Once again, The Simpsons “Steamed Hams” segment has inspired the Internet to produce an alternate version, this one in terrifying Soviet-style animation.
The juggling Crusty is pure nightmare fuel.

Halloween Horrors: Steamed Hams as Terrifying Soviet Animation
Thursday, October 12th, 2023Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Slomo” (Domo Slomo)
Sunday, October 24th, 2021I think I posted a live version of this song, but not this album version. And as a bonus, this version features footage from the Domo Kun stop motion animated show, of meme fame.
Movie Trailer: Phil Tippett’s Mad God
Thursday, August 5th, 2021Phil Tippett is the stop-motion animator who worked on the first two Star Wars movies, as well as being the visual effects supervisor for some of the Twilight movies (man’s got to eat). Now he’s directed an entire stop-motion movie it took him some thirty years to produce, and it looks way trippy:
It sort of looks like Jan Svankmajer, Ladislas Starevich, a survival horror game and the war machine sequence from The Thief and the Cobbler got together and birthed a mutant cinematic baby.
Is it any good? Eh, maybe. Interesting visually, but it sounds plotless.
Halloween Horrors: Mickey Mouse in The Haunted House
Wednesday, October 16th, 2019Coming just one year after “Steamboat Willie,” “The Haunted House” was already the fourteenth Mickey Mouse animated short, as Walt Disney wasted no time getting his studio up to speed after splitting with Winkler Pictures.
Hope you like dancing skeletons and xylophone music…
Halloween Horrors: The Ghost of Stephen Foster
Monday, October 14th, 2019Enjoy a ditty by the Squirrel Nut Zippers accompanied by some fine animation aping the “rubber hose” style of classic Betty Boop.
Halloween: Betty Boop’s Snow White
Monday, October 3rd, 2016It’s October already, so time to start putting up some Halloween posts, so here’s Betty Boop’s version of Snow White. Really digging those crazy background images during the Cab Calloway song…
The End of the Llamas With Hats Saga
Thursday, March 5th, 2015I’ve mentioned Llamas with Hats before. While I wasn’t looking, the people at Filmcow went out and completed the saga.
The verdict? Eh. The combination of humor and disturbing off-screen violence of the first few hit the spot, but they gradually cranked up the disturbing while sidelining the humor.
Not the choice I would have made.
Here are all twelve for your viewing pleasure.
Three is still the funniest.

Big Animation Cel Auction December 18
Wednesday, December 17th, 2014There’s a reasonably big auction of animation cels drawings, production stills, etc. starting December 18 at 11 AM PST. Interesting stuff, from a number of Disney films, a few Warner Brothers (including One Froggy Evening, the animated Star Trek, and even Ralph Bakashi’s Wizards.
And those of you with $40,000 burning a hole in your pocket can bid on an original Chuck Jones oil painting of Daffy Duck:
Dinsey Finally Doing Incredibles 2
Tuesday, March 18th, 2014Well, we only had to wait a decade, but Disney has finally announced that Brad Bird is starting to write the script for the sequel to The Incredibles. You know, it was only the best film Pixar ever did. No need to rush or anything.
Now let’s hope they don’t screw it up…
An April Fools Making Fiends
Saturday, April 7th, 2012Sometime I’ll have to post my long in gestation piece on why I love Amy Winfrey’s Making Fiends, a successful web animations series that Nickelodeon made into a a swell TV show it failed to adequately promote.
In the meantime, enjoy this April Fools episode, which, if you haven’t followed the original series, probably won’t make much sense to you…
