A Bear for Punishment (1951)

"A Bear for Punishment", directed by the late and great Chuck Jones. This cartoon reminds me of when I was a little kid rushing home after school to watch Looney Toons and Merry Melodies cartoons on tv. The most memorable and my personal favourites, came from Chuck Jones and his team of animators. Like "What's Opera, Doc?" "Feed the Kitty" (with Marc Anthony the bulldog!) and the Three Bears series which this one is the 3rd of. Just to name a few!



Enjoy!

John Carter

Here's the first teaser trailer for the movie that I'm currently working on "John Carter" directed by Andrew Stanton.



Very much a teaser!

Video Reference - Gianluca Fratellini

Here's an awesome video by Gianluca Fratellini, who I currently work with at Double Negative on "John Carter". Here are his reference videos that ended up being shots for the movies "Paul" and "Planet 51".



And Stein makes an appearance in it! Everybody say hi to Stein.

HI STEIN!!!
