[I.R Joey]

At of all the people that create cartoons who's your favorite. By that I mean who's work do you most like? Less we forget that it isn't a 1 man or women show feel free to include artists, and other notables.

Well, I'm a big Bruce Timm fan, as I'm sure many of you are as well. I go to his fansites and look at artwork. Ieven taught myself his TNBA art style, which I really admired.

I also really admire anime writer/director Hayao Miyasaki, who did Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki's Dilivery service, among others. He's the Speilberg of Anime.

Nick Park is great as well. He... What? No, he didn't play Darth Maul. That's Ray Park. Nick Park's the main guy behind Chicken Run and The Wallace and Grommit shorts. I love his stuff. I not a big claymation fan. But his stuff is great. I love English humor. On the topic of Wallace and Grommit, the're working on a feature film version. I'm excited about the project. Hopefully it wont' fell drawn out and mainstream like Chicken Run. Yeah, Chicken run was good. But the Wallace and Grommit shorts were better. Nick Park Rules!!

Bruce Timm and Craig McCracken are my two favorites. They are the only cartoon creators whose work I search for outside of their main, well known projects. (Craig is the creator of the Powerpuff Girls, if you didn't know).

Ralph Bakshi is a close second, tho I don't like everything he does, I have liked quite a bit.

Mike Judge. The creator of Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill started out as a blues bassist/electronics engineer, and before that doing gruntwork like pulling up tree stumps and flipping burgers (which inspired his work) before he hit it big a decade ago with his cartoon shorts about two scuzzy, shiftless adolescents in a craphole Texas town. That's what I consider a role model--someone who rose up out of obscurity to find success and enlighten/corrupt the minds of America (depending on how you see him-- ).

Yeah, that's right on! I know that a lot of people are annoyed by B&B, but man, they had their moments. And he proved that he had more depth than all that by creating the best primetime animated show, at the moment, KOTH.

I also like Timm and Bakshi. The New adventures of Mighty Mouse was an awesome toon. And I think it set the stage for Ren and Stimpy.

Bob Clampett and John Krisfaluci

The Man, The Myth, The Legend...CHUCK JONES! It's hard to imagine a world of cartoons withou the inspiration of the genius who, although he didn't CREATE them, brought to us the difinitive versions of Bugs, Daffy (the GREATEST cartoon character of ALL TIME ) and Road Runner. I shudder to think where the medium would be without him.
