Rooty Toot Toot!
ASIFA is presenting a Tribute to UPA @ The Egyptian on Mar 26th. We have loved these cartoons forever. Even long before they were accessible on video. (It was always so hard to find stuff in Australia). One of our all-time favorite animated shorts is Rooty Toot Toot by John Hubley (1952). Thanks to some very basic home recording technology (ie, TV monitor, tiny camera and tripod) here it is… A lo-fi version…
Go see it on the big screen!

Thanks to the anonymous person who sent me this awesome link! I am collecting more fun YouTube dance-related videos HERE.
BLDG BLOG: Architecture, Landscapes…and these photos by Lori Nix with miniature landscapes, are amazing.
Below: The Whaleboy toy prototype designed by Patrick Morgan is muy cool. (Thanks to Brian for the link)
All Systems GOKiller Watts (mentioned on this blog not too long ago) is an international Audio-Visual project that Fwak! is contributing to this year.
Cut-aways of a bigger picture
(Designed by Lili)The project is still very much in “cocoon phase” but we can’t resist sharing some preliminary work-in-progress portraits of the group. You can also see these pics and profiles on Otis Fodder’s Myspace page under “Killer Watts”.

I LOVE Rooty Toot Toot. Love the design…sigh…I would love to work on something like that today….
Wow, that’s super lo-fi. But it’s still cool that you got it up somehow. There’s something reassuring about having Rooty Toot Toot on YouTube. Hope to see you guys at the Egyptian show.
They don’t call me ‘Lo fi In Los Feliz’ for nothin’…

Seen this toon craziness?
“In one of the more bizarre orders from China’s State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, TV shows and films featuring human thesps with animated companions will be banned”
Wise people, the Chinese. Five words: ‘Looney Tunes Back In Action’
really dig the portraits, the stylisation is spot on for a certain 1950s/60s jazz feel
top notch
Between Looney Tunes and CGI Mummies Brendan Frasier will never be seen in China! Hrmm….wonder what the job market is like there…
