What else can you say about Bill Melendez the man who animated Charlie Brown. In his own words we get a glimpse of his world as he tells of his first meeting at Disney as he applied for a job. Bill has worked for the big animation studios before he landed the Peanuts gig.

Dr. Finklestein Figure

As usual, JUN Planning did an incredible job with this toy, complete with rolling wheelchair and cloth costume! But the true crowning touch is...

...an opening head, filled with the two separate halves of the good doctor's brain! Now that's toymaking!

Creature Comforts Figurine- Pickles The Dog

The sculpts are strong, the paint work is simple but tight, and there's a nice variety of materials - check out the metal harness handle!

The bad news you won't find these in any stores except eBay. The good news is you can order them from the UK - there's a site called The Prezzy Shop that sells this figurine (along with others from the show). You can buy Pickles for about $14.00 U.S. + shipping. If that doesn't work, try aadrmarket.com's Creature Comforts shop, which has it for $10.00 + shipping.

HOTTER AND FACTORY ROLL OUT ANKLE INJURY

Here's an intricate take on pixelation from London-based director Wade Shotter, formerly a freelance illustrator and agency AD now repped by Factory Films in the UK and Fish 'n' Clips downunder. The track is "Ankle Injury" by Fujiya & Miyagi and the animation comes courtesy of Aukland's versatile Yukfoo. The band's previous video by Brighton animation studio Blunt74 was posted on Feed here. And how, you may ask, did I find that previous post so fast? Check out the new "Search FEED" function in the right column.
