The film was up for an Oscar in 2003 but lost out to Pixar's Finding Nemo, but I personally think this should of won it that year. I finally picked up the DVD just yesterday and have already watched it twice more, it really is one of my favourite animated features of the last decade. First up, here's the 1930's-inspired intro scene, which features some great rubber hose animation. It looks even better moving. Sorry I haven't got all the best frames, I'm pretty much taking these at random.
These fat ladies and their scrawny little husband’s squeezing out of the limos is just superb.
The Triplets themselves. The song they sing gets stuck in my head for days. "Swingin' Dancin' Rendez Vooooo~!"
This scene is hilarious. You just have to see this bit moving. And the little blokes transform into monkeys and nick her bananas! Ace!
This is where the rubber-hose animation comes into full gear. I wish I was better at this screen capturing business.
This scene is in a completly different style to the rest of the film, which I will bring you screens of soon. Trust me when I say this is a endlessy unique looking film throughout, with some ingenius character designs. If you haven't seen it yet, I fully reommended that you do, plus it shouldn't be so hard to find (well, not Mind Game hard) and I manged to pick it up for £8. Whatever you do, just see it somehow if you haven't already.

Cool. They're faces are sometimes kinda boring, but overall that looks pretty cool, I'd like to see it in motion.
Your probably right there about the faces, particulay with the fat ladies, but this scene has nothing on what the rest of the film looks like, which I will post screen caps of soon.
That movie is pretty cool, i wish there were more of that kind of stuff. I see you also like Mind Game, you must have some good taste.
Thanks for posting these images! This scene is really fun and that song is so catchy too.
Swingin' Dancin' Rendez Voooooo~!!!
Are the creators of this film up to anything these days?
Oh hey - I finally saw MINDGAME - it was amazing of course.

Marc: Yeah, Chomet is developing a new movie about a magician at the moment, that might be ready in the next couple years. I remember seeing a documentary about this guy on the BBC once, and you could see him drawing out frames of the new film.
Trobot: I can't really say as I can't find them.

Cool, I'll have to look out for that. Thanks!
ok haha
im basicly asking if you agree on any of the following..
south park is 10 times as funny as any cartoon john has ever made
ren and stimpy didnt ''evolve''
being funny is much more important than having good animation.
those were my main points.
Don't agree with the first one. While the Ripping Freinds was rubbish, I prefer Ren & Stimpy over South Park by miles. While people won't get South Park in the future, Ren & Stimpy will remain timeless.
Kind of agree with the 2nd one, in that their character designs didn't change a whole lot over the years. They had hundreds of expressions yes, but they didn't chnage in the way Bugs Bunny did. This willbe because as with all modren TV cartoons, all the designing had to be more or less sorted for the pitch, as far as I can tell. The very early pitch drawings of Ren Hoek were pretty different though: He had more bigger ears and dot eyes.
Depends with the 3rd one. Sometimes the animation IS the funny part, but if there's next to nothing that can't happen in real life, then no matter how funny it is, it may as well be live action.
