You didn’t think I’d stop blogging, did you? Welcome to a new version of my old website.<\/p>\n

I established an entity called Cartoon Research Co. almost 20 years ago, and I believe I launched this website in late 1999. I was doing an early version of blogging, before blogs were invented. <\/p>\n

In 2004, I stopped regular \u201cblogging\u201d here and went off to co-found and co-write Cartoon Brew. All along I held onto my Cartoon Research site \u2013 continuing to update the Animated Features pages (and turned them into a book, The Animated Movie Guide<\/em><\/a>, in 2005), maintaining the original titles archives and adding David Gerstein\u2019s wonderful research on RKO-Van Beuren cartoons and Universal\u2019s \u201cWinkler\u201d Oswald Rabbit films. <\/p>\n

Almost nine years later, I\u2019m back full time \u2013 and I\u2019m here to stay. <\/p>\n

What to expect? In the beginning , I plan to pick up where I left off. I\u2019ll write about my favorite people, the studios, the characters \u2013 anything I like from animations past, present or future. I\u2019ve revamped the site to bring it up to date, but left all of my old features (many of which I will expand, rewrite or append in the weeks and months to come). Like Disneyland, this site will never be finished and will continue to grow. <\/p>\n

And I also asked some friends to come over and hang out. Jim Korkis, Keith Scott, Thad Komorowski (and others) have graciously allowed me to cross-post some great pieces of research of their own. Animation archivist Steve Stanchfield will be allowing me to debut some incredibly rare animated films. And I\u2019ll have a few more surprises up my sleeve in the weeks to come. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, I hope you\u2019ll check into CARTOON RESEARCH on a daily basis. It\u2019ll be fun here, I promise. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
