  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 7

    —

    This past Sunday’s cartoon session kicked off yet again with another fantastic Samurai Jack episode — I really don’t know what I’m going to do when the season is over (and there are only 3 episodes left). After watching another episode of the Tangled series, I capped off the first season of Mickey Mouse shorts…

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 6

    —

    This week’s Samurai Jack was so good on so many fronts, from the callbacks to old episodes (when meeting up with beings that had been saved by Jack) as well as the return of Jack to take arms, but my favorite sequence was the club/rave part — dance, baby, dance. Tangled was fine, and I…

  • The Transformers: The Movie

    —

    I can’t say that this is a really good movie, but I did enjoy watching it as a piece of nostalgia. I’d completely forgotten the story, and then I slowly remembered how disappointed I was when I saw it as a kid, that it introduced so many new characters, and quickly put aside the old favorites.…

  • Seoul Station

    —

    I remember being quite interested in watching this Korean animated film when it got announced last year (even though I’m pretty tired of seeing zombies in whatever form of media), and then had sorta forgotten about it.

    —

    I’ve realized that when it comes to my Sunday morning cartoon sessions, I much prefer to keep it to traditional 2D animation (or if it is CG, that it’s made to look like traditional animation). That’s why I stopped watching Star Wars Rebels on Sunday mornings (although I finished up season 3 a few days ago,…

  • Your Name in America

    ,

    My buddy Matt Alt wrote a great piece for The New Yorker about the arrival of Your Name — a film I loved to death — to North America.

  • Sunday Morning Cartoon Cavalcade Vol. 4

    —

    The best thing about this morning’s cartoon cavalcade was the happy return of Samurai Jack — it had been preempted last week because of the Rick & Morty special. An interesting episode, with the — well, sorta expected — turn of one of the daughters of Aku. I followed that up with three Mickey Mouse…

  • Japanese Animated Film Classics

    —

    I haven’t had a chance to dig into these yet, but the Film Center at Tokyo’s National Museum of Modern Art has posted 64 classic shorts — basically, examples from the birth of animation in Japan — online. More details in this article from The Hollywood Reporter.
