In the Dumps

It is a sad day for those of us who grew up fascinated with “Where the Wild Things Are“. A children’s classic, the picture book won numerous accolades including the 1964 Caldecott Medal. Perhaps more important than the awards is the fact that countless adults today have fond memories of their childhood, partly thanks to nights with Max and the Wild Things. And how about the children of today who are recipients of their parents’ passing on tradition? Certainly, there is a reason more than 19 million copies of the book have been sold. Today, it is but apt to pay tribute to the creator of the picture book that Read more »

M.A.S.K. LEGO

Have you ever heard of M.A.S.K.? No, that was not a typo – it has nothing to do with M*A*S*H. M.A.S.K. stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, and was an animated TV series aired way back in the 80s. It was directed by Japanese studios and produced by a French-American company. M.A.S.K. was influenced by the then popular G.I. Joe and Transformers – or rather, the still popular G.I. Joe and Transformers. To be honest, this is the first time that I have heard of M.A.S.K. but the cartoon seems to be gaining some attention decades later, thanks to LEGO. I stumbled upon a blog featuring LEGO models of M.A.S.K. Read more »

New Voltron Cats Are Ready to Kick Some Butt

Those of you who were kids (or semi-kids, if there is such a thing) in the 80s will know all about Voltron. Robin gave us a taste of Voltron recently and wrote about Voltron Force on Nicktoons and the game. If you were one of those who got all excited about that news, here is some eye candy that will make your day. To be honest, I was not that big of a Voltron fan. For one thing, our parents didn’t believe in the crap that was shown on TV. Whatever TV I got was from my cousins, who watched Voltes V instead of Voltron. (Now Voltes V is a Read more »

All Excited About Cars 2 World Grand Prix Posters

Cars is arguably the best animated motion picture from Disney-Pixar. Who can’t help but love Mater, Luigi, and Guido? Of course, many a kid would go for Lightning McQueen in an instant, but the film is rife with other lovable characters. So, recently, the official announcement for Cars 2 was made, getting every fan out there excited – with June 24 being marked in countless calendars all over the world. The poster was released late last year is cool enough, but the recently released retro posters of the Cars 2 World Grand Prix just blows it away. I saw the four posters at FilmoFilia, and boy, do they look awesome! Read more »

Give Me Pizza, or Give Me Death

Everyone loves pizza in any form. Hot pizza fresh out of the oven, dripping with melted cheese. Cold pizza in the morning left over from the previous night’s party. Who cares? If it’s pizza, it must be good, right? I, for one, do not mind having pizza every single day! How can you make pizza better? How about mashing it up with one of the most loved cartoons? The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles played a huge role in many a person’s childhood, and what can be better than a t-shirt combining the TMNT concept with the world’s best sustenance? Read more »

It Would Have Been Cooler As A Van

Brandon Ortwein came with the creative idea of illustrating famous movie and cartoon cars as vans. Think of the Mach5, Optimus Prime or The Ghostbusters ECO. Logically “The Mystery Machine” is not listed as it has always been cool being originally a van. Most of the converted cars are indeed cooler as a van, but the “DeLorean” and the “Batmobile” are definitely better in their original form. Notoriously missing is Fred Flinstone’s stone age car, that would be something as a van. Read more »

Brooklyn based artist Kiersten Essenpreis and journalist/writer David K. Israel decided to select the most fun tweets and create illustrations of them. David is in charge of selecting the tweets while Kiersten illustrates them, together they present the most hilarious illustrations that make the original tweet even more funnier. Read more »

Nostalgia: Saturday Morning Cartoons

I think that in most western countries that Saturday mornings was and is for cartoons. As a child of the 80′s a part of the nostalgia for me is remembering the cartoons I used to watch on TV. We had only two channels back then and it was in Spanish, but cartoons are cartoons. Today I still check TV scheduling to see if Boomerang is showing cartoons from the 80′s, I love watching them again especially when feeling nostalgic or having nothing to do. I can’t appreciate modern cartoons nor the modernizations of older cartoons with newer technique and drawings so I never watch them. Here follows an infographic with Read more »
