It's always great to showcase the animation of new members on AN, especially when it's a collective of independent animators who are doing their own creative thing. This is from The Wire Room, a group of three feature animators in the UK who've come up with a pilot episode to pitch for a property of theirs called 'Time Avengers'.
The aim of this project is to show the potential of the show and how an expensive look could be achieved on a relatively low budget with a small crew of artists. Their pitch package consists of a Pitch Bible with concept art, episode synopsis, character artwork, back stories and story arcs as well as this excellent footage. It was all created in just 8 months by the 3 members of The Wire Room with the additional assistance of Musician Chris Hill and voice actors Tim Dickinson and Suzy McLintock. Here's their YouTube Channel and here's the pilot for Time Avengers. The Forum topic is here.

If you were around in 1967, you would've enjoyed this stop motion animated TV special by Rankin Bass. "Mad Monster Party?" was a product of its day, a lot of groovy fun with Fankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and other ghouls including Phyllis Diller to round off the all star cast. Here's the trailer for the show. If you're looking to see extended video on the making of this iconic Halloween special follow this link to the documentary.

There's a lot of chatter and anticipation as Tim Burton's stop motion feature film "Frankenweenie" is heading closer to release a year from now on October 5, 2012. Did you know that this movie is based on a previous live action film he produced in 1984? At the time, Disney considered it too scary for kids to watch. Here's Tim Burton himself introducing his original Frankenweenie followed by the film. There's also some recently released images of the upcoming feature that are available for viewing here.

The journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. That's Hollywood's version. The original Lorax is a story about an entrepreneur getting in over his head and winds up destroying the environment. Directed by Chris Renaud and featuring the voices of Danny DeVito, Zac Efron, Ed Helms, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle and Betty White among others, it still looks to be an entertaining animated motion picture experience. Below is the trailer for the upcoming film by Universal, with the Forum topic here.
