Cartoon Network 20th Birthday by ILoveDust

Holy mother of… Cartoon Network in 20 years old, and they’re celebrating big with this video reuniting 20-years-worth of CN characters. I recognize most of them (even if it’s not by name), but I wish there was more variety of characters shown (I know, I know… not really practical), but there should have been more of the older characters in Cartoon Cartoon’s old day past.

The Cartoon Network YouTube Channel is not available to me :(

Dishonored by Psyop

This, you have to admit, is pretty darn good-looking.

Psyop is doing a series — in all honesty, it’s only three webisodes — as prequel to a video game, and decided to do the animation by hand with some 3D enhancements.

A Fox Tale

Back in 2009, a group of French animation students did a short taking on Peruvian culture (and doing it better). This year, a fresh new batch of French animation students are taking on China with their short, A Fox Tale.

Animal spirits are mischievous little creatures… and humans can be idiots. xD

Directed by Thomas Bozovic, Alexandre Cazals, Julien Legay, Chao Ma.
Music by Guy-Roger Duvert

Paper War by Zhang Zhe

Not only is China conquering Olympic gold, but apparently animation school over there is taking huge leaps compared to what actually was/is — Legend of a Rabbit, I’m looking at you [1].

Until I ran into this link to YinYueTai on Weibo.

Here comes Zhang Zhe (张喆) — I can tell these Mandarin classes are paying off — whose animation, titled Paper War (纸片战记), is of the mixed media kind and took 9-freaking-months to make at The Animation and Digital Arts School of the Communication University of China (中国传媒大学).

You can check some posts on Peruvian animation~

Yu Aoi, Tokyo Disney, and Narration

More Yu Aoi narration work, this time for a 30sec. animated commercial for Tokyo Disney Resort… “where dreams come true,” that carries more of a storyline than some of the movies we watch in theaters. LOL

I hope Yu-chan doesn’t only focus on narration work in the future, coz I’d be pure disappoint. But as I’ve noted before, she’s developed her narration voice now. She’s expanding her voice range.

How to Train Your Dragon – Live Projections

This is just amazing.

A show of live projections, puppets, and music was developed to put on a How to Train your Dragon performance. It brought memories of Walking with Dinosaurs [1]… but, you know, with digital displays.

I don’t know what I would think of it if I were a kid… I know I probably complain about how kids don’t know how to be kids any longer, but things like this make me want to be a kid to experience it like I should. xD

La Queue de la Souris – A Mouse’s Tale

I found this… seems to be pretty old considering this YouTube upload, but the animation style is still nifty. The Vimeo version doesn’t have a logo and is much MUCH crisper. I don’t know who did the animation though.
