My two favorite things: animation and kitties!

“Defective Detective” Short Film
I adore this short from Avner Geller and Stevie Lewis. The work on the detective’s eyes is great! Who needs dialogue when you’ve got acting like this? And the little old lady at the end? Perfect.

New “Simon’s Cat” Short
These are the best.
Ringling Student’s “Holy Sheep”
I love the style of Justin Farris’s senior short film from Ringling College of Art and Design. I’m a sucker for anything with googly eyes, and these sheep have ‘em by the bucketful! There’s tons of character in all of the sheep, even though they’re pretty much identical.
Check it out:

Chuck Jones Brings Rudyard Kipling’s “The White Seal” To Life
From Chuck Redux:
In 1974, Chuck Jones brought to life the story of Kotick, the white seal, while a vice-president in charge of children’s programming at ABC. This television special was based on the story of survival and perseverance of a group of seals living in the Bering Straits. The original tale is by Rudyard Kipling and can be found in his collection of stories, The Jungle Book.
Check out Part 1 of The White Seal below:
Three New “Looney Tunes” Shorts to Hit Theaters
Warner Bros. Animation publicly announced three new Looney Tunes shorts to be released within the next year. The shorts will be in 3D and will be released in theaters, presumably paired with feature films just as last year’s “Coyote Falls” was.
The three shorts will be:
Daffy’s Rhapsody: In the first of the new shorts, a persistent Elmer Fudd chases Daffy Duck (Blanc) on stage during a musical performance. The short features Blanc performing the song “Daffy Duck’s Rhapsody.” Daffy’s Rhapsody is scheduled to debut in theaters on November 18, 2011, in conjunction with Warner Bros. Pictures’ release of Happy Feet 2.
I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat: A classic game of cat and bird transpires in Granny’s apartment as Tweety Bird goes to great lengths to avoid the clutches of his arch-nemesis Sylvester the Cat. The short also features the hit song of the same name, which was performed by Blanc, and sold over three million copies worldwide.
Untitled Coyote & Road Runner: Wile E. Coyote’s epic quest to capture the Road Runner continues in this all-new short. Will the Coyote finally get his paws on his elusive prize?
All three shorts are directed by Matthew O’Callaghan.
Congrats to my friends who have been working on these!

Bird Box Studio’s “Pub Dog”
If I could draw, I would want to work for Bird Box Studio. Here’s their latest, “Pub Dog.” The dog reminds me so much of my Addie, who is not above swiping food from strangers and cute enough to get away with it.
For more Sketchy shorts, check out their BBC page. One of my favorites is “Duel,” because the animators communicate so much about the two characters using only silhouettes.
This is Addie, by the way. She could probably get away with actual murder with that look.
