Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends Closes Up Shop
On his blog, Cartoon Network animation director Eric Pringle offers a swan song for the departing crew from Craig McCracken’s Cartoon Network series Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. With 54 episodes behind them (many animated by Dublin-based Boulder Media), he wraps up the 5+ years he spent at the studio with a parting gift – a 6-page PDF tutorial of how to animate Bloo. I know I’m not alone in saying that Eric’s Emmy-award winning crew helped raise the bar of what Flash animators could do and will do in years to come. Happy trails, Foster’s team!

It was a blast to work on and ended way too soon.

This is a great parting gift. Thanks for sharing and thanks for posting.

I followed the tute and as a relative noob to Flash I learned a few new things! Thanks.
I agree that Forster’s home is so much better than most Flash series out there. There is a great sense of energy to the show. It’ll be missed, even though I only got to watch it every now and then.

Fosters gave me my break into professional animation, first two seasons were a steep learning curve! Great show, i’m sorry to see it go.
