It’s Great to Be Nominated
The Motion Picture Academy had a delightful series of programs some years back, called “It’s Great to be Nominated”, where they screened a nominated feature, along with a nominated short, and what was so remarkable about it was that the nominated films were sensational, films that made you wonder why they didn’t get the Oscar. […]

Open During Construction
This TBHRTW Website is Now Open to all visitors, although construction continues on final refinements, adding more content, designing additional graphics, and making a few more improvements. We’re always open to suggestions in our Suggestions page. Four of our crew members have been working on building this site since early June, when a donor, who […]
Production Update, Oct. 2015
In one way or the other, we’ve been in production for a dozen or so years, broken down into various production stages, such as tributes, festivals, interviews, transcripts, scenes, story boards, characters, backgrounds, layouts, and animation. In the Back Issues page you can find more detail about these various stages. However, during the last couple […]
Toon In Here
The Toon in to the World of Animation site, as some of you may recognize by the image of the soon-to-be former Toon in Home page, which you’ll see if you “read more,” has not disappeared completely. The site itself will be coming down in early November, but most of the interview clips themselves will […]
CTNX
The long black & white image is our ad in this year’s CTNX Sketch Book, and, if you “read more”, you’ll see an image from last year’s CTNX, of the booth of Joanna Davidovich, one of our top character designers. As the the black & white ad states, our booth this year will be at […]
UPA at AniMazSpot
AniMazSpot is an annual festival about, and for, animated shorts filmmakers, produced by the non-profit organization Animazing Spotlight. The logo character for the festival, seen next to this article, was created by Lou Romano to signify all the various events AniMazSpot juggles. It’s on hiatus at the moment, but during it’s four year active run […]
Funding Update, October 2015
Since our successful Kickstarter Campaign in 2012, we’ve been pretty productive, a bit like Magoo appears to be up there in his 1957 short, Magoo Saves the Bank. Not that we’ve been flush with funds, far from it, but, compared to the bone dry period prior to Kickstarter, well, it’s like night and day. For […]
Own a Piece of History
From time to time we will feature one of collectables that we sell, under the heading of Own a Piece of History, because many of our collectables are just that, a physical piece of UPA or general animation history. This article features Inside UPA, a limited addition book of rare photographs of UPA personnel from […]
Gerald Hop
The Gerald Hop scene features a story recalled by Jules Engel about how Robert “Bobe” Cannon created the distinctive little hop/skip Gerald does in Gerald McBoing Boing, on his way to and from school. After much thoughtful and creative comments, several fine story boards and animatics, we are now completing our final layout, and will […]
