Space Jam 2 Hallmark ornament featuring Bugs Bunny and “Tune” LeBron James. LeBron James spent quite a bit of time as a Looney Tunes character, as he shifted form to match his environment, but he always provided his own voice.

Scoob!Dick's final design was just 😩👌, not gonna lie. It payed homage to the original while putting their own spin to it to make him look more menacing and imposing than his usually seedier self. But I would also be lying to say I wouldn't have killed a man to see some of his earlier designs in action.

Specifically this design from Sandro Cleuzo

Now I really want a 2D animated scoob movie because gosh it would look so good

Hello everyone!

I want to share with you my favourite online resources about traditional animation. This is not a comprehensive list of everything about 2d/traditional animation but only a list of my favourite places on the web where you can find news and insights about this great form of art. 

(Note: I’m not an animator so this list is more focused on animation’s history and less on its technical aspects)

Blogs

“Deja View” - Andreas Deja’s blog. He’s one of the greatest contemporary animators (he worked for Disney in “The Lion King”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Hercule”s and other movies) and he’s also a Disney’s historian. He wrote a book about the ‘Nine Old Men’ wich is a very interesting reading for animators but also for animation’s fans.

Floyd Norman’s blog, Floyd Norman is an animator and a Disney legend. He is the first black animator that Disney hired, back in the days. There is a great documentary (Floyd Norman. An Animated Life) about his life and career which was on Netflix some time ago, and is now available on other streaming platforms.

I was fortunate enough to be a part of the @hanselstorybook project. Here is the model of Gretel, based on the design by Sandro Cleuzo. The most difficult part for me when creating a character is always getting the eyes to look correct. I spend a lot of energy making them feel alive. The legendary Disney animator and character designer, Glen Keane, once said: “If you’re going to make a mistake, don’t make it in the eyes.” I think the key to achieving eyes that are full of life is to use references and follow the anatomical structures. Even though the character is stylized, believable forms are obtained only when they are based on real life. https://www.instagram.com/p/B95w2gCjMe8/?igshid=m895m278tm8t

[fishphone]

There’s concept art on the director Tony Cervone’s Instagram, Sandro Cleuzo’s Instagram, and this artist’s website. It’s really neat stuff!

Someone on tv tropes took a screencap of the stuffed Yankee Doodle Pigeon in Scoob! but I was more interested in the pic of puppy Muttley.

SMool medal boy.
