Reposted by D.InkwellTravis Bickerstaff @bickpixx.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I just love looking at Ed Benedict's early designs for Hanna-Barbera characters. He embraced the UPA style and understood how to make these designs work within limited animation. He was one of the artists who gave the studio its identity in the early years. 424566

D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Fun fact: Dave Spafford animated Daffy and Bugs in their respective, iconic scenes in the movie. According to Dave, Peter Schneider reprehended him for the Daffy sequence ("he moves too much"), so Dave went in the opposite direction with Bugs by not having him move at all, lol 091

D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I kinda find Bob McKimson's art direction during the 1950s oddly endearing. It's not as sharp or as well-defined as Jones and Freleng, but there's a weird charm about him trying to understand the UPA art-style 0124

D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think the Ren & Stimpy influence in Dexter's Lab is much more subtle than people realize. Unlike Cow & Chicken or Shnookums & Meat, there's little to no gross out humor in Dexter, but the dynamic is pretty similar 3126

D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Y'know, this got me thinking...I know this would've been impossible as hell (and expensive), but how much more awesome it would've been to have guest animators/cartoonists handle a Looney Tunes short? LTC already did that with Max Winston and Aaron Springer. Why not more? 1135

Reposted by D.InkwellAnimation Obsessive @ani-obsessive.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process.

D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Looney Tunes were essentially made for all ages. Adults, kids, and the cartoonists who were making them. Even within the limitations of the Hays Code at the time, the animators had to be subversive and clever with their mature gags 0100
D.Inkwell @downinkwell.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I have a huge soft spot for Jessica Borutski's design work. The tunes here look REALLY appealing and fun to watch. It's a great modern interpretation of these classic characters, IMO 0115
