Keyframe is a good resource for all things animation. It features a list of online shorts, TV series, even direct to video animated releases. The Coming Soon section is helpful to see what animated features are floating around out there. The usual mix of ‘can’t wait to see’ and titles that no one is sure [...]

Animation Monday can’t get much better than this.
A clip on Youtube from the amazing Triplets of Belleville. One of my favorite sequences. The ship crossing the ocean as the grandmother follows behind.
I watched this film twice the past month while working. Draw a little, watch a little, draw a little, watch a little… My [...]

I had the pleasure of creating a few minutes of traditional animation for a documentary made by Chris Taylor in association with November Films. It’s called Food Fight, and it shines a spotlight on American eating habits. They just launched a new website for the film and you can visit!
It’s one of those important [...]

A series of clips from Disney films pulled together by someone for their animation class. It collects their favorite clips from 1920 - 1960. It includes a snip from Elmar Elephant (1936) which I have had a hard time finding anywhere. It’s been on Youtube for 2 years, but I just found it. Man…Some [...]

A link to some short animations from Serge Bloch. He is also an illustrator, one of my favorite illustrators, and you can see his work here. Beautiful line work, funny, inspirational. His style reminds me of another of my all time favorites Javier Mariscal.
This collection of animation uses his style. I’m not sure if [...]

The Sblog has lots of great scanned images and info about classical/traditional [...]

It’s animation time here on my illustration blog. Is that weird? Animation and illustration together? Like peanut butter and bananas?
Well, no intro really needed for Chris Sanders. The co-director of Lilo and Stitch , who is now hard at work at Dreamworks on a new film (I think developed from a John Cleese pitch, [...]

I was going to post the link and talk about the clip for the new Laika Animated film, Coraline, but it’s been all over the place, and basically the debate boils down to people who like stop motion and want it to look more stop-motiony, and those who don’t. I think it’s hard to sell [...]

Back on schedule. Animation Monday will be posted on Sunday as I won’t be posting on Monday. So here is animation Monday!
Pencil tests. You Tube offers a great variety of pencil tests. Some are copies of original test shoots by animators, others are, I would guess, reshoots of cycles and scenes when someone finds or [...]

I just saw this again, I had forgot. But after my posting last week about animated films by independent directors, well, Wes Anderson IS making an animated film, so I guess we will find out what happens when he directs an animated feature film!
“Wes Anderson’s upcoming animated comedy The Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on the [...]
