Toon Saloon #2:

McG`s, in real life, is a corner bar in Chatworth. Last night in was invaded by animators watching rare stop motion films. It was very dark inside the bar, as is right in a bar environment, so I could not get that many photos.



It is always fun to get to talk to your heros. The thing with film is that you may not know your hero`s names just their animaiton. Jim Aupperle of Flesh Gordon and Dinosaur Planet fame. (Jim is doing the deer in headlights impression because of the flash in a very dark bar).

We got to see some of Dinosaur Planet. Great stop motion cheesy live action actors in jump suits, what more can you ask for?



George Wong (quickly closing his eyes having been warned about the deer in headlights flesh) worked on a great TV show that I would love to have a copy of, Bump in the Night. Why has no one put out a DVD of this killer Saturday morning stop motion classic? Man that was a great show. The Sock Monster in the closet is up there with the all time greats.

There were people from BixPix with their just finished Chistmas special, copies of Animation Magazine, good food and some the the people drank non-soft type drinks.
