Someone at CalArts made this too:
Its a student fanfilm of Jim Reardon's. Remember when CalArts used to be known for edgy, groundbreaking animation aimed at adults instead of cartoons filled with bendy-armed, beanmouth characters aimed at dangerhairs and manchildren?

This was a classic! I'm sure nobody at CalArts these days has the balls to do something like that again! Reminded of another Jim Reardon classic!

Jim Reardon was one of the Simpsons' finest directors next to David Silverman, Lauren Macmullan, and (nowadays) Matthew Faughan. I'm pretty sure the Simpsons is a show where the directors draw the animatics, but if you look at Jim Reardon's episode, there was some sort of distinct traits about the way he drew the characters. Whenever he directed an episode, he always added more detail to the movement of the characters. Homer was more doofy and expressive, Marge looked more feminine, the kids looked more juvenile, I feel as if even if he wasn't as expressive or cinematic as the other directors, there was always more detail. He was sort of like the Friz Freleng of Simpsons directors.

It was finished in February of last year. What I heard was that apparently The Jungle Movie didn't perform as well as Nick wanted, so they sat on it until they decided to put it on Netflix, where these things don't matter.

Sounds so typical in these situations. At least we'll finally see it.

Spongebob turned 20 this week.
Nick ran this shit into the ground (and then some), but nothing can change the fact the first three seasons of Spongebob are some of the best cartoons they ever produced. Its weird to think that the first couple of seasons had tons of cred on college campuses. Especially now, 20 years later, when the people who grew up on Spongebob are going to college and probably care less about it than the people who discovered it in college all those years ago.

I was there the night Spongebob premiered on Nick interestingly enough.
I was only 9 years old, it's crazy to think it's still going and I'm pushing 30.
One thing about Spongebob and this is something I've never really seen pointed out, but is it me or was tropical, ocean, aquatic, beach stuff particularly trendy at the turn of the millennium? I seem to remember a lot of t shirts with floral designs, spring break was a really big thing for the 20 something crowd, Nintendo released a Mario and Zelda that were tropical themed and so on.
And of course, you had Spongebob, but that doesn't seem to be trend that was pointed out as a trend.

Technically it turned twenty back in May, but this is when it started airing regularly.

The second movie was pretty good. Also, I sorta liked that live segment, mainly because it was just heartwarming to see the actors still enjoying their roles after all these years

Watched Rock & Rule last night. The characters felt underdeveloped, but the animation and soundtrack definitely make up for it- it's like Don Bluth and Ralph Bakshi collaborated in an explosive Heavy Metal tribute, complete with a dystopian setting and trippy effects! Also, Omar a cute.
I remember reading the Den story when I torrented the magazine a while back. That and Taarna were my favorites in the movie as well.

Wasn't there a female Ninja Turtle named Venus de Milo before her? I heard she wasn't received very well, as was the live-action TV adaption she appeared in.

The name alone bugs me, it doesn't sound like the Italian Renaissance to me.
