Archive: Herb Klynn I was too busy to mention it here the other day, but on Tuesday, I posted an interesting pitch by Herb Klynn's Format Films for an erotic Japanese themed animated feature. Klynn shopped this idea around in 1970 in the wake of Fritz the Cat, but it never got made.

The interesting thing about it is how similar it is to certain types of modern anime. In 1970, the only Japanese animation that most people were aware of were Astroboy and Kimba. This concept of Klynn's was ahead of its time.



I just posted a couple of buttons for people to put on their site to help spread the word about our project...

This one promotes Animation's 100th Birthday...
