Brian Frisk has crafted yet another Candy Hole episode, and this time he introduces a new character. Enjoy Share With Me:

Founding 6PH member Greg Franklin recently directed this new comedy bit by up-and-coming comedian Kyle Kinane. The piece was created to promote Kinane’s album Death of the Party, which is now out on ASPECIALTHING RECORDS. It’s quality material, both comedy and animation-wise, and after you’re done watching this segment below, do yourself a favor and watch Kinane take out a heckler a few weeks back. Franklin had help on the animation from Marius Alecse and Mac Whiting, while Tony Christopherson composited and edited. [NSFW - language and bunny sex]

Harry Partridge was asked by BBC Comedy to take the piss out of pop culture again. Following up on his spoof of Rock Band from last September, Partridge now aims his clever animated comedy at Tim Burton, who, thanks to Johnny Depp, is enjoying the biggest box office success of his career with the critically-panned Alice in Wonderland. Here’s Johnny Depp in Burtonland.

Russian-born animator Alex Budovsky delighted us with the Bathtime in Clerkenwell music video back in 2002 for the band Tuesday Weld, and he’s got another one cued for us. It’s Budovsky’s second collaboration with the German pop artist Jim Avignon. Back in 2007, they partnered on Jukebox, which utilized drawings by Avignon. Here’s Middle Class Hell, off Avignon’s Say Hi To Your Neighbor.

While the majority of Oscar-nominated feature The Secret of Kells was traditionally animated, there were a number of Flash-animated sequences in the film, as we reported here back in 2009. If you watched last weekend’s Oscar telecast, you may have spotted the segment featuring animated characters from all of the nominated productions, and I just discovered that the :18 second clip of Aisling, the woodland fairy from The Secret of Kells, was animated in Flash, frame-by-frame with the brush tool. Alessandra Sorrentino and Alfredo Cassano, two talented freelance crew members at Cartoon Saloon (who are also a couple), brought it to life. Huge congrats to the whole team at Cartoon Saloon!
