Found a hilarious commercial in a visit to No Fat Clips blog.

It's a campaign made for Berlitz Language School by DDB Berlin.

Edit: link to the actual lyrics

 

After reading this post on Keith Lango's blog about the superb work done by Bobe Cannon in The Dover Boys (1942), directed by Chuck Jones, I have found out this awesome blog run by Kevin Langley: Cartoons, Model Sheets and Stuff. It's a goldmine for everyone who loves cartoons, and does exactly what the title says. I wonder how could he got all those originals...

Our bookmark list is growing bigger every day. =D

And, please, don't miss all the information discussed in the comments of Keith's post.

 

Pure gold. Definitely for your bookmarks.

I have found an interesting blog, from a musician ( identified just as Josh), who is embarking on a research project in which he'll be studying visual representations of jazz in animated film.

I liked a lot the opinions expressed on his posts, and found it interesting to read about animation from a non-animator point of view.

Among his posts, there is a very cool one about one of my all-time favorite shorts: Three Little Bops, directed by Friz Freleng in 1957.

If you like both animation and jazz, now you have a new link for your bookmarks.

(The link on "Three Little Bops" now points to the YouTube video. Thanks a lot, Kernon!)

Is now online the Peach Project's blog, from Blender Foundation.

This is the second (ever) open movie project and, after it's finished, everyone will have access to the source files for studying. The script will be different from the first one (Elephants Dream) and will have a "cartoony" approach, with fluffy and cute bunnies. ;)

The team is made by very talented Blender artists and programmers from around the world:

Lyubomir Kovachev (Bulgaria)
Sacha “Sago” Goedegebure (Netherlands)
Andy Goralczyk (Germany)
Enrico “EnV” Valenza (Italy)
Nathan “Cessen” Vegdahl (USA)
Brecht van Lommel (Belgium)
Campbell “Ideasman42″ Barton (Australia)
Ton Roosendaal (of course ;D) (Netherlands)

As the first project's blog, this one will be an invaluable source of information on the daily routine of an animation studio.
