Hey so my friend Kevan just posted this on his blog and it is so cool… i just have to copy it and send the word out.

FAMILY DOG IS ON YouTube!!!!

Oh this is so exciting. I remember when i first saw Family Dog. I was in school and an aspiring 2-d animator. Everything about these shorts to me was PERFECT; story, pacing, character design, animation… everything. Now that I’m a little bit wiser (but not much) i see some of animation issues… but for the most part, the brillance of these shorts holds up. These were made back when Simpsons were the only primetime cartoon to ever have a successful run, and many producers and studios were trying to create other primetime animations to compete. I always thought Family Dog had a great shot, but the brillance of the series seemed to fizzle once Brad Bird left the picture. Someone correct me, but didn’t Family Dog only get thru one season? (If that..)

Anyhoo, check em out.

So I found out today that not only did I NOT get a credit on Over the Hedge while in theaters… i won’t be able to get a credit on the DVD. It came down to numbers; only people who worked more than 9 weeks on the film qualified.. and i came in a bit short. (I only worked 7 weeks on the film.)

POOP!

DOUBLE POOP!!!
Oh well. That’s how it goes sometimes. You win some you lose some. Still, I’ll be able to claim I worked on it on IMDB, and I’ll still be able to claim credit on my shots. They can’t take those away from me.

I finally saw the film this weekend and you know… it was pretty good! I still haven’t seen Cars yet. Maybe this weekend…

Oh, and have I said lately how much I LOVE Robot Chicken? Well, I do.
