My advice, look back to your old stuff and work from there. Keep in mind however I know nothing about art. If this makes no sense and wouldn't work please disregard.

The saving of Springfield. My favourite scene from The Simpsons Movie, because as everyone knows, I rather enjoy ridiculous over-the-top high-flying heroics.

Thanks gang.
'Stang - I agree. I've always found Futurama to be more enjoyable and pointed than The Simpsons, which I think has a lot to do with the Science Fiction component. Sci Fi can do so much more than grounded fiction based in contemporary reality. It can brave the final frontiers, visit strange new worlds; seek out new life, new civilizations. Boldly go where no Man has gone before.
It can explore humanity unbound by any situational constraints.
Isaac Asimov once said: "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

Silence! I concur.
As much as I love The Simpsons, Futurama is just vastly better. It's, in my opinion, the ultimate belending of high and low brow humor. You can have an obscure physics joke and then 30 seconds later Fry is getting repeatedly struck by lightning. Not the best example but it was the best I could do without having to think to much at 11PM and it gets the point across.

Also robots. I guess. Great pic(s) Coldy - I still haven't got round to seeing The Simpsons Movie - which is *probably* a bad thing I guess, but I love the pic all the same. But I sware, that Futurama pic is fantastic. Wish I could say the same for my earlier work. And I still don't think my forshortening is that good. Gotta love the LOTR pics FordMustang, nice one

I just saw the Simpsons movie recently. If anything, the animation was spectacular, especially if you consider that none of it was CGI.
Like how you've captured that moment, coldy.

The key word there is critics. These are the people who sing the praises of every stupid show on TV and dump on the few good ones. Critics' opinions aren't any better or more valid than anybody else's, they just get payed to give them.

I think it's hilarious that traditional shoestring 2-D Japanese animation has a far wider and larger fanbase than any of the 3-D Pixar crap.

Eh, they're both pretty unimpressive.

Meh. There's only one CGI movie I really like, and that's Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Arch - Did you note the scene I stole from AC in Blame it on the Brain? All the Planet Express crew help to fling Fry higher and higher in the air to confront Onespawn... same as the FF7 gang did for Cloud in AC to take down Bahamut Sin. I love that part.

I thought it was for nostalgia. Especially when Homer and Bart finally ended up jumping the Springfield gorge - I love the surprised look on their faces after they land.

I think there's going to be a wider appeal for digital 2-dimensional animation... Adult Swim's flash based cartoons are a good example of this. It's a really nice medium for devlopers... Cheaper, more efficient, easier to use with as good as if not better results... 2D is here to stay for a long while. The development costs for 3d are much higher and only really worth it for big budget films etc. With 2D, you can get some cheap asian labour to do most of the work, 3D requires an expensive skilled workforce. There are not many people who are good at it. Last year my animation course only had one person who was really good at it. With the internet, flash is definitely the prime candidate, nothing can beat the interactivity.
