Wild Brain Studios
The guys at Darling Dimples get really hot and bothered every time we think about Wild Brain Studios. Being caring canine lovers, our favorite Wild Brain film is “A Dog Cartoon.” This short won the Gold WorldMedal from The New York Festival TV & Promotion Competition and 1st Place ASIFA/SF for best short film. Enjoy Poochini.
Don Hertzfeldt’s Genre – Simply Fantastic
Don Herztfeldt is a living icon to the guys at Darling Dimples. We love him. We envy him. We want to be him. We’re not the only ones. Felix Hude, in his review of the 1996 “Genre“, said:
“In our modern digital world it’s a relief to see somebody actually using paper. A live animator and a cartoon rabbit battle for supremacy through sex, romance, children’s parties, and The Last Supper. In the tradition of Koko the Clown, Don Hertzfeldt has created a delightful pen and paper and live action animation and worked his frustrations out at the same time. Very funny and skillfully low-tech.”
In honor of the opening of the Da Vinci Code movie, enjoy the 1996 Bunny Jesus from Don Hertzfeldt.
Janet Perlman – Animation Rising Star
Janet Perlman has already received one oscar nomination for The Tender Tale of the Cinderella Penguin. The guys at Darling Dimples are very fond of Penguins Behind Bars. Janet may have a kinky fondness for Penguins. We can only hope. But, she may also have a darker side expressed in her classic Invasion of the Space Lobsters. Ya gotta love lobsters like these.
Chestnuts Icelolly
Chestnuts Icelolly is a favorite of the guys at DarlingDimples.com. Yes, we love pink and blue but we adore black and white. Chestnuts Icelolly by J.J. Villard won the student animation award at the Ottawa Animation Festival in 2005. Watch Villard’s seven minutes of glorius black and white.
