Coquino Joaquín Salvador Lavado (Mafalda) a.k.a. Quino is for Latin America what Sergio Aragonés (Groo) and Antonio Prohías (Spy vs Spy) have been for the USA. In Coquino animator Jeff Le Bars and sound designer Sylvain Livenais pay tribute to this great cartoonist with an amazing animated short that includes a touch of human life, […]

We first introduced you to the work of Canadian illustrator Ïve Bastrash (aka inkjava) last October when we covered his Cartoon Style Cult Movie Posters. Now he’s back with a series of killer Alien art that would make for a perfect (R-rated) cartoon show! Some of you might remember that 20th Century Fox actually did […]

After two major films and a long-running comic book, 1990 saw DC Comic’s Swamp Thing branch out into not only a TV series (Swamp Thing: The Series) but an animated series (Swamp Thing: The Animated Series) for kids.

Before 1994 our only real animated Spider-Man fix was the 1981 series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

“It’s All About Helping Kids.” An animated series starring all three of the most iconic sports star of the nineties – that’s just wacky! – ProStars was absurd but, by virtue of nostalgia, it’s still fun to think that some fans thought this animated series was a fun idea. For the most part, ProStars was […]

For a long time in the 80s and 90s there was a marriage between film, television, and video games that overlapped one another so drastically that it was shocking. In the 90s if it was a movie, it was turned in to a video game. In the same vein, kids were given adult movies transformed […]

For the majority of the 90s, whenever I would turn on television to watch cartoons I would basically be bombarded with commercials for Creepy Crawlers. At the time, as a kid, there were non-stop commercials for toys that looked amazing on sight, but didn’t seem so much fun in person. A game where you can […]
