Nothin' says 'fun' like an airborne dump truck...

Put the 'fun' in funeral.

You worked on those shows? Awesome! I loved Tom and Jerry Kids.

i enjoyed working on the character designs and props, but i only saw a fragment of an episode decades later on YouTub. They didn't screen episodes for the art department, and they aired on TV while we were at work. VCR's had just come into homes around this time - but trying to programme them to record a show while you were away from home was not user friendly.

The original Tex Avey and Barney Bear cartoons hilarious and superbly animated - breaking rules and writing new rules !

OMG i didnt know you did work for them either! This is fabulous!

Thanks !

Man....
Those were different times BU

Animation styles have certainly become more diverse and often more abstract. When you look at the history of animation artists were always pushing the boundries of what could be done - of what could be done on a budget - in the 60s-80s what could be done in a culture of crass commercialism that stifled anything new and different. The scripts were meh, so all artists could do was try to make the product a little better, perfecting our craft within very narrow boundaries.

I saw what Bakshi did with the Mighty Mouse cartoon and John K with Ren and Stimpy afterwards. I'll never cease to be amazed by the boundaries they were able to push at a time when animation was becoming cookie cutter comericalized slop. Disney TV animation was very impressive as well... Crazy to think about it but around that same time Disney's animation department was on the chopping block, but they still managed to put out high quality stuff that's really stood the test of time.

This is so sick! I'm in love! Also it's from the year I was born ha ha.
