Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 20th

Scary badass demon rising from the depths of hell from inside a volcano mountain, summoning his minions to play. Pure awesome sauce. 

Halloween Cartoon For Oct. 19th

This is a great cartoon that gets over looked. Mainly because the Dracula character only appears in this one cartoon. But this is a Chuck Jones cartoon, so you know it's gonna be awesome. Abracapocus!

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 18th

Death By Lemonade is a cute little short directed by Kyu-bum Lee, of a stubborn little girl trying not to get ripped off by the grim reaper. With hilarious consequences.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 17th

Here's a whiny depressing emo special from 1979. "Called The Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile." Because some inconsiderate jerk carved a frown in his face, instead of a smile. Boo Hoo!

Halloween Cartoon For Oct. 15th

Here's a golden oldie for ya. This is the first Silly Symphony short from 1929. Directed By Walt Disney, and animated by Ub Iwerks. in 1994, 1,000 animators decided what the 50 greatest cartoons of all time were. This was made #18. The animation, and choreography are still very impressive.

Halloween Cartoon For Oct. 14th

When I was a kid I would watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's one of my favorite specials of all time. So when I found out there was also a Halloween special call "Halloween is Grinch Night" I had to see it. And what I got was one of the weirdest psychedelic trips I've ever seen out of the pink elephant scene from Dumbo. But that's Dr. Seuss for you.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 11th

This is an awesome cartoon. But for me I think Bugs is out shined by Hansel and Gretel. It shows Chuck Jones' brilliant comedic timing, and the voice work is flawless from Mel Blanc and June Foray. No matter how many times that I watch this short it always makes me giggle uncontrollably.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 9th

One of my favorite halloween shorts from Disney. This cartoon is a lot of fun. Old school Disney had a way with magic and whimsy that was signature to them in a way that will stick with me forever. Plus I like to see Donald get the crap beat out of him.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 5th

This is a cool one from the French company Gobelins. It mixes creepy and cute really well, and thinks it is very well made, and the animation is very smooth, with great comedic timing. I love shorts that can give you a good story with no dialogue. See the awesomeness for yourself.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 3rd

This is an oldie but a goodie all the way from 1978. My mom used to always record VHS tapes off of TV, when ever there was holiday specials. And this was a weird one that I grew up watching since I was very little, I used to call it the Halloween cartoon with the naked crossed eyed people. This has a giant nostalgic factor for me, and I will continue to enjoy this short for years to come.

Halloween Cartoon for Oct. 1st.

For the month of October I'm going to feature a Halloween cartoon everyday. I know i'm 4 days behind, but well, now you can start with 4 cartoons instead of one, so here we go. For the first one we are going to watch one of my favorites, these ghosts from this classic Disney cartoon always pissed me off, and thought that they were to mean to Mickey, Donald, and especially Goofy. But now I find it very cute, and I'm happy to watch it every year.

This is a cool video that I'm sure you've never seen before. I thought it was interesting enough to be featured on my blog, so enjoy what you think it might be.

Music Video of the Week #2

The animated music video this week is for the song "Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise" By The Avett Brothers. The indie rock band from Concord North Carolina. The Song is off their major label debut album "I and Love and You" which was produced by Rick Rubin who if you don't know is a legend in the music industry. Producing some of the greatest albums of all time, including Johnny Cash's "American Recordings", The Beastie Boys "Lisenced To Ill", and The Mars Volta's " De-Loused in the Comatorium". So safe to say, you're in good hands with this Avett Brothers album. This video was animated by animator Jason Mitcham, whos style of painted animation goes so well with the music from the Avett Brothers. It's like a chocolate and peanut butter combination.

Top 10 Favorite Chuck Jones Cartoons

Chuck Jones is a legend in the history of animation. As a kid I loved to watch cartoons, especially the Looney Tunes. And I always had my favorite ones, but it wasn't until years later that I found out the majority of favorites were all directed by the same guy. How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Roadrunner and Coyote, Rikki Tikki Tavi, What's Opera Doc? etc., all done by Chuck Jones. His work has great humor, brilliant expressions, and spot-on timing, and I love his constant breaking of the fourth wall. His work has been a great inspiration for me, and here are ten examples of why he's known as the master of the extremes and the in-betweens.
