John K. Animated Short Shows Furries in Love

Animation legend John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy) takes us inside the world of Furry romance in this short made for Adult Swim.

In this Furries short I wanted to see how to do wall to wall dialogue like how most modern cartoons in primetime are done. The only wall to wall dialogue cartoons that ever really inspired me though were Fred Crippen's Roger Ramjet. I always liked the funny cutting and quick camera moves and wanted to try something like that myself.

Hence the fast cuts and silly camera moves in this. I also like early limited animation where parts of the character are held and other parts move. Only they usually try to hide that contrast by making the movement very slight or non descript. I thought I would instead do the opposite. I made what moved be goofy to contrast against the frozen parts.

Robot Chicken: Aquaman Vs. Big Oil

Poor Aquaman. He tries, and that's what counts. I mean it would count more if he succeeded, but still.

Superman's had his leg pulled one too many times, and it's turned him into a total dick in this clip from Robot Chicken. Stop taking advantage of the Man of Steel, kids!

Robot Chicken Does 'Green Lantern'

Robot Chicken returned to Adult Swim on Sunday night, taking on many subjects ripe for the parodying, including Green Lantern. Any dignity Hal Jordan had left after pretty much flunking summer blockbuster season at the movies was removed by archnemesis Sinestro, along with a couple of other appendages. In case you missed it, or if you just want to watch it again, check it out below.

Awesome News 2: 'The Boondocks' Will Return With Season 4

Well this is a total shocker, and truly spectacular news for fans of great animation: months after fairly definitive reports to the contrary, The Boondocks is officially returning to Adult Swim with a fourth season.

Screen Rant got the news at Comic-Con from casting director extraordinaire Andrea Romano (Batman: The Animated Series, Pinky and the Brain, Avatar: The Last Airbender, etc.)

They’re making new ones – I just got word they’re gonna make another season. Can you believe it? After all this time. It’s been out of production for almost two years…The line producer sent me an email and said ‘I believe it’s snowing in hell – do you know what that means?’ and I said, ‘Are we making more episodes?’ Because we all said ‘It’ll snow in hell before we make more,’ because we just never thought after that much time they would [make it]. But apparently there is a fanbase desire and I love the show. I love making the show.

And we love watching it. Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder never officially said "it's over," but quite a few well-connected websites reported that the show was finished, and Adult Swim ran some rather sad bumpers to the effect of [if Aaron ever wants to make more, we'd love to air them - but don't hold your breath].

Not to mention - spoiler alert! - Boondocks season three frequently touched on the theme of finality, and ended in spectacular fashion that suggested there was no way that the show was coming back.

Snowing in hell, indeed. I am super-psyched to see this wonderful show return. They're not known for prompt production time, however, so don't be surprised if it's a pretty long wait before Huey, Riley, and Grandad return.

Children's Hospital Season 3 Promo Video

Children's Hospital recently released its complete first and second seasons on DVD, and just in time too, as season three is set to premiere June 2.

Check out this music video-style promo for one of the greatest comedies on TV; looks like we can expect more of Rob Corddry's Dr. Blake Downs, guest-stars galore, and a little bit of Tron-ified grid action.

New Adult Swim Game: Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars [Video]

Oh my sweet Jebus, and I thought Robot Unicorn Attack was addictive. This is actually ridiculously fun - heaven help me if it becomes an iPhone app, I'm done with producitivity forever.

Adult Swim describes its new crack viral game, Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars, thusly:

Your Martian fortress is under attack! When Queen Tarantula starts an uprising and takes the throne, it's up to you to teach her a lesson. Work your way through a dozen levels of twisty arcade mazes, every bit as punishing as the classic games that inspired them. Bind and ensnare everyone in sight with your power crystal, and don't stop until you've got Mars hanging from your spinneret!

Watch as much of the 30-minute(!) playthrough clip above as you like, and click here to play.
