I never thought I'd see the awesomeness that is Calvin & Hobbes flesh out into the field of animation, but it has finally happened!

(Thanks to Cartoon Brew for pointing this out.)

    wow, now that is dead on animation. looks just like the strips. everytime I read the colection books, that's about how I'd dream the animation would look like if it was an actual cartoon. if only the voices were in english, and the voice of Calvin was different, and it showed more of Hobbes, but other than that, I'd give it 2 thumbs up and 10 / 10!
    Doc.....are you telling me that this sucker is NUCLEAR?!

          Thanks for the constructive input, Cartoonfan! Your insight really deepened my understanding of the topic without interfering with its natural essence. Hopefully you will continue to post your subtle, nuanced views on a wide variety of topics, so that I will know what sucks.

              Yep...he said in an interview that it would be "frightening" to put a voice on Calvin, or something like that. Unlike a lot of other fans, I guess I'm not too crazy about a C&H animation. The comics are good enough on their own.

                I agree, this just doesn't seem like it would be possible to translate into other mediums. I guess some things are better left alone.

                  Nope, he also didn't condone those stickers of Calvin pissing on various things that you sometimes see on big trucks. The reason why he hasn't sued is because he just doesn't care.

                          crap, it's been taken down due to a stupid copywright claim by Bill Waterson:mad:

                            I don't think I would have wanted to watch it, anyway. Bill wanted it to be kept to the imagination of how the reader thinks Calvin/Hobbes should sound. Watchin that vid would probubly ruin it.

                                I am not like you that probably drank Pine Sol.


                                The Top 3 would be this:

                                3. Garfield

                                2. Peanuts

                                  That ruined the comic strip for me. I can no longer read it in the same way after having seen that short.

                                  I wonder what they'll tackle in the 3rd season of "Robot Chicken". I have this sense that they might do something relating to "Animaniacs" or "Pinky And The Brain" this season

                                    Some things should be left as they are. I wouldn't want to see a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, they'd probably screw it up.

                                    But I love those comics though.

                                        At least someone agrees with me. Unlike a certain Darwing Duck fan.
