Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Art, Artist on December 14, 2011

If Adventure Time ever got a live-action movie treatment we have a hope it looks half as awesome as Phil Noto’s vision.

Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Interviews, Just Freaking Neat, Television, Trailers on March 31, 2010

We’re finding tons of lovely things today. You just don’t know. Something’s in the air and it smells of awesomesauce… Do people still say that?

Below is an interview by The Bobby Miller with Pen Ward. Ward is the creator of Cartoon Network’s new animated series: ADVENTURE TIME.

Finally! Animation that’s not cheap or dog-ugly.

Finally there’s animation that’s fanciful and full of love; geek and otherwise.

Finally, Cartoon Network is airing quality animation.

When your station is named Cartoon Network you’d think that wouldn’t be an issue. These days, it’s not always true.

Secret Saturdays, No Longer Secret

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Just Freaking Neat on October 4, 2008

Last Saturday, the Secret Saturdays premiered on Cartoon Network right before the other premiere of a set of stories based in that tiny galaxy far, far away. In a strange twist of fate that only seems to happen to me, on the internet, I discovered Jay Stephens blog. Stephens created the Secret Saturdays that debuted on October 3.

I found him while searching for images of the Spooky Space Kook of Scooby Doo fame.

Hundreds of thousands of marketing dollars being spent and I find the neat looking retro Johnny Quest-like adventure animated series for boys on a whim.

My cyber-life is weird.

UPDATE: An article on ICv2 by Steve Bennett talks about the trends of cartoons on TV. He also assures me that I’m not the only guy out there craving more action/adventure series on the airwaves. Comedy shows are fine but sometimes you just gotta have that man, or woman, of action riding a talking dinosaur and punching bad guys in their noses.

You just gotta have it.

No offense to the creators, but I can see why it didn’t make it. It’s only sorta funny in spots.

Stephen DeSanto has images on his blog here, here, here, here, here, and here.
