A remix of the new Looney Tunes Show by HotFriedSkadoosh. Apparently, the kids today call these “YouTube Poops”. Old people, like us, call them remixes or mash-ups. Same difference. (Thanks, Martin Juneau) 53 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, TV, The Looney Tunes Show

Russian animator Egor Zhgun mashed up audio from Disney’s Three Little Pigs and an Angry Birds graphic style to create Three Big Pigs, an explanation of the situation in the Middle East. It’s a testament to the iconic quality and staying power of Walt Disney’s filmmaking that, nearly eighty years after the fact, one of his shorts can be successfully remixed in a new context. 7 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Disney, Flash, Shorts, Angry Birds, Egor Zhgun, Russia, Three Little Pigs

And while we’re on the subject, a shout-out to the heroic and courageous people of Libya, who are not only fighting the good fight to topple a dictatorship, but are also using the time-honored tradition of caricature to humiliate their crackpot leader. Below are some of the best examples I’ve seen so far from Libya. If you have your own Qaddafi caricatures, share them in the comments.
UPDATE: Some fantastic contributions from Brew readers. Share yours in the comments. By “Ink Dipper” By Ridd By OtherDan By Susette 17 Comments » posted in Cartoon Culture, Qaddafi
