Animated Aldaz

"Song of the sea" is art in motion. This beautiful hand-drawn animated film is a fantasy in itself, every frame a work of art. These talented filmmakers capture the wonder of Hayao Miyazaki in this multidimensional Irish folk tale. Adults and children alike will enjoy this movie, which I'm clearly highly recommending.

12 people are dead in France because they expressed themselves through art and someone didn't like it. How sad. "The world has become so serious, that humor is a risky profession" Quote by Bernardo Erlich, photo by @rafaelmantesso

"On a scale of 1 - 10, how would you rate your pain?" Well Baymax, I have to say 1! Its super predictable story line is made up for by the creative design and absolutely lovable characters shown in this film. Enjoyable for adults, this animated film is pleasant for kids with memorable moments. Nothing scary to give little ones nightmares. It's obvious to me that a lot of time and care was put into the design of the city, a nice blend of San Francisco and Tokyo, as well as the character design to make cg manga-like characters stand out individually a well as a group. Go check it out, I promise you it will be better than you imagined :)

Brad Bird's latest film, "tomorrowland" released it's teaser trailer today!

Newly released stills from Disney's upcoming short "Feast" reveals an adorable Boston Terrier named Winston, the lead in a short about an adopted dog who bonds with his new owner over food. "Feast" will be shown before "Big Hero 6"

T-Rex sketches I did yesterday while working on a mini project.

Glen Keane's latest traditionally animated short, "Duet." His art never ceases to amaze me.

First trailer for Disney's "Big Hero 6" released today! "Big Hero 6" is loosely based on the not-super-well-known comic series. The whole thing has been reset by Disney and takes place in the fictional city called San Fransokyo. The story ceneters around the little hero you see here, Hiro Hamada, and his self-created robot Baymax.

Godzilla: I came for an action-packed dinosaur themed monster movie and that’s exactly what I got. Major kudos to the visual and special-effects teams, who took all Godzilla’s before it and improved on every level. The sounds of the monsters reminded me of the recognizable sounds of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, best heard (and felt) in a movie theater. The destruction is realistic, grand, but not over-the-top. Believe it or not, I actually have to give a shout out to the editing. The film was cut showing the perfect amount of action so that it wasn’t too much or too little. The two major downfalls are with various logistics (such as: leaving your phone in another room on vibrate when you haven’t heard from your loved one - whom could be dead, and you’ve “been trying to find”) and 95% bad acting. The only actors who were good were Ken Wantanabe and Bryan Cranston. I’m able to over look those two things to enjoy what I came for and leave entertained and with a smile. (And maybe wanting some new Godzilla toys)

I did these illustrations for my friend whose dog of 15 years passed away recently. She was a schnauzer named Sandy and my friend had her since she was a puppy. These were done on sketch paper with pencil and colored pencils.

First teaser trailer for Blue Sky's animated Peanuts movie

Whipped up this painting this afternoon. Acrylic on hard canvas board.

Hey, were you ever a kid? Great, then you'll enjoy "The Lego Movie." :) lol. That movie hits all points on ever being a kid playing with Legos and using your imagination. It's funny, super creative, and even sentimental. The animation was tip top too. I adored the stop motion style with the many nods of how one plays with toys. If you haven't seen it already, do so, because "everything is awesome" ;)

100 years ago today "Gertie the Dinosaur" by Windsor McCay was shown to the world. Gertie is considered by many to be the first animated cartoon, for it was the first to use key frame animation. She's certainly the first character animation, and I love that it was a dinosaur Here is the full film, but I know its slow, so if you want to see the animation, start it at 6:54. Happy 100th birthday Gertie
