500 post milestone reached!

That’s right folks, TheAnimationBlog.com has reached its 500th post and I couldn’t be happier. I want to thank each and every one of you that visits. With every day that passes, T.A.B. gets more and more popular. I thank those who have spread the word to their friends and via the web by linking to articles on the site. I greatly appreciate it.

15 months and 500 posts. Not bad for a one man team. When I started the blog I had no idea that it would still be going strong today. As long as you all keep visiting, I’ll keep reporting the latest animation news and featuring the best animation videos from around the web.

Again, thank you very, very much!

The Art of Cars exhibit

Route 66 ends this year at Fairfax and Wilshire with the launch of a special exhibition “The Art of Cars,” the first-ever creative collaboration between Pixar Animation Studios and the Petersen Automotive Museum. “The Art of Cars” showcases the artistic process behind the creation of the animated feature film Cars. The exhibit will run from March 29 through November 2, 2008.

“The Art of Cars” exhibit includes more than 60 watercolor and pastel drawings, pencil and marker sketches, and a variety of three-dimensional pieces.

Since I live within driving distance, I may just go check this out. I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures to share with all of you.

Over 400 posts and one year later…

Who would have thought that a small idea I had while browsing the net would grow into what it is today. I started The Animation Blog a little over a year ago while sitting at my desk, watching classic cartoons on Youtube. Having founded many sites before, I said to myself… “I should start an animation blog” and 15 minutes later TheAnimationBlog.com was registered and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now one year later and over 400 posts (not bad for one person on staff…) I sit here, in the same location where it all began. I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for making The Animation Blog what it is today. Popularity increases on a monthly basis and for that, I sincerely thank you.

Please continue to visit and I’ll continue to write. Subscribe to the RSS feed and spread the word to your friends!

Once again, thank you!

I would to personally wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays if you don’t celebrate Christmas). I want to thank you all for such a great year. Here’s to me writing another Merry Christmas post next year! Now go have some fun with your family and friends and remember, don’t drink and drive because real life isn’t a Road Runner cartoon!

The Art of Ratatouille

JimHillMedia has very nice feature up that highlights some early Ratatouille art that is featured in the book, “The Art of Ratatouille”.

It is one of the more intriguing aspects of the production history of Pixar’s latest, “Ratatouille.” The fact that this animated feature started off with one director, Jan Pinkava, and then wound up being completed by yet another director, Brad Bird. So why exactly did that happen? More importantly, what would Jan Pinkava’s version of “Ratatouille” have been like?” Find out by clicking here.

100th post: A huge thanks to everyone!

Wow, 100 posts. When I started The Animation Blog I had no idea it would reach 100 posts this quickly. Not bad for about 3.5 months and only one person running things here.

I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I greatly appreciate each and every one of you who read the site. It started off slow, as with any site, and gradually grew. The site is still a long way from reaching its goal. I want The Animation Blog to be one of the best animation blogs on the net! With you help, this goal will be reached!

Once again, thank you!
