Food Banks Need Help: Donate To One Near You

The economic recession has caused the loss of nearly 2 million jobs over the last several months. This means that many families across the country no longer have enough money to pay for their homes, medical costs, or their food.

Feeding America is the nation's largest hunger-relief charity. They operate a network of 206 food banks. These food banks are very important in providing hunger relief for those who need it. They supply local soup kitchens and various programs that feed undernourished kids.

 

The food banks cannot keep up with increasing need as job losses get worse in every part of the country. You can help by donating to the food bank closest to you. When you contact the food bank they will tell you how you can help them serve the local community.

Watchmen as Saturday Morning TV Cartoon
Posted: 12 Mar 09, 11:03:43

Here's a Watchmen trailer that's done as if it were a cheesy Saturday morning TV cartoon. It was made by animator Harry Partridge (aka Happy Harry). It's got an absurdly perfect theme song to go along with dead-on-the-money TV-style animation. I bet it's way better than the movie!





Remember, if you click through to the YouTube site, there may be content that is not suitable for young viewers.


Coraline: Official Film Trailer
Posted: 07 Feb 09, 07:02:41

Coraline is the stop-motion animated feature film of Neil Gaiman's novel. It is directed by Henry Selick and released by Focus Features. It's about a little girl who discovers an alternate reality in her home that is like a more interesting mirror image of her real life. The trailer looks really good. It's nice to see stop-motion animation like was done in The Nightmare Before Christmas. The effects were apparently all done by hand with miniature sets.




The Cat Came Back: Hilarious Animation
Posted: 25 Jan 09, 06:01:49

The Cat Came Back is a 1988 Oscar-nominated animation by Cordell Barker. It is simply one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen. It's based on an old folk tale about a man who tries desperately to get rid of an unwanted cat. Be careful. Really. This will make you laugh so hard your entire head might explode. Mine did.
