I have added some information on the Animation Resources page. I added a few more animation schools and software. If anyone knows of any others that... [MORE]

Here is some interesting information I came across the other day. I went to google and I typed in ToonTube. I couldn't believe what I saw. Another site called Toon Tube ahead of our ToonTube. The site was horrifying! It was a cartoon porn site. I couldn't believe it. I created ToonTube at the end of 2007, at that time there was no other ... [MORE]

So most of you have probably noticed that ToonLifeOnline and ToonTube have a new look. I would love to hear any feedback that you might have on it. Any suggestions or comments would be great.

I also wanted to point out that anyone can post on this message board. As long as you are a member of ToonTube you can post here.

As noted in the blog and elsewhere, Diana Kennedy has won the February Contest with her excellent video Calf and Wolf.  This was, I believe, Diana Kennedy's first entry on ToonTube.  I hope we see more from her!

And as the old contest ends, we anticipate the new one beginning in a few weeks when we select fi... [MORE]

Congratulations to Frankenshteen on winning the December/January contest with the video Frankenparts as reported in the ToonLifeOnline blog in this post:

Well, the short version is that Wes asked me to serve as an admin for ToonTube (which Wes will continue to do as well).   I have accepted his offer.

For the slightly longer version, see my blog post here:

Some of you may have noticed that all of the videos from Revver were temporarily unviewable yesterday.  This had nothing to do with ToonTube.  It was a problem with the Revver's video serving, which was down for extended period yesterday.  I believe it was for a number of hours, possibly as many as 8.

There is a wininer of the Animation of the Month Contest for November. The contest ran a little late due to some technical difficulties but we officially have a winner. It is Born to be Dead it was submitted by Kodinkenji.

It is a little late but the finalists for November are in. Once again there were some great animations submitted.Voting will go on until Dec. 15th

Congratulations to all of the finalists!

So you may have noticed that it is already December and we still haven’t had the animation of the month contest for November. This is because we are having some technical difficulties with the contest layout. As soon as it is fixed I will get the finalists up and it will go on as normal.

In other ToonTube news, I am very exc... [MORE]

I noticed to my dismay that the most recent video I uploaded didn't have a thumbnail.  After poking around a bit, however, I was able to figure out how to upload one.  I thought I would post the process here in case anyone else runs into the same problem or would like to change an existing thumbnail on ToonTube.

Its a funny 2d animation that we want to eventually make into a series. You can also see more episodes on our website www.apt323.com

thanks and enjoy

I sent Wes an email about this which he has probably read by now, but I post this for the benefit of any of the rest of you who may be having trouble viewing Revver videos here (or elsewhere as the problem is by no means local to this site).

It seems that there are some technical problems viewing Revver videos if your ISP is Time Warn... [MORE]

October was a great month for animations here at ToonTube. Congratulations to all of the Finalists

The Animation of the Month contest is back! After a slow month in September and not having the contest, it is back with some great animations.

ToonTube has been extremely blessed in the past month or so. We have gotten a lot of new members and have some great new animations. It was extremely hard choosing the finalists this month.

This short was part of my my diploma-thesis "Emotionality in three-dimensional abstraction"(june08) .
At this I analyse the possibility to give life to primitive geometric physiques without changing the figures with extremities or facial expression.
I use the some of the 12++ Animation principles to underline and enhance the... [MORE]

So things are slowly getting back to normal around here. ToonTube was pretty active last week. We had a lot of new animations uploaded. We are almost at the 300 mark for members. That is pretty exciting!

As most of you probably noticed we didnt do the Animation of the Month contest for Septe... [MORE]

I'm happy that ToonTube is coming back to life so nicely after the slow period.

In addition to a healthy dose of new videos over the past week, I see that on Magnify.net's list of top-rated sites ToonTube is now back to number 15  (after previously having dropped off the list completely).

The ToonTube member count is almo... [MORE]

Twas the first of October and ToonTubers did yearn

For their webmaster, Wes, swift and safe to return.

He'd moved south with his wife,

Just a few days ago,

To a land that is sunny,

Where it seldom does snow.

But what see I now?

It's the animation of the day!
