The Secret of the Kells

Straight from Cartoon Brew

"The Secret of Kells is a largely hand-drawn 2-D animated feature that is garnering a lot of good buzz from people who have seen it, such as this Variety review that calls it “absolutely luscious to behold…UPA-studio-meets-the-Dark-Ages characters with intricate, Celtic design-inspired detailing.” The 6 million Euro feature originated out of the studio Cartoon Saloon in Ireland, but is a truly global co-production with studios from Brazil to Hungary working on the film."

FLINSTONES: On the Rocks!

Here it is finally! Thanks to my buddy Craig Parrillo for the heads up!



"This was a rarely seen animated special that aired in 2001 on "Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theatre" based on the original series.

With Fred and Wilma's marriage falling apart the Rubbles take them on a vacation to fix their relationship, but when a jewel thief gets a stolen diamond mixed up with one of Wilma's bags Fred uses it as a way to win Wilma back (unaware that it's stolen) while the thief pursues them to get it back.

This film is notable for having a unique dream sequence for Fred done in puppet-motion animation. It is also the very last animated Flintstones project from Cartoon Network, as well as the show's original creators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera (William Hanna died before this film aired and was dedicated to his memory).

King Crab: Space Crustacean

"A short film created by Bill Wray that aired on Cartoon Network in 1999, right after the premiere of "Courage the Cowardly Dog", about an intergalactic space crab who has his cadet taken over by an alien parasite after coming back from their latest mission.

Even though this short has a very Spumco-ish feel to it John Kricfalusi was not involved in it in any way. However, Bill Wray had worked on "Ren & Stimpy" as a background artist before making this short. "
