    Toon Zone Talkback - Kung Fu Week

    This quick bit of animation was created by Anthony McGrath and put online in 2008. In it, mechanical arms practice a martial art form against a wooden dummy. McGrath mentions Digital Domain's mechanical legs advertisement (VFX Breakdown, Final) as a source of inspiration, along with a passion...

    If Less Popular Cartoons Were More Popular.

    I can agree with you there! Plus, popular shows and movies get really horrible/disturbing fanart and fanfics that has Rule 34 in it. Which means that the less popular shows and movies are saved from this.

    Are we in a golden age for action cartoons for US Animation?

    Why do some people equate shows that have 'one singular plot with an ultimate goal' with depth and good storytelling, and then write the shows which don't follow this motif off as 'inferior'? The Avatar: The Last Airbernder formula works if it's done well, but by no means is it a requirement for...

    When the villains win or at least benefit.

    Since you brought up UH, he does get a decorative tree for his cell in Comfort And Joy, like the one he had as a child.

    "Beowulf" Talkback (Spoilers)

    See: The Uncanny Valley Effect. This movie pretty much screams it. Also since you mentioned Polar Express, here's another very interesting article where an animator discusses the Effect on that movie, and actually applies Photoshop to several frames of the movie to try to "fix" the Effect (and...

    Why hasn't American Dad caught on?

    Master Moron may have been a bit harsh in his criticism, but I believe he made a valid point. I watch the series on occasion, but I really don’t care that much about the characters; I don’t find them very appealing.

    Shocking! Android cannot see ad-hoc network

    Doesn't 2.0 and above support enterprise (just asking, I thought it did, but I don't have it to check). In my experience most phones don't support certificate based WiFi either. I would imagine, along with ad-hoc, it's not in huge demand. Nearly everywhere uses normal infrastructure mode with...
