My Favorite 60's Cartoon Theme

2009-11-27T10:46:00.000-08:00

Click Here to listen to the full Jonny Quest TV Theme Song

This is one of the most influential shows that I watched as a kid. We were so exciting after watching an episode that we would engage in these imaginative role-play scenarios. (Nobody wanted to be the bad guy because everyone knew what happens to the bad guy.) We made these characters larger than life, much larger than they really were. So much so that when we watch an episode on Retro-TV we wonder where all the animation went. Our memories of the shows were so much more full. I think that the imagination just naturally fills in the gaps that are lacking. My case in point is the Pixar movie "The Incredibles". This movie takes all the Saturday morning adventure cartoons, rolls them into one, and adds those elements which tap into the nostalgia of the audience. I could watch that movie over and over because it reminds me of the games that I played growing up. I think this is a big part of the reason why I make cartoons for a living. I want to spin a whole new generation off into their imaginative role-play. Who knows what fantastic ideas they will come up with.

Thanks H&B for giving us Jonny Quest.

Calgary Film Studio Project

Here is a link to compelling news for Calgary media artists.

http://www2.canada.com/calgaryherald/iphone/entertainment/latest/story.html?id=2221316

Steve and I were in Vancouver to witness the explosion of the animation industry there, and Calgary with its rich talent pool and companies with vision and fortitude seems to be reaching the same critical mass. It's exciting to be here at this time and to be part of this dynamic shift, to experience an arts community becoming an industry.
