Tomorrow, I'll be releasing a special new product on Patreon that answers the question: when an MGM cartoon first hit theaters (or in its reissue), what was the main feature presentation on the program?

I watched this a metric fuck-ton as a kid. Immediately thought of this character after her passing.
Mrs. Prysselius #CatherineOHara
Movie: Pippi Longstocking
Year: 1997
You could say Catherine O'Hara returned to her Canadian roots with this voice role as this animated version of Pippi Longstocking was made by Nelvana Studios.

So, here's what: canceled an Adobe program, got charged with a hefty cancellation fee, then I called Adobe, told them to waiver the fee because I absolutely will NOT accept that. After a few minutes, the representative makes sure no charge is applied. Boom. Done.

Out of all fates, I so badly want this one to fall on the amoral and reprehensible people who run the works around here.

Thanks for sharing! This was part of a whole Popeye/Bluto fight Dante animated, with many individual shots.
90+ years old Dante Barbetta, who started his career at Famous Studios in 1953, is still actively animating for fun! This was originally shared by @dee_bax

If I ever had plans to write a huge coffee table book about one Disney feature, it’d be this one.
One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a gorgeous film. After 65 years, its design is still fresh.

Disney's artists went for a new, adventurous look -- one that Walt Disney himself opposed. We explore how they did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/designing-...

If you are looking for a challenging animation exercise, try someone balancing in a precarious position. This is art.
