What are your favorite animation blogs? Here are mine:

Nerd Armada - run by C.H. Greenblatt, creator of Chowder, writer/storyboarder for The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and SpongeBob, and voice of Fred Fredburger
Cartoon Brew - a fan blog with many interesting posts and a load of links to other sites
Sooper Secret KND Production Blog - no longer being updated, but it was the official blog for Codename: Kids Next Door
warburtonlabs - the replacement for the Sooper Secret KND Production Blog run by Mr. Warbuton, the creator of Codename: Kids Next Door who is working on a new project with Disney and his first children's book (1000 Times No) is coming out soon

Maxwell Atoms? The creator of Billy & Mandy? Awesome! Even if it has some non-animation posts, the blog is still run by a person heavily involved in animation, so I think it counts as an animation blog.
 
http://frederatorblogs.com/ is pretty cool, and thanks to them I just found http://fullecirclestuff.blogspot.com/ which has lots of cool interviews.
I kinda hate to say it, but John K.'s blog ( www.johnkstuff.blogspot.com) has lots of interesting theories and inspirations, as does the ASIF-Hollywood Animation Archive ( www.animationarchive.org)
Eddie Fitzgerald's blog has lots of interesting stuff, not just about animation. Thad K.'s blog has some neat stuff as well.
I'll conclude this post with my own blog, www.johnpannozzi.blogspot.com, which has links to lots of cool blogs (and those blogs have links to even more blogs!)
 
My problems with Cartoon Brew are A.) Amid's infuriating attempts at "snarky" humor and B.) the worst of the comments. There's no fun in listening to bitter, hate-clenched animators and armchair critics stabbing each other in the back. So it's not one of my favorites.

I like Maxwell Atoms' blog, and I should visit Teenage Roblog more.
 
Agreed. There is some very interesting articles to be read there and I think they make up for that. It is a blog site after all and Amid is entitled to his opinions, but sometimes that takes away from what he's trying to say.



The Hunstman beat me to it, so instead I offer the Cartoon Saloon Blog. Updated infrequently, it does have tons on Skunk Fu! as well as other projects the company is working on.

Also, Michael Sporn's Splog. More than a match for John K.
 
I offer the Animation Guild Blog. While it doesn't offer any tips on animation and cartoons, it's a good place to go to if you are interested in what's happening in the industry (employment rates, current status of series/movies, etc.).

And I also bring up Monsterama. It's the blog of Jay Stephens, the creator of the upcoming Cartoon Network show, "The Secret Saturdays". While many of the posts are about monsters and the like, there are some posts about some 'spooky' cartoons and his own shows.

And here's the blog of Chris Battle. Some art on there, including development art for shows like PPG, Samurai Jack, and the Mighty B!.
 
I like how you guys are offering blogs to me. Makes me feel special. :D Just joking around. Anyways, I edited in some more blogs into the OP, and made it seem like this thread is for your favorite animation blogs (I don't know if that's any better, but I'm assuming that if your offered them to me, that you enjoy them and might be one of your favorites).

Unfortunately, when I edit the title, it remains the same on the General Animation Discussion topic list. Oh well. It's not something I'm going to bother the mods about, but if one happens to read this, go ahead and change the overall, thread list title or whatever to Your Favorite Animation Blogs.

Thanks again for posting the links!
