The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is probably the best cartoon in the world today. Well it's my favorite right now. You can see it on Teletoon Saturdays at 1:00 pm CST. This cartoon is about a wide eyed boy named Flapjack who lives in his mothering whale, Bubby, with his adventuring mentor, Captain K'Nuckles, and their ongoing search for Candied Island. Rae sent me a link to a great blog called "Frederator Blogs". It is a great resource for all kinds of animation news. I will add it to my links. Any way checkit out because it hads a great interview with Flapjack's creator Thurop Van Orman. Here is an excerpt of the interview.
What do you think makes for a great cartoon?
If a cartoon can make me uncomfortable, then I’ll be tuning in again. If it can make me uncomfortable while I’m laughing my ass off then I’ll never miss it. If I get misty eyed, because it’s so sweet or heartfelt, I get uncomfortable. Because it’s a cartoon. If while I’m uncomfortable about the irony of crying during a cartoon, they hit me with the hilarious kind of irony, well I reckon thats hollywood gold.

I miss them 'old days' when I used to get up real early, grabbing a bowl of sugar coated cereal and plunking down in front of the tube to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I don't even think I have Teletoon... ;P Anyhow, you should check out James Daniels' blog, he tends to post a lot about cool animation/cartoon related topics, check it out here:
