Final Drive

I've quite forgotten about this project I've worked on due to the fact that it was only a very brief stint requiring me to brush up on each of the main characters already pre-design by its creator, Hamadi Hamdan,who approached my twin to help to get me on board this project. I remember it being called Sarjan Hassan (Was it?) during its earlier satges of production. Well, do check out Hamadi's site here for the scoop on this project....http://blog.max-ady.com/detail/6-month-in-the-making.htm

Cheers,folks!

Awesome Belgium & Japanese animation clips.

Hands down,the most favorite animation clip I've seen thus far this year. Every time I watch it, it brings a big smile to my face. And among the few that actually got me giggling with laughter which is kinda a rarity for me. Hope you folks like it.
And I just can't stop saying it in my head..."Cowboy...Indian....". Lovable characters with lovable voice overs fantastically melded together to make the entire show work! in spite of the fact that they're just toy miniatures with limited animation treatment. I don't care the limitations. Awesome story with awesome plots & characters & voice cast. You're in for a treat!

Right now, voice auditions are under way. Anyone interested in participating and submitting their voice for any of these babies?

Voice Casting:
Start 17th Mar till 6th April.
"Submit MP3 or WAV to chummyandchamp@gmail.com. Deadline 6 April. So, what are you waiting folks, bring out the kid in you and start practising! :D"
Folks, we have a script that can guide you. If you are interested, please send your details to chummyandchamp@gmail.com. You can send your own voice sample or opt for the script to read.
Have fun playing with the recorder! And don't forget to spread this message around. The more the merrier eh!
Till then, hug a tree and reduce carbon emission.
Everyday is Earth Day. Do Your Bit for Our Future Generations."

Don Bluth

I remembering growing up loving this. Also helps that I like some of the songs in this movie starring Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John. Just wish the sound could've been better in the clip though.

Anyone with any information with regards to Don Bluth's version of Repunzel?

And who can forget Dirk from Dragon's Lair?

Here's to remembering the 80s,folks! :)
