It should surprise no one that “The Simpsons Movie” crushed the rest of the movies on its opening weekend at the box office. Not only has the fanbase for this movie been built since 1986, the Simpsons have become a cultural institution in this country. No matter how old, lame and out of touch one is, everyone still knows where that ubiquitous “D’oh” comes from.
Ah, Simpsons. What a long, strange trip it’s been. Now, the cynics out there will tell you that the Simpsons jumped the shark roughly eight years ago, and they have a pretty good case for that assertion. The first eight seasons of the show have to be recognized by anyone with half a brain as eight seasons of the highest quality, most transcendent television ever made. I can remember the first time I saw a Simpsons short on the Tracy Ullman show [Read more…]

Devin Clark, a wild animation director and Channel Frederator alum, has been commissioned by Comedy Central to create an online series. So far two episodes have premiered and they are both hilarious.
*Devin was also one of the directors who made Frederator’s “Secret Life of Robots” an award winning film!

In a time of heroes, the mighty warrior Beowulf slays the demon Grendel and incurs the wrath of its monstrous yet seductive mother, in a conflict that transforms a king into a legend.
Groundbreaking director Robert Zemeckis offers a vision of the Beowulf saga that has never been told before. Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Shangri-la Entertainment present “Beowulf,” starring Angelina Jolie as Grendel’s mother, Anthony Hopkins as the corrupt King Hrothgar, and Ray Winstone as Beowulf. The film also stars John Malkovich, Brendan Gleeson, Dominic Keating, Alison Lohman, Robin Wright Penn and Ray Winstone.
Neil Gaiman (”MirrorMask,” the graphic novel Sandman) and Roger Avary (”Pulp Fiction”) adapted the legend for the screen.

This is the Trailer for Max Neptune & The Menacing Squid!!!
Pretty cool eh?
What if I was to tell you that this was a film made by 2 awesome guys (and their crew) from Whittier, Ca. with nothing but a fairly good camera and decent greenscreen?
Yup. Thought so. Close your mouth, you look silly with it hanging down. (Plus you’re drooling saliva on me!)
Oh yea, I forgot to mention that they casted their actors, found their makeup artist, and began promoting MN all on Myspace(dot)com.
This is true indy cred here. David slaying Goliath, in this case, the little guys are about to topple the Giant Beast that is Hollywood. I’ve been excited about this project ever since my friend Colin first started on it.

This Channel Frederator Featured Film makes great use of the program flash, and it’s nice and very refreshing to see someone using it as creatively as Choom Lan.
Choom presents us with a short and simple, well designed tale about a monster and his little dog friend-monster.
Thanks for submitting Choom!

Fox released a new trailer for the Blue Sky film “Horton Hears a Who”.
While the decision to remake an already animated short story into a feature is a questionable one (why not put all that time, effort, talent, and money into something new?), the trailer looks great from a visual standpoint. It looks like a Seuss book in 3D, so they are successful in that regard. We’ll have to wait for the film to see if it captures the essense of the book.
I tried to find an embedable version of the trailer for this post, but I couldn’t find one that will work with our blogging technology (instead, click on the first line of this post to go to a page to download the trailer). I did find the Chuck Jones film though. Enjoy:
