Barbapapa (Nature episode) (YouTube) My grandfather had a Barbapapa book that fascinated me as a kid. The book was about these blobby hippies who inspired eco-values. At some point, the Barbapapas were animated. This is one of those things that you swear nobody but you remembers.
In this episode, we learn where Seth MacFarlane ripped off the Peter-Hurts-His-Knee-For-Five-Minutes gag.
An Exchange with John K. (Michael Barrier) Another old page. I can't believe I just found it. It's a long email argument between historian Barrier and animator John K. about what constitutes good acting in cartoons.
Answering Machine Messages of the Stars (Mark Evanier) Back when Mark Evanier worked with the great voice actors of animation, he had them do messages for his personal answering machine. He promises to post a few of them, starting with Daws Butler doing Huckleberry Hound. Just fantastic.
Toy Story Mania Strategy Guide: Updated (Mice Age) A look at some of the hidden high-scoring point sequences found in the new Toy Story Mania video game shooting gallery ride.
