SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM ARCHIE!
Today, I received this Christmas card from my pals at ARCHIE COMICS.
A Very Merry Cricket: Background Art
Keeping up with the Christmas theme, may I share with you some screen grabs of Chuck Jones' 1973 television special "A Very Merry Cricket", which was itself a sequel to "The Cricket in Time Square".
People of New York seem to have forgotten the Christmas spirit so Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse head off to the country to find help from their old friend, Chester C. Cricket, who once before calmed the citizens with soothing music.
You can find this classic special among other Chuck Jones Productions animated shows on The Chuck Jones Collection DVD from Lionsgate.

Roger Rabbit 2 Being Written?
This rumor seems to have been going on for years. According to recent interviews with the filmmaker, Robert Zemeckis has announced that a sequel(?) to Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is being planned and he will make use of motion capture technology plus 3D like the last films he has directed.http://movieblips.dailyradar.com/story/roger-rabbit-2-is-being-written/
I dunno, it could be a good thing and I would like to see Roger again, but in CG and 3D?
George & Junior's Christmas Spectacular
Here's a CN What a Cartoon Show short from 1995 starring Tex Avery's bear duo: George & Junior as they help Santa out by delivering a present that's been left behind.There was a short series of George & Junior shorts produced for Hanna-Barbera by Patrick A. Ventura who used a really wild, cartoony style. The animation is very limited, but the gags and drawings make good use of it.
