Lots of great material to study this time! A high resolution e-book featuring the work of one of the most important political cartoonists of all time, a rare reel of Chiquita Banana theatrical commercials from 1947, and two rare Fleischer bouncing ball cartoons you can still frame through and study. That’s 330 pages of great cartooning and almost 40 minutes of rare classic animation. If you aren’t a member of Animation Resources yet, WHY NOT?

ANIMATION RESOURCES MEMBERS: Sorry For The Delay

The May/June Reference Pack has been delayed. It should be available this weekend. We prepared an e-book for it only to discover that it is slated to be republished in hardback soon. We strive to always present material that isn’t available elsewhere, so we shelved that book and prepared another one. That is why we are a little late this time. Thanks for your patience!

Something About Yourself You Didn’t Know

WonderCon2016

I’m going to tell all of you who follow this website something about yourself that you didn’t know… At WonderCon, I watched tens of thousands of fans walk by the Animation Resources table. I had a Gertie the Dinosaur by McCay on the table, along with sketches by Milt Kahl, Preston Blair and Art Babbitt.

I watched as 99% of the people just walked on by, glancing at the drawings and saying to themselves… “Oh look, it’s Pinocchio.” “Is that the Queen from Snow White?” Then one in a hundred would walk by and do a double take. “HOLY CRAP! AN ORIGINAL WINSOR MC CAY DRAWING!” “THAT DRAWING IS SIGNED BY MILT KAHL!” I would smile to myself and rejoice. There aren’t a lot of us out there, but we still exist. Those of you who follow this website are the continuity of what these great artists started for the art of animation. Everyone else is just a fan of specific characters and films. All of us at Animation Resources are here for the people who love the art form.
