Old Animation Reel - 1989 "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet"

Thank you for your comment. I'm currently writing music and plan to make some simple music videos.  The music will be different from what I hear out there.

I wish you were still doing your animation today, I miss that kind of stuff

[Madhatter1903]

You animated the mouse and the motorcycle? I loved those movies :)

[JohnClarkMatthews]

Yes, Don Waller did the cell animation. We also did the voices - he was the bad guy cat and I was the mouse. Part of the joke was that we did all of this off-screen violence that the ABC sensors would never have allowed. Since the audience only heard us using things like buzz saws, we got away with it.

(^ plus the first job don waller ever had. the cel animation of a super mouse. correct?

[JohnClarkMatthews]

The cartoon cell animation in the reel is my early work. The Superhero Mouse was created for Runaway Ralph. Yes, we could have bought the rights for some existing footage, but we were having some fun.

i dont recognize 3 parts;

1. the beginning, some yellow things & elephant walking backward..?

2. looks like theyre in a circus & hes shooting an arrow

3. the melting snowman

the superhero mouse tv screen shot is from mouse & motorcycle,

but i cant name the character on screen.. was it made for the scene?

(like an alternate to licensing mighty mouse)

Stanley and the Dinosaurs is one of my all time favourite childhood movies!

I also love Frog and Toad and The Mouse and the Motorcycle! When I was in grade school the teacher would pop those in on rainy day recesses. You clearly helped inspire me as a kid to take up Stop Motion Animation as a hobby

Super quality stop motion. Clever to have an original song specifically for a reel!
