Organization: The Claremont Graduate School


With all this discussion about animation festivals and so on, I was
remembering a short I saw at a festival a couple of years ago (unfortunately,
I don't remember the name of the festival).  The short was called "Knick
Knack" and concerned the adventures of a snowman trying to get out of one of
those water-filled plastic balls that you shake to make it snow.  I
believe it was computer animated.

I went back twice just to see this short--it was the funniest damn piece of
animation I'd seen in a long time.  Can anybody tell me if it's available
on tape, and if so, where I can get it?
Thanks!

Hey, I have never had a problem understanding "JacMac and Radboy"!

"Panspermia" is available on the SIGGRAPH Video Review Issue No. 62.
Many computer animations are available on the SIGGRAPH Video Reviews;
it is one of the best collections of computer graphics work around, IMHO.
Most of the NTSC tapes cost $60 (US) for non-SIGGRAPH members; the PAL
versions (limited to newer issues) cost $115.  The tapes are available in
two formats: 1/2" VHS - two issues per tape (2 hours)
             3/4" U-Matic - one issue per tape (1 hour)

A note for purists: I watched a copy of "The Mind's Eye" at a store
and I noticed that some of the pieces that I had previously seen at the
SIGGRAPH conference had been re-named and had a different soundtrack.
The different names didn't bother me but having a different soundtrack
affected the mood of some of the pieces.  Your mileage may vary. :-)

All right! I knew when I saw Tom Reuger it should be good.  That was
IMO the best plotted/scripted BTAS yet (possible contender is Heart of
Ice by Paul Dini, also from Tiny Toons.  Coincidence?  I think not).

I was really pissed when I thought Stockwell was "converted" just by
seeing his kid.  Augh!  Not the old "Incredibly tough and nasty
bastard for 50 years has a single 'touching' experience and turns into
philanthropist" cliche.  I'd really enjoyed the episode till then.  I
was doubly happy then when it turned out he was faking it.  All right!
They did have the somewhat predictable resolution, but not nearly as
bad as I expected.  Five Bats!

Who ever decided that animation can only be about "funny stuff"?

You can have real drama and deep storytelling using animation.
Here's a free clue:  I'm not talking about the BATMAN show.
It's a start, true, but it still has a lot (and I mean a LOT)
to go before it's even close to the potential of animation.

of some other X-folks (one of Gambit's charged up cards, Storm, Cyke)  that
looked okay.  Time will tell, however.

	The cartoon short, "Knick Knack," was animated by the good folks of
Pixar, Inc.  They are also the people that did "Tin Toy," andd that 
computer animated piece won the Oscar for Best Short.

	Yes, the films are available.  I don't have the phone number with me
here, but they are available on a single VHS cassette for about $50.00(+/-).
I post to here again when I get home and can look up the phone number,
ordering info, etc.

	Also, included is a piece called "Red's Dream," which is an absolute
knockout for emotion in animation.  Finally, there is another piece called
"Luxo, Jr.," which gets MY vote for the funniest piece of filmwork (live or
animated) that I've ever seen (IMHO, of course (:-)).

	BTW, there's another newsgroup, "comp.graphics.animation," which
has people from Pixar subscribing to it.  If you are a computer-animation
freak (such as myself), it can be a wealth of information.

I can provide at least a skethcy answer for this one.  "Open the Door, 
Richard" was a song, and if memory serves a very popular one in the forties.
It was a hit for Louis Jordan and, I believe, in various other versions.
That's as specific as I can get.  I remember reading this on the liner notes
of a Little Richard greatest hits album--LR picked up the tempo of the song
and turned it into "Keep A-Knockin' (But You Can't Come In)."  If I'm wrong
about any of this, I'm sure someone out there will set me straight...

That bothered me too.  The only thing I was able to come up with is
that Batman wasn't looking at the mind-control card, he was looking at
a tag from the costume the guy was wearing and the costume comes from
the Wonderland Theme Park.

I don't know why they ever made Dogboy... it's just a remake of the

My favorite thing about this episode was that Gordon came up with the Bat-
Signal on his own.  Too often in this series Gordon has been portrayed as
little more than a lackey to ol' pointy-ears, less competent than Alfred or
even Robin.  Of course, this is also true of the comics and movies.  But
many if not most of the best Batman stories--Frank Miller's stuff, for
instance, show Gordon to be a good cop who is a hero in his own right.  If
he's ever allowed to make a collar himself on BTAS, I'll stand up and cheer.

At least two WB characters come to mind that used the Lenny persona.  Firstly, 
the Abominable Snowman character, who tended to mangle Bugs and Daffy with his 
affection.  Then in several shorts there would be a stupid dog chasing Bugs, 
who would often ask, "Which way did he go George?  Which way did he go?"
