Well, you could, but it wouldn’t have the same delightfully bizarre quality. Anyway, The Australian is reporting that a Japanese man is currently engaging in a nationwide campaign to make it legal for humans to marry cartoon characters. No, seriously!

It's basically an online club where animators can join and collaborate on projects. I'm still making the official site, so that may be a bit, but I do have an LJ for it. (LAWL cause I couldn't find a better blogging site. XD) http://lm-productions.livejournal.com/ Anyone interested in joining? Just reply to this topic with a little bit of info about yourself (that you'd want posted on a public site) and I'll make a profile ...

Why did I create this forum in the first place? Well since a lot of the animation forums are mainly for professionals, students, and the like, I've decided to create one for teens and/or students who have a strong interest in animation.

With your help, we can make this place grow into a community and maybe even a family. So, why not join? Love animation or just plain art?

So I'm gonna turn D-Minus into a series. Here's part of a script I've written in Celtx a few weeks ago: The bell rings. View of the high school. Holly and her friends Georgine and Clara are walking down the hallway, talking. Georgine So, Holly, who's this guy you're talking about?

It's not gonna be long, I'd estimate it at about 30 mins. to an hour and a half long. It's not gonna take 6 months to make like I thought due to school, so I've decided to estimate its completion in 2009 or 2010. Here's the progress so far: 9/27/08 - Well I've not even anywhere near past the pre-production stage. I'm still writing the ...
