Cartoons From Around The Globe #1

Foxy time travel.  What is and what shouldn’t ever be.  Butterflies and paper planes.  What more can you ask for?  

The Russians/Soviets delivered with this one.  It may feel to be more toddler focused but it’s pretty darn profound if you ask me (Thanks Metafilter!) and its definitely not Western.

Hey There, Sleepy Head!

You ever have one of those days when you couldn’t keep your eyes open? This cute little creature could have been on the other day’s alphabet if could have stayed awake long enough to get a photo taken.

Human, But Not Human


This is still one of my fave weird-thing-on-the-web.  It takes a tad to load, but check it out.  Move your cursor around and watch her follow it.  It’s like a girl climbed into your computer and took over your computer screen!  And you can make her laugh.  Okay, smile, but still… pretty cool. And somehow she reminds me of yesterday’s “Dramatic Lemur”…

I Want To See This: Fear(s) Of The Dark

Why do Americans think animation is for kids?  Most of my favorite films last year were animations.  Animation works on so many levels and can truly tap into our subconscious.  The freedom of form is exhilarating.  

My daily surfs took me to this trailer for Fear(s) Of The Dark.  I hope the film comes to NYC and soon. — I just got word that IFC is bringing it to NYC in November! (thanks Jim!)

postscript: I saw the film. Charles Burns section is worth twice the price of admission!

Subway Improvement Idea #3

Back in June, I posted an idea (or rather two) on how to improve the NYC Subways.  I still haven’t found the MTA suggestion box, but I do have a NYC Subway Improvement Idea for July.  This time it’s just a borrowed idea from my travels.  

Why can’t we have LED signs that let expectant passengers know when the next train is expected to arrive?  Was it London that I saw them in?  Vienna?  Or just all of Europe?  And where can I find a photo of this sign so the blog can look all nice & pretty?
