Mike & Don


From Mike Judge (Beavis & Butt-Head, King Of The Hill, & Office Space) and Don Hertzfeldt (Rejection, Meaning Of Life, & Everything Will Be Alright) presents:

THE ANIMATION SHOW


Win, a friend who used to live next to me, invited me to this show where Judge and Hertzfeldt showcase some animation clips ranging from 1 to 20 minutes. They do this every 2 years (starting in 2003) and it's an impressive show. Animators include Run Wrake, Gaelle Dennis, Max Hatter, Shane Acker, Daniel Nocke, Bill Plympton, Remi Chaye, Oury Atlan, Joanna Quinn, Pez, and of course Judge & Hertzfeldt.


A couple things about some of the animators I learned in trivia; Bill Plympton worked with Kanye West and several other artists, Joanna Quinn is the animator that does the current Charmin commercials, and Shane Acker is working with the great Tim Burton on a future feature film (animated of course).


It was an impressive show. It also featured the favorite Beavis & Butt-Head episode "The Great Cornholio". I really enjoyed it and look forward to future tours. Check them out at www.animatonshow.com or www.myspace.com/animationshow.com.
