Disney's Recycled Animation

Another post borrowed from Cracked.com for your entertainment. -

You know those Disney hand-drawn feature films from back in the day? The ones considered the greatest animated works ever made? Well not only did their artists reuse a few frames here and there to save time, they reused entire scenes, just painting over the characters.

If you haven't seen this before, it'll blow your mind:

Yep, Disney's been recycling anything they've felt like since Snow White. And that's just the tip of the world's laziest iceberg; there are thousands of hours of YouTube videos showcasing just what a bunch of cheapskates the Disney dream factory really is.

Now that we think about it, Mickey and Minnie do have a slight resemblance.

Posting a blog about a blog, redundant? You're redundant.
But This blog features some amazing digital art, from a wide variety of artists and I suggest you check it out.



Here's a few I really liked:

Something most people don't know about me is that I love physics. I never took physics class, but during high school and part of college I would often spend my spare time reading a physics book I had bought. Yeah, I know, I'm a nerd. A friend showed me this website, xkcd.com, that hosts a bunch of web-comics made by a physicist. Here's a little example -


Hover your mouse over the last frame for a little extra.

Guy Goma

Another post borrowed from Cracked.com for your entertainment. -

Guy Goma was waiting on a job interview at the BBC when a receptionist wandered in and asked for "Guy." Of course, she was looking for Guy Kewney, who was going on air to speak about Apple and the Beatles suing each other because--and this just shows that you can revolutionize the handheld gadget industry and the pop music genre, yet still be complete and utter tools--they both thought they owned the rights to the word "apple." Goma apparently thought this was part of his job interview, and managed to show some surprising restraint considering how completely irrelevant the interview questions for Supply Manager were getting--until about halfway in he realizes, holy sh*t, this is actually going out on air:

Goma, perhaps hoping to prove beyond question that he is indeed an "adaptive multi-tasker who thinks on this feet," just up and rolled with it. Unsurprisingly, he didn't get the job. But since then, he's had a string of TV appearances, they might be making his life into a movie and he's become the official poster boy of "Goin' With the Flow" everywhere. Sorry, McCounaghey.

My good friend Tessa shared this image with me, I just had to share it with you guys.


wow.

So I checked out the website it was on, yayeveryday.com, and found quite a few other interesting things to share, enjoy:

Friedrich Wilhelm Voight

I just had to share this. I borrowed it from Cracked.com -

Friedrich Wilhelm Voight. Voight was screwed coming AND going, and not just because he lived in 19th century Germany. Voight didn't have a passport, so he couldn't get a job, and he didn't have a job, so he couldn't get a passport. In literary circles, that's what's known as a Catch-ef-this-is-bs. At his wit's end, Voight decided to capitalize on Germany's love for mindlessly following authority, scrounged up a little cash and bought a captain's uniform. He stopped five soldiers on their way to their barracks and ordered them to follow him, which they did--because he's wearing the special pants, so he's got to be an officer, right? Voight got them to arrest the mayor and treasurer, and ship them off to Berlin, then walked off with four thousand marks. Nobody at any point questioned his credentials or even asked why they'd never seen this captain before.

Presumably out of fear of being bludgeoned to death by his giant brass balls.
