Here are some more animatic clips of current cartoons in production:
Niki Yang’s “Vampire Monkeys” Specter has created an army of vampire monkeys who are in this clip stuck in an elevator (just trying to leave Specter’s hideout). A “hot cross bun” appears and tries to enter the elevator, terrifying all the vampires!
Dave Cunningham’s “Size Matters” One of Specter’s monkeys messes with his machine and gets shrunk to a tiny size…in this scene, he is inside Specter’s brain bouncing around and causing Specter in involuntarily act out!
We had our first record on October 5th, recording an amazing 9 (2-minute) Episodes in 4 hours! From left to right featuring our extremely talented voice talent: Annie Mumulo (voice of Jimmy and Natalie!), Greg Ellis (voice of the villian, Specter!), Mike Gray (Story Editor/Head Writer), Eric Bauza (Monkeys, Professor, and the creepy Hot Cross Bun!). The record went fantastic, with everyone turing in hilarious performances!
Mike Bell’s “I Scream” produced this classic line by Specter after the Monkeys begin making music with the cash register, “You’re bewitching me with your rhythms!”
On Sept 5th we reviewed the first wave of cartoon boards from Don Dougherty , Niki Yang, Mike Bell , and Adam Muto (and they were all terrific)! And Sept 6th, we began with our second group of artists which include Doug Tennapel, Niki Yang, Dave Cunningham , , Andrew Dickman, and Doug Gray !
I was about to post these two pieces of Ape Escape Cartoons art (below) when, on a whim, I searched ‘Ape Escape’ on Flickr and I came upon this cool piece above.
