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.
