The Trial of Tyrion Lannister
Since there was no new Game of Thrones this past weekend, I thought today would be the perfect day to indulge in some more awesome Only Leigh animation! Behold her silly, animated vision of the trial of Tyrion Lannister!
Ser Pounce remains probably the best character in the show. No doubt he’ll be dead before the end of Season 4.
First Big Hero Six Teaser Teases Nothing!
The first trailer for the first Marvel/Disney animated mash-up hit the Internet today, and while the animation looks great, the trailer really is just a cute little tease.
Big Hero 6 is the first collaboration between Marvel Comics and Disney’s animation studio, which produced Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph. Rather than make an animated movie about one of Marvel’s more popular superheroes, Disney picked Big Hero 6, a relatively unknown team of Japanese superheroes. The little boy in the trailer is probably Hiro Takachiho, if the movie bothers to use the actual Big Hero 6 characters from the comic. Who knows! not many details have been released, and the trailer doesn’t release anything more…but it sure is adorable!
Mario is a terrible older brother
Hotdiggedydemon, a group of animators who brought you numerous My Little Pony and other cartoon parodies, presents this masterpiece. I like to think of it as a tribute to “Player 2s” everywhere.
Take Some Time Out of Your Busy Day to Enjoy the Bounty of What the Internet Has Wrought
The fine people at Alfred Image Works have given us this 5 minute video short about Johnny Express, the best delivery service in the galaxy! And it’s just delightful. And more than a little dark.
I have long been a champion of the Internet and all it can provide. This is the kind of short you might see in front of the new Pixar movie. And that regular people, not Hollywood types, are cranking this stuff out and sharing it online is just the greatest feeling in the world. This video short is well worth your time.
Why Don’t They Just Use Darth Vader?
With yesterday being the Fourth of May, the fine folks at Star Wars released the first trailer for the upcoming Star Wars: Rebels cartoon. I was probably unnecessarily mean towards Rebels in a recent article, so why don’t we check out the trailer and decide for ourselves?
Eh, I’m not convinced. I’ve been catching up on Star Wars: Clone Wars recently, the show that was cancelled to make way for this one. Clone Wars is good, and stars popular characters. Whereas I keep feeling like Rebels is a made-by-committee Star Wars show. All of the characters are carefully crafted into perfect cliches. And they don’t even use Darth Vader as the villain! The show takes place in the time period where Darth Vader is active, arguably the greatest super-villain in the history of fiction, but they don’t want to use him? What sort of sense does that make?!
