I just heard from Sayoko Kinosh*ta, from the long standing, well-respected Hiroshima Animation Festival, that they have only until the end of February to sign the petition to save the festival.

Being isolated at Buzzco often has its surprises. Anthony Tafuri, son of Fleischer animator Nick Tafuri, called asking me to identify those who celebrated Nick's career by The Society of Animators in 1979. Anthony got the pages scanned and sent me these pages.
Nick was responsible for my late partner, Vincent Cafarelli, getting a job at Famous Studios in the 1950's. By far I was the youngest member there-- most of the animators were 1 or 2 generations older than I was, still in my 20's. Tom Sito, Amid Amidi, Jerry Beck, Richard O'Connor, Nancy Beiman (and anyone else!)-- feel free to share and identify.

Throwback Thursday again-- a compilation of the open/close to CBS Saturday morning series, "Teen Wolf" from 1986.
"Talking About S*x-A Guide for Families" excerpt
One of our favorite projects-- a half hour video we created for Planned Parenthood Federation of America; "Talking About S*x - A Guide for Families". It explained puberty intended for kids 10-14 and their parents and not only won many awards at the time (including the prestigious Annecy Cristal 1997) but is still shown to middle schoolers in 2015! Credit info and more here: http://www.buzzzco.com/Educational/PlannedParenthood.htm
TBT again! Yes-- and we made commercials! This one "Busy Household" for Southwestern Bell (through DMB&B, Peter Barg, producer) designed by Norm Bendell and animated by Vincent Cafarelli and Vinny Bell.
Throwback Thursday again! Back in 1990 we were asked by Richard Shenkman, then working for Pl***oy Entertainment, to animate some of the spot cartoons in Pl***oy's history. So between doing spots for Sesame and USA's Cartoon Express (see previous TBT's!) we drew naked people. But here's one of the non-x-rated spots we did! PS-We didn't post last week since Candy was in France for the Annecy International Animation Festival, presenting "The Last Time", and we hope we'll be able to post about current events as soon as we can-!
USA Network "Cartoon Express". Before Cartoon Network, Hanna Barbera's cartoon library was acquired by USA Network and consolidated into a strip with opening and glue created by Buzzco Associates. USA Network producers: Paula Brown and Ronnie Neiderman; design and layout: Wayne Becker; animation Vinny Bell and Vincent Cafarelli; Additional design: Candy Kugel; assistants; Bryon Moore and John Lopez; producer: Marilyn Kraemer. Some images contained are from commissioned work and are for publicity purposes only. Copyright ownership remains with each individual client. All rights reserved.
Our 3rd Throwback Thursday! This time it's USA's Cartoon Express! When USA Network first launched they had kids' programming along with WWF. They bought Hanna-Barbera's back library and created "Cartoon Express" (this is before Turner launched Cartoon Network). We created the opening and glue for the first 5 seasons or so. Here is the Express train -- the concept being that kids could ride along their favorite H/B characters-- and a loyalty club "Kids Club" promo they showed-- credits and stories provided with each!
"It's Hip to be a Square" (c)CTW
Another ThrowBack Thursday (this time with credits I remember, so feel free to add!): For Sesame Street "It's Hip to be a Square"- directed by Candy Kugel and Vincent Cafarelli; animated by Vincent Cafarelli; Design: Candy Kugel; Photos: Gil Ortiz; Assist: Bryon Moore and Anne Barett; Producer: Marilyn Kraemer
Throwback Thursday! We're often asked about our seminal work with MTV. Here's a link to an article written for AWN back in the '90's- http://www.awn.com/mag/issue2.10/2.10pages/2.10mtv.html And a small compilation of the "I Want My MTV ad campaign" and the second "Top of the Hour."
