Retro Thursdays! - Rock & Rule

Ending this month on a high note here, I've chosen one of my all time favorite animated movies!
Rock & Rule! This 1983 film was a doomed success. Plagued with setbacks and terrible, almost non-existent marketing, it never got released to the mainstream audiences that it intended.
The animation is great, the atmosphere reeks 80's, and it features original music by the likes of Earth, Wind & Fire, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed!!! Seriously this should have been on the top of everybody's list.

Here's the Wikipedia synopsis of the film to give you all the little ins and outs. Just click on the picture below to begin playback of the movie.

This is the American edited version of the film. It's the much more rare Canadian version that contains all the uncut goodness...hard to find but if you do grab it!

Retro Thursdays! - Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

Here's a classic for you all! Anybody remember Rikki-Tikki-Tavi?
This 1975 classic Chuck Jones toon was a  made for T.V. movie that was fairly dark considering the classic Jone's look that it had. Though it did stay much more true to the source material unlike the Disney's Jungle Book from which Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was a short story in..

Here's the Wikipedia article however I couldn't find one focused on the cartoon itself. Oh well!...Click zee picture!

(EDIT: Video source has been updated :D)

In the Mean Time..

Yes I am keeping busy!

Besides working on a couple different projects (slowly but surely) I do sketch occasionally and mess around with Gimp. Thought I could at least update a bit more by posting some of the stuff I do here and there...

Here's a couple of wallpapers I made for my Ubuntu and Windows computer! Woooh!

Aaand there we go!

Retro Thursdays! - Shinbone Alley

This week we have another UPA produced musical, 1971's Shinbone Alley.
This animation was considered a flop along with it's theatrical counterpart, but still is regarded as a cult classic due to its strange story. Basically some guy commits suicide and comes back as a cockroach and falls in love with a cat, but being a cockroach can't get her attention and repeatedly commits suicide again. There's a lot more to it than that but you get the basic gist of it all..

Check out some other random Wikipedia info here and click on the image below to begin the film...Enjoy!

As always if you enjoy this movie check it out on Amazon.com

Retro Thursdays! - When The Wind Blows

Wow so it's been a while since I've last updated hasn't it? Well life has it's funny little way of, well...getting in the way!

However back to business, I have gathered about a months worth of Retro Thursdays movies for all you to watch so get ready for those! The comics however will be another story since I was hoping to have some new ones done by now..oh well :/

This week we have the 1986 film When the Wind Blows. This neat little film is based on the book of the same name (like most good movies I suppose..). It's also another hybrid film in which most of the environments are real and the characters are animated. This is an apocalyptic movie and although the movie starts out lightheartedly enough as it progresses things become more and more dark.

Here is your Wikipedia Synopsis as per usual and as always just click on the image below to begin the playlist of the film :D
