Epic poster art for Paul Johnson's short animated film, TIE Fighter
What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that's all but vanished from Japan nowadays? Well, I tried my best.
This wasn't quite what I was expecting when I opened it, but it's pretty well done anyways. Could have used some more lines from the movie I thought. Marty! It's not you, it's your drawings!
This animation shouldn't require much introduction (but maybe it does as it's kind of old and you're so young). "End of ze World" was created by a guy called Fluid in 2003, and it was one of the early viral internet animations. In a pre-YouTube era when emailing giant swf files around or finding someone to host the animation was the way to go. Of course, we do have YouTube now so... Figured better post this before the Mayan end of the world goes down later. Legendary.
After being under strict wraps for a long time, the formerly known as "Untitled Star Wars animated tv series" - now known as Star Wars Detours - was recently revealed to the world through a trailer and series of promo clips (watch the 6 clip playlist below). The notable thing about it is that Star Wars uber-geeks and Robot Chicken masterminds Seth Green and friends are involved. So what you get is an animated version of the Robot Chicken Star Wars specials sort of. It's hard to knock as those specials are legend-ary. Definitely some of the funniest, most rewatched and referenced humour around Yesterday's Cheese. And on that note, it seems fitting that this post, our 500th, is on the Star Wars humour tip. Not only is it our most frequent post tag, but like I said, the Star Wars Robot Chicken episodes are easily some of our favorite stuff ever. Anyways, we'll see where Detours goes - tagline for the show is "the other side of the stars, between the wars". It might end up pretty cheesy, but as far as Star Wars humour goes, should be pretty hard to screw up.
Pingu, everyone's favourite South Pole penguin, was always kind funny. This rendition of him and friends in a remake of classic horror bit The THING, is automatically a must watch of course.
animated opening title sequence for Dutch science show "Het Klokhuis" (The Apple Core). It is Hollands oldest youth television show, covering everything from the history of dinosaurs to how an iPhone is made.
