Tangeled

Like many of you I have been following the making of "Tangled" (aka "Rapunzel) over the years. One reason being because it is so much part of the 2d/3d debate, as well as Disney/Pixar debate and many more. There are some recent articles on that subject in the LA Times, one of them featured a cartoon from Floyd Normans Blog. I love his GagWall. click on the image to get there and check it out for yourself.

DODO & NOCTURNA

I am still inking my blog for today, but in the meantime I wanted to share two movie trailers of animated films with you (I have worked on both of them some time back). Nocturna is a spanish production from Filmax in Madrid. Dodo is a german production from Cartoon-Film in Berlin.

My French Animators & Kaamelott

...and I should probably brush up "on" my english while I am at it. My friend Laurent found this episode of Kaamelott on you tube with english subtitles in case some of you want to check it out...click here...or if you understand french...knock yourselves out with the rest of the episodes, and think of me.

Monzta by tobitoon

Hi Everyone, this is kind of unusual, but I thought I will do a shameless self promotion of our monzta tee shirt, which you can vote for at threadless.
The tee-shirt here is not exactly the one, that ended up at threadless, since they only allow 5 colours for starters like me (you have to win a few times, before they let you use more), but Alex and me had fun with it, so I wanted to post the original anyway. So, if you like it, give us a vote ;)
