Greetings from Animatus!

ANIMATUSSTUDIO.COM GETS A MAKEOVER

Holey Moley! Have you seen the new Animatus site? We’ve reorganized our pages to make it easier to find your way around, with tons of new happy Flash-animated menus! And if you haven’t seen the new Derf the Viking section, you’re missing out on a world of goofy fun.

FRESH TOONES’ LATEST INSTALLMENT

“True Believer” is the latest independent offering from Dave Puls. In this animated short, the alarm is sounded to beware of the “True Believer.” It blends humor with its stark observations of fanatics past and present. “True Believer” has been chosen to run at the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee in April of 2003.

NEW DERF CARTOON ALMOST FINISHED – WE MEAN IT THIS TIME!

Voice work? Check. Animation? Check. Sound Effects? Check. Music? We’re working on it. Come springtime, “The Search for the Great White Ale” (also known as “Mopey Derf”) will be ready for public consumption. We’ll have some screenings locally and submit it to film festivals. With the completion of this, our third Derf cartoon, we plan to put together a Derf “Saga” DVD. More on that as it happens.
