I’m excited by the look of ‘Holi Hanna’ (or “Hanna’s Helpline” for English release), a new stop-mo show from the Welsh Fourth TV Authority. It’s in production at Calon and is set to air in April of this year. It’s a pre-school show about an “Agony Aunt” duck and her various animal pals and, well, LOOK AT IT. It looks darned cute. You can see some preview clips here.

To those of you who remember Chilly Willy, the asexual penguin, here is the theme song that will be stuck in your head all weekend. I don’t know how many times I tried to make a phone in the snow as a child. Also check out the original Tex Avery short, I’m Cold, on Daily Motion, that was the first appearance of Chilly Willy. For those of you who live in the South, his likeness is replicated on every grocery store and gas station window advertising ice still to this day.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Bandai’s delightful micro-series, Panda Z? WELL I DO. Last year at WonderCon I spent waaaaay too much money on a very extravagant diecast Panda Z action figure….but I mean honestly HOW COULD I NOT?!?

Check out the student film called Fairy Berry. The CG work is by Thomas Guittoneau, Yacine Sefsaf, Virginie Giroux and Ho Hung Yu. What’s nice about it is how stylized they made the CG work.

I am hard pressed to recall what exactly I did before YouTube was invented. I certainly didn’t watch such amazing existential spanish videos featuring Elmo and a squeezy-pig. Translation of the captions (as far as I can reckon) (Please correct me if I’m wrong!!) is:

“Are we alone out there,
like pigs in the big universe?
Between the eternal you, and the eternal me?
No - we are not alone
We have one another
Together until infinity
2007, Year of the Pig”
