Next Tuesday, June 10, is the day we announce the winners of the 2008 Channel Frederator Awards. Just like in 2007 it was an embarrassment of riches, and I’m sure when you voted, just like all of us, it was hard making a decision in every category. We’re all lucky to have the greatest filmmakers in the world allowing us to share their cartoons on Channel Frederator.

A big disappointment this year is we’re not going to be able to meet as many of you in person as we’d like and hand out the Freddies in person. Logistical issues bolixed us up and we’re concentrating on delivering a great online event rather than a live party.

Please join us starting June 10 for the round up and announcement of all our great winners. We’ll start that day, and then two special episodes a week for the next four weeks, highlighting the winners [Read more…]

Crusader Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tom Terrific, Huckleberry Hound, The Flintstones, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Pinocchio,  Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, Adventure Time, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Everyone has their own list, but it all adds up to happiness, doesn’t it? I mean, why cartoons? What other choice do we have?

Why Cartoons? Because I’ve got a disbelief demanding to be willingly suspended.
When I was a kid, my whole world (i.e. whatever spewed out of the boob tube) was one big cartoonish stew of unreality, but [Read more…]
