Ghettomation Guru Jim Lujan

Labels:
    Heroes don't take vacations. Crime does not nap.
    Apparently, neither does indy animator Jim Lujan!



    Jim Lujan is making some of the best indy animation around; he calls it Ghettomation. No fancy stuff. Just good stories, compelling characters and awesome funked-out art.

    Here's my very favorite Lujanimation: FreakDaddy!



    I've been meaning to post his stuff for a long time, but I can find the words to explain how much his cartoons rock my world. So check it out for yerself right here, on Jim's YouTube channel:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/jimlujan

    He's even got a couple of DVD's out ...


    Jim Lujan is a one-man animation studio -- he writes, draws, animates, does all voices and music too! And he just keeps going and going. Jim's been making cartoons for years...sometimes there's a new one every six weeks or so!

    See how happy they make me?
    As you can see in this cartoon, Hittin' Switchez," Jim has a marvelous way of capturing the bleak suburban strip-mall culture of southern California. A totally unique take on the weirdness of the real world...



    His DIY "get-it-done-and-move-on-to-the-next-cartoon" ethos has inspired me greatly. And he's a swell dude, too. Get a glimpse at his creative process in these cool interviews:
    http://jlu3.blogspot.com/p/interviews.html Jim and I even did a podcast together: Sherm's Ghettomation episode!



    Check out all of Jim Lujan's  Ghettomation goodness at:


    Tell him Freakdaddy sent you.

Bill Nolan’s Oswald Cartoons!

Labels:
    I really love the old silent Disney "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" cartoons! The story about how Disney lost his first creation is heartbreaking, and the story about how Disney got Oswald back after 80 years is miraculous and hilarious. 
    Disney Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Trolley Troubles
    But this isn't about the Disney Oswalds. Let's take a look at the Oswald cartoons made by Walter Lantz and Bill Nolan.

    I had no interest at all in seeing the Walter Lantz Oswalds... until I found out that they featured the amazing work of one of the greatest animation pioneers ever: Bill Nolan.



    Bill Nolan is one of the hugest unsung heroes and animation -- is often credited with creating the rubber hose style of cartoons.
    Bill Nolan Cartooning Book self Taught
    It was Bill Nolan that helped Otto Mesmer refined Felix the Cat into the bouncy, round, cartoony character that he became in the mid-20s.
    Bill Nolan How to Draw Cartoon Animals Bill Nolan basically helped Otto Mesmer create the classic old-school animation style.

    Here are some of the cartoons that I fell in love with at the ASIFA Hollywood Animation Archive. If you're not already aware, the famous animation archive is located in Burbank, and you can walk right in and watch enough classic cartoons to keep you busy between now and the next ice age.

My Latest DVD purchase…

Labels:

    Roger Ramjet DVD

    Roger Ramjet – Hero of our Nation! I rented some of these cartoons about a year ago. Lots of fun! I remember being amazed at the pure appeal of the character designs, and the amazing economy of the animation. I mean…if anything moved, it happened OFF-SCREEN! And it worked ^_^

    Hopefully the DVD will arrive soon, and I’ll report back with all the juicy details.

Dizzy Dishes (1930) Betty Boop's First FUN Appearance

Labels:

,
    Back when Betty Boop was a dog and Bimbo was tall: It's one of my favorite Fleischer cartoons, "Dizzy Dishes," animated by Grim Natwick (creator of Betty Boop) and Ted Sears.

    Look at the LOVE as Bimbo the waiter dances across the floor to take an order. I love how he takes a bow for the applause meant for the chorus girls! And check out the freaky painting at 1:03 ...and that song! as each customer barks his order in turn: "One roast lamb!"..."I vant HAM!" The ending is as ridiculous and surreal as you would expect from early Fleischer cartoons.

    I love the unpolished vocal performances, too. At times Bimbo talks without even ANY attempt at making his lips sync...or even move at all. The Fleischers new that "funny" was more important than "polished," even though oftentimes they had both.

    This is just one of those cartoons I can watch over and over ^_^ Every time I see it I discover gags and visual treats I had never noticed before.

    If you click on the video (after it starts playing) it'll jump you to YouTube where you can watch it BIGGER. Which I recommend. If you have a good connection, click on the red HQ button to see it in the best quality. Now that YouTube has grown up in quality, there are seemingly thousands of fun and rare cartoons waiting to be discovered there. ENJOY!

    Other favorites from the same era: Barnacle Bill and Bimbo's Initiation
