It’s Kenya 2? Somalia is right next to Kenya, where all your goods are… It’s another entertaining Weebls toon based on recent news of Somalia pirates causing trouble. Off the coast of Somalia, they got piraaaaaaaaates… (Forget Long John!)
Well, Hello Wall-E! If you enjoyed the funny romantic comedy Wall-E, you’ll be glad it’s now out on DVD! Wall-E is a great family film with it’s most impressive aspect being the depth of emotion conveyed by a simple robot. If you haven’t seen it, watch it. If you have seen it, I know you’ll want to watch it again. (I know I want to.) It’s “Buy n Large” the best animated film of the year. Pixar will keep you and the kids captivated with Wall-E.
It’s on my Xmas list, why not put it on yours? Go buy your copy today! 
Be prepared for another awesome animated movie from DreamWorks, in theaters March 27, 2009. Watch the trailer for Monsters vs. Aliens and expect to get hooked. They’re producing it in real 3-D, so here’s hoping a nearby theater has it, otherwise I’ll be watching it in regular D. Either way, I’m looking forward to this movie.
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young California girl named Susan Murphy and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years. As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger, on a desperate order from The President, the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction!
I think Insectosaurus and B.O.B. will be popular characters. Thanks to Shawn from Branded in the 80′s for bringing this to my attention.
The Drinky Crow Show is the new original series slated to debut on Adult Swim Nov. 23, 2008 at 12:15 a.m. (ET/PT). The animated series is based on show creator Tony Millionaire’s award-winning, syndicated comic strip Maakies and stars Drinky, a suicidal crow with a drinking problem, and Gabby, a depraved monkey. The two are crew members aboard the SS Maakies, and together they go on a number of misadventures. From co-creators and executive producers Tony Millionaire and Eric Kaplan, The Drinky Crow Show originally aired in May 2007 as part of Adult Swim’s Night of 1,000 Pilots and quickly became a viewer favorite.
The first episode to air is entitled Beer Goggles. It’s comedy is dark, existential and quite entertaining. So if you’re old enough, I think you should watch it. Another cool thing is that the series theme song is performed by They Might Be Giants. And you know when they do the theme song for a show – you know it’ll be a winner!
This animated short, directed by Anthony Lucas, is the first of a trilogy. Simply put – it’s an impressive, original piece of animation about a journey into the dark heart of man.
Set in a world of iron airships, this silhouette animation tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his plague-ridden home hoping to redeem himself. His expedition leads him to an island which is home to a monster that may hold the cure for the Plague. The journey back is filled with dangers but, Jasper soon discovers that the greatest horror of all lies within man himself.
Check out The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello.
Did you catch the recent episodes of the animated Clone Wars TV shows on Cartoon Network? I did and they weren’t all that bad. I’m not a Star Wars nerd and I’m well above the target demographic, but if these episodes are any hint as to what we can expect, then I’ll continue to watch. I mean it was cool seeing Yoda fighting and dismantling tanks in the first episode. The animation was well done and very fluid. I didn’t expect to enjoy it, but I did. I’ll be watching it again next Friday @ 9pm.
You also might have noticed the huge displays for The Clone Wars toys at your local store. If not, it is located right behind the massive swarm of people. I saw an entire section and endcap covered with the stuff, including loads of captivated fans.
As you might have known, the ever popular Making Fiends web cartoon, that was created by Amy Winfrey, is now on Nicktoons. These new episodes were made in the same style and technique as the web cartoon, but are much more detailed for TV. The show premiered in the U.S. on Nicktoons yesterday at 11:30 AM EST (8:30 AM PST). If you missed the show don’t worry, they’ll be on every Saturday morning. Be sure to check out the updated Making Fiends site for yourself.
In January 2009 two of the most famous battles in Marvel’s comic book history are finally being brought to life: Hulk vs Thor and Hulk vs Wolverine. (My personal classic Marvel fight would be Hulk vs Wolverine when it was 1st told in issue 181 of The Incredible Hulk.) You can check out the new Hulk vs. Wolverine trailer and be sure to see the whole thing at San Diego Comic-Con 2008! That’s right! The world premiere screening takes place on Thursday July 24th at 4:15PM in Hall H.
You can be sure I’ll be there!
I went and saw the Kung Fu Panda movie over this past weekend and really enjoyed it. I don’t know if it was just the hilarity of Jack Black, the splendid and rich animation, or the action packed well written storyline – I think the movie rocked. The theater was half packed with kids and they were loving it too. Go see it if you haven’t already, I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll learn some cool new Kung Fu moves you can use to impress your friends and family. Prepare for awesomeness.
It’s been awhile but it was worth the wait – so get ready for another wonderful story from It’s JerryTime! This time around we find Jerry taking the plane. Bad airlines can make you insane and I’m sure you can relate to Jerry’s dislike of air travel. He said that the last leg of his flight was like the Twilight Zone’s Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. (Capt. Kirk seeing men in fuzzy suits reminds me of Star Trek.)
