Bakshi Blast: Jack Cole's Plastic Man
ASIFA - Hollywood Animation Archive (Free subscription) | 12/16/2008
Today, I got a call from Ralph Bakshi ... "Stevie! Ya gotta get everyone who reads your site to look at this story on Pappy's blog... He's got a Jack Cole Plastic Man story that just may be the greatest thing he ever did. Every artist takes a little bit from here and a little bit from there and puts it all together in his own way... but this one is different. In this story, Cole's like a pool player...

New(-ish) Video: Kanye West, ‘Heartless’
DISKUSIA - Music & Beyond (Free subscription) | 12/09/2008
One of the best things about being a cartoon is that you can smoke all the cigarettes you want and never have to worry about your face looking like a ratty old catcher’s mitt or your teeth turning buttered-popcorn yellow or eventually having to talk with a fake voicebox (true, you’d save time not having to futz with AutoTune ; downside — no trachea). Another great thing, you can ogle jiggly, generously...

Lord of the Rings, 1978 - Movie Review of the Ralph Bakshi Animated version
Live for Films (Free subscription) | 12/05/2008
Director: Ralph Bakshi Starring: Christopher Guard, William Squire, John Hurt, Michael Graham Cox, Anthony Daniels Running Time: 132 minutes Score: 9 / 10 Here's another cracking review by Paul. Ok, so I'm not going to come on here and say that this is superior to Peter Jackson's (PJ) efforts. If I did I think Phil (Hello - Phil LFF) would erase me and I'd be in a Live For Film Limbo. Can't

Ralph Bakshi’s Bickersons
Cartoon Brew (Free subscription) | 11/14/2008
Here’s a real rarity. When Ralph Bakshi worked at Paramount in 1967, he produced several theatrical shorts and proposed a dozen more. One of his assignments was to create a pilot based on the classic radio show The Bickersons using the track of a 1940s radio broadcast starring Don Ameche and Frances Langford. Paul Rapp, [...]

Kanye Goes Coolhunting In Cool World [Videodrone]
Idolator (Free subscription) | 11/10/2008
It would appear that Kanye (and director Hype Williams) have punched "Ralph Bakshi" into their hipness calculators and come up with a winner. Enough years have passed and enough people have forgotten Bakshi's flop Cool World that major contrarian points can be scored by using the legendary animator as an inspiration. Cynicism aside, though, it's a fantastic video. It's easy to forget that taste and...

After giving “Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather” a positive review earlier this year, I was eager to check out the latest release of video fodder from his Discworld universe. “Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Collection” encompasses two different tales from his oddball universe of magic and mysticism, only this time in animated form. “Wyrd Sisters” is the story of [...]

Monkey Dust
Boing Boing (Free subscription) | 10/09/2008
When most people think of "Adult Animation" they think of things like Ralph Bakshi's Fritz the Cat or Heavy Traffic, but Bakshi's lurid seventies shockers have got nuthin' on Shaun Pye and the late Harry Thompson's ultra bleak -- and often quite smutty -- BBC3 television series, Monkey Dust. Truly, it can be said, Monkey Dust raises the bar! A three season (2003-2005) anthology of loosely themed animation,...
