It Didn't Take Them Long

Animan's "The Poker Game" goes on sale!

As always, if you have problems buying, downloading or watching the movie, please contact me through the Selz store. I'll do my best to help. Thank you!

Three More Days

I have finished drawing all the animation scenes--102 different scenes. The movie will be about 13 minutes long. But the movie isn't finished. I need to put the pieces together, add sound effect and voices, and adjust the sound volume.  If there are any mistakes or problems, I need to fix them.

The original movie is 19 gigabytes! That's too big. So I have to reduce the size without reducing quality. It takes one day for me to find the best settings through "trial and error". As Animan, I want it to be the best quality possible, so that you will want to watch it again and again.

I need three more days to completely finish it. One fan told me that they want me to draw a poster for this movie. So that's one more thing I have to do. Busy busy.

If the movie can be ready sooner, I'll announce it on Animan's World. Thanks for your patience.

Junior is Real Vintage American Design

I didn't realize it until now, but Junior's face bears an uncanny resemblance to the original "Kool-Aid Smiling Pitcher" from the 1950's and 1960's!  

 

But there's a big difference. The Kool-Aid pitcher is always happy, friendly and smiling. Junior smiles, too--when he gets what he wants. But if he doesn't, then this sort of evil look comes over his face, and he becomes another person!

         Here's some more Kool-Aid art from the good old days of Americana

Mad Magazine did a great parody of this last advertisment--here it is!

Here's a vintage animated commercial for Kool-Aid

Below is one I have NEVER seen before--Kool-Aid in Spain. ¡A los amigos de Animan en España, deseo disculparme por este anuncio comercial insensible!

Below is another I have NEVER seen before--Kool-Aid in Japan.  I know that in Japan--they don't use jin-rickshaws (except for tourists), and this music and scenery is too Chinese-style. And Japanese never wear shoes in the house. NEVER! The Kool-Aid pitchers with narrow, slanty eyes are not really that politically incorrect--Japanese cartoonists often draw Japanese and Chinese eyes that way--but most Americans don't know that. Although Kool-Aid doesn't harmonize with Japanese food AT ALL, there IS a drink they sell in Japan called "Nichirei Acerola Drink" that tastes just like Cherry Kool-Aid! Animan loves it!

日本の皆さん、こんなヘンテコリンなCMで、大変申しわけなく思います！人力車や、畳の土足や、中国風な音楽や、細い目をしたクールエイドの水さしたちの顔なんか、面白いながら、やっぱり行き過ぎですね！チェリー味のクールエイドに激似しているニチレイアセロラドリンクはアニマンの大好物です！

Production is Still Underway

Adrian and Hal are taking a good look at the cards Junior was using for the poker game. Is there a problem somewhere?
If I were them, I wouldn't trust Junior for a minute! Nobody knows what's going through that kid's mind.
