Stalinism and Nazism”. He claims racism is clearly evident in the story Black Smurfs where purity of blood is vital – and brown is ugly – and that in The Smurfette the blond Aryan is idealized. 59 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Smurfs

You can click on the above image to see the full mural – and to see each character in detail, watch the 15-minute video below. 41 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Andres Silva, makinita

Last weekend, Profiles in History in conjunction with Van Eaton Galleries (disclosure: they are an advertiser on Cartoon Brew) staged a massive animation art auction. I’m not a collector, but found it fascinating to browse through the auction results and see what prices the lots commanded as well as what pieces didn’t sell (for example, lots of Fantasia art). Here’s a sampling of twenty pieces and how much each sold for. The last few prices are staggering. 26 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Classic, Animation Art, auction, Cels, Model Sheets, Tex Avery, Van Eaton Galleries

Couldn’t let the weekend pass without sharing the latest episode of The Ambiguously Gay Duo from this week’s Saturday Night Live. This episode goes live-action with Steve Carell, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Fallon and Steven Colbert – never has a live action version of a cartoon been so accurate: (Thanks, Ed Austin) |
