This ain’t no Charlie Kaufman head trip, one that leaves you dizzy in the brain and feeling like you’ve been to the Moon and back. This is much sweeter, much more soulful… much more *human.*

Flushed Away (review)

This melding of claymation and CGI is absolutely perfect, beautifully combining the wonderfully organic feel of Aardman’s hand-built sets and lovingly breathed-into-life clay figures with DreamWorks’ sleek computer cartoons.

‘Pinky and the Brain,’ ‘Animaniacs,’ ‘Danger Mouse,’ etc.

I recall that golden age of the early 1990s when Saturday morning was a witty wonderland of live-action weirdness like ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse’ and ‘Beakman’s World’ — which turned kiddie variety and educational programs into bizarro performance art — and cartoons that were more in the vein of classic Bugs Bunny than focus-grouped marketing ploys.
