The Totally unOfficial Toonography of Jessica P1

Thanks to Youtube user ImNotBadTV (who also runs the website http://www.imnotbad.com/ ) we can get “The Totally unOfficial Toonography of Jessica (Rabbit)”; a fan-made documentary which will gather anything related to Jessica Rabbit, from her earlier success and how she suddenly disappeared from the spotlights, along with some cool, rare collectibles and some unproduced items. It will be mainly devoted to Jessica, so many fans will be really delighted (although I’m more on the Roger side, rather than Jessica´s).

The first part of this documentary, featured above, shows some unseen drawings and concepts of the proposed-but-never-completed 4th. animated short, named “Hare in my Soup”, along with some animation cels of what appears to be the Roger Rabbit cartoon project, that was discarded because Disney and Amblin were not getting a fair agreement about the movie characters (as you might know, this is the real reason behind the existence of Bonkers and his saturday morning cartoon). As you can notice, both projects were looking fine and were ready to get off the drawing boards. Along with those projects, a Christmas special was projected and some theatrical animated shorts were being considered as well.

I can’t help but feel sad, and a little angry. Roger and Jessica deserved something better than some uninspired pins (which is the only thing we can get from the movie at this moment). Hope Zemeckis is really thinking about “Roger Rabbit 2”, since the honey bunny needs to make a lot of people laugh.

Thanks, ImNotBadTV!

Cartoon Network 2009 Calendar

Today I went back to work. I'm a graphic designer in a small advertising agency in Guadalajara (Mexico) and one of our clients is the biggest cable TV company in our country. It has a website mainly focused to children and tweens, and I design most of the stuff that's available for download on there. Also I design most of the contests that are featured on the site in a monthly basis, with awesome prizes in all of them (mainly videogame consoles and cool gadgets).

This morning I got a very useful and neat 2009 calendar from Cartoon Network. It features some characters I really like (Chowder, the Powerpuff Girls, Flapjack, Ben from Ben10, Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy), and you can write things on it with soft markers since it's plastified.

By the way, it says "Hacemos lo que queremos" (We do what we want, in spanish), which is the current campaign the network is running in Latin America.
