Clips from upcoming Ren and Stimpy DVD
Hey, animation fans, John Kricfalusi has posted some clips from the upcoming DVD release
of Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon on his blog. The set is actually being called "The Lost
Episodes" and will contain cartoons from the short-lived SpikeTV series which brought Ren and Stimpy out of the
confines of children's animation and into a more ribald setting. Essentially, once the duo was re-imagined for SpikeTV
very little remained of their Nickelodeon days. This was either a welcome change or utter blasphemy, depending on
your stance as a fan. Personally, while I enjoyed the original Ren and Stimpy, I loved seeing them brought
back, even if it wasn't quite the same as before. Besides, I've never seen an animation studio push the boundaries
of TV cartoons the way Spumco does. See the clips here.Amid Amidi speaks to TV Squad
I'm a great admirer of Looney Tunes and animation from that era, so it's no
surprise that I found Amid Amidi's blog about style and design in
1950s animation to be quite interesting. He also has a new book, Cartoon Modern: Style and Design
in Fifties Animation which comes out this year. Amidi has written extensively on animation and design for
several publications, and in 2003 he worked on Ren and Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon for Spike TV. Given the
opportunity to speak with someone who has worked in the industry and who has a knowledge far exceeding my own, I asked
Amid to sit down for a brief e-mail confab. Here's what we talked about:
