World of Warcraft Cartoons

August 31, 2007

Aaron over at Cold Hard Flash initially posted about these Flash animated cartoons created by Sean McBride. I found them to be quite entertaining and I expect you will as well.

More than anything, these Flash animations prove to me that sound quality can really define a cartoon. The animation is limited, mostly involving head nods and arm movements. Because the sound quality is so good though, the characters are still believable.

To view the rest of the animations in this series (and I highly encourage you to), head to Sean's site at www.seanmcbride.com.

Hey, those cartoons are amazing, i bookmarked that site, Mcbrides animations are quite amazing. I dont know if you've mentioned this in other blogs so ill ask here. Next episode? Is it in the works? I'm a very eager bever? beaver? use beaver! anyway i love your work! --Matthewb--

Hey thanks for the nice words about the cartoons, guys! Matthewb--just finished a big batch of these for Salon.com, so I'm taking a six month break to work on other projects. Tony's bugging me to keep going more than anybody. (:

I think we should all start bugging you to keep it going. Is there a specific Salon.com page where we should look for your work?

Mathewb, I'm also working on the next cartoons. I've got the next episode in my head and it will be making it's way to your monitor soon.

Wonderfully entertaining stuff, a great example of creative innovating in style to get the most from the least. These are a great examples of the value and significance of the fundamental content over the form. Outstanding writing and performance that is so inspirational to all of us who strive to make entertaining cartoons.
