CARTOON FOR KIDS? I THINK NOT!!

I stumbled upon this online. Take a few minutes and watch this children's claymation production I think stems from Canada. I have a question after watching it, however: In what effed up world is this for kiddies? At four or five, it woulda made me crap my pants. Creepy, creepy, creepy...

DIG IT... RETRO-FEELING BATMAN in 'BRAVE AND THE BOLD'

Here's a Batman ripe for the cocktail set... Actually, it's the teaser from the recent ComicCon called "Batman: The Brave and the Bold." Looks like for the new 'toon, we're seeing less of a broody and grim Dark Knight that makes way for a more campy Bat in the POW! BAM! BOOM! vein. Looks like tons of fun.

The animated series based on the famed DC comic book title and, as the title suggests, will feature Batman teaming-up with various characters in the DC Universe. Known characters to have been revealed so far are Green Arrow, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman. The series was set to start airing in Fall 2008, but was pushed back to March 2009 instead

REMEMBER THIS? 'IRON MAN' '60s TOON

Being that this is "Iron Man" week, I figured it would be more than apropos to post the opening theme to the original cartoon, which originally aired 1966/67. Gotta love how crude it looks. Watching it now, it's certainly hard to believe that I was entranced for hours on end. Enjoy. Oh, and also enjoy that Henry Mancini-esque theme which, by the way, won't get out of your head.

STAN LEE TO DEVELOP TOON ABOUT PARIS

You won't believe this one, folks...

The Daily News reports that Marvel comics icon and former head honcho Stan Lee will develop an animated series for MTV starring none other than Paris Hilton.

A source told the paper that the new Paris project will be similar in tone to the 'Stripperella' toon Lee developed in 2003 for Pamela Anderson.

The insider went on saying that the project is all but ready to go and would also include a credit for former Hilton boytoy Paris Latsis, who was also on board.

A start date has not yet been determined for the series.

As for the tone, no word on what the toon Paris character would consist of.

We suggest that Paris portray a covert secret agent, black ops kinda stuff. And her cover that would justify jaunts all over the world? A ditsy socialite who can't from a sentence, of course. In between mindless appearances and endorsements, she pulls off the impossible mission or two.

That we can see...
