I seem to have an uncanny ability to pick out a voice actor's work. For instance, did you realize that on the new Star Tours ride at DL, Patrick Warburton does the voice of the robot in the boarding area near the infrared camera? I picked that out the other day. Also good at finding Wendee Lee's work, as well as several other major vo actors. I can recognize celebrity voice actors in commercials very easily as well...like Tim Allen in Chevy's ads, Gene Hackman doing Lowes, etc. I just seem to be good at recognizing things like that.

Looks like that'd be a neat doc.

Why Watch? This is absolutely breath-taking work featuring stop-motion mastery and an entrancing story.

In Juan Pablo Zaramella‘s Luminaris, a young man who makes light bulbs just like he’d blow up bubblegum plots a plan he can’t execute by himself. It’s stunning work that puts smiles on faces like it was its job. With a whimsical score and a grounding creativity tied to a little light romance, it’s a must-see.

What will it cost? Only 5 minutes.

The Gorillaz’ Pete Candeland To Direct Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride Movie | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

I took a trip on the Disney theme park attraction Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride once. It involved a lot of keeping my eyes shut and covering my ears. It’s a trip straight to hell, don’t you know.

Very, very creepy.

The ride was based on Disney’s short toon of the same name, adapting a segment of The Wind in the Willows. The next iteration in this chain is to be a full length feature.

There’s no writer on the project at the moment, say Deadline, but Pete Candeland is directing. He’s the man behind a lot of the Gorillaz earlier (some say better) videos, and has a number of cracking commercials under his belt too.

Candeland’s Toad movie is to blend live action and CG. He’s got a lot of experience in this, and has mixed the two up to great effect before. We’re not looking at another Yogi Bear here.

One of my faves at Disneyland and I imagine it will more based on Wind in the Willows than a ride it is based on...but you get the idea.
 
‘Coraline’ Studio Laika Producing ‘Goblins,’ From ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ Animation Director | /Film

Animation house Laika has done a few supernatural-themed projects in a row, with Corpse Bride, Coraline and the forthcoming ParaNorman on its CV. Now the studio will make a third, as it plans to produce an adaptation of the Philip Reeve book Goblins, with Fantastic Mr. Fox animation director Mark Gustafson in the director’s chair. (Laika and Gustafson just worked together with Wes Anderson on a commercial for Sony, and the director has been at the head of many other commercial projects for the company.)

A few more details follow.

We don’t know who’ll write the picture at this point, and there is no voice cast announced just yet. We can pass along the book synopsis, however:

This is a wild world of magical creatures and heroic adventure from the extraordinary imagination of Philip Reeve. The squabbling goblins who live in the great towers of Clovenstone spend their time fighting and looting. Only clever young Skarper understands that dark magic created by a vanquished sorcerer is rising again. From the lands of men come fortune-seekers – and trolls, giants, cloud-midens, boglins, swamp monsters, tree-warriors and bloodthirsty goblins are swept into a fabulous magical conflict to thrill all fantasy fans.

Gustafson has also been involved with the stop-motion Pinocchio that Guillermo del Toro has been part of with the Jim Henson Company, Path? and Warner Bros.

RASCAL RACCOON’s RAGING REVENGE Acquired by Warner Bros. for Todd Strauss-Schulson

Welcome to Toonie Terrace, home of the fun-loving Merries and their jealous, bitter rivals, the Meanies. For all their shenanigans, no Meanie has ever murdered a Merrie… until now! After thousands of painful failed attempts, Rascal Raccoon has finally killed his arch-nemesis, the charming and adorable Jumpin” Jackalope. Rascal is overjoyed, but there”s one problem: what does he do now? With nothing left to obsess over, Rascal”s life falls apart. Fortunately, he soon finds a new target for his anger: the animator who created him!

Warner Bros. has acquired the graphic novel, Rascal Raccoon’s Raging Revenge, for Todd Strauss-Schulson to direct. The property, by Brendan Hay and Justin Wagner, pokes fun at Warner Bros.’ classic cartoon comedies, specifically the eternal and futile pursuit of animated predator and prey. If Strauss-Schulson’s name doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps you should go watch A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas again. A highlight of that film was a trippy clay-mation sequence which showed that Strauss-Schulson could handle the medium. An animated tale with a bit of a comedic edge seems tailor made for the director. I’m less enthused at the choice of Matt Fogel (Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son) to adapt, but perhaps the original creators will stay involved.

The first episode of the new Metalocalypse was pretty damn funny.

Also, anyone else watch Adventure Time? That show is ****ing weird.
 
Dammit. I missed the Metalocalypse premier!!

Adventure Time IS weird. But fun for some reason.
 
Adult Swim Picks Up Pilots HAROLD & KUMAR and Dan Harmon’s RICK & MORTY

The future of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network’s weird older brother, just got a little bit clearer, as the cable network has announced a bevy of new pilots that will compete for a schedule spot in 2012-2013. The most prominent of the bunch are an untitled animated continuation of the pot-fueled adventures of Harold & Kumar and Rick & Morty, a comedy from Community creator, Dan Harmon. The former is being scripted by franchise writers (and directors of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay) Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg and will see stars John Cho and Kal Penn giving voice to animated versions of themselves. Rick & Morty, meanwhile, follows the adventures of an inventor and his dimwitted grandson. Hit the jump for more.
Per The Live Feed, the remaining pilot orders consist of:

Coffin Dodgers: A 30-minute comedy about a rowdy retirement home from Drawn Together masterminds Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser.
King Star King: A 15-minute animated comedy that follows a “modern-day He-man who’s half-warrior, half-idiot” from Futurama writer Eric Kaplan.
Green Bench: The American Day Dream: A 30-minute live-actioner that focuses on a group of pals goofing off in an office building they bought to start a business.
Freestyle Love Supreme: A 30-minute live-actioner about rapping IT guys.
Rolling with Dad: A 30-minute animation about a brainy disabled man suffering through a witless family, produced by literary revisionist extraordinaire Seth-Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and Tim Burton.
Colonel Wallace: A 15-minute animated effort about a seemingly Colonel Sanders-based character from King of the Hill scribe Greg Cohen.

I remember seeing a commercial for it on AS not too long ago saying it was coming sometime this year. I don't remember when it said it was coming, but I remember being mad that it was such a long way out.
