Cartoon Brew has a post linking to a Russian site, where they do side by side comparisons of frames, to show you how often Disney animators reused animation sequences. The site is in Russian, but the photos are readily understandable, so I encourage you to visit it. This is pretty interesting. I hadn’t known about it, but it makes sense. Hand animation is very hard and tedious work, and if one can use shortcuts without taking away from the viewer’s enjoyment, why not? Here’s the link.

Let's buy some music
TechCrunch has a review of music services currently available, and their side-by-side comparison is pretty good, but they forgot to include eMusic.
My wife and I use eMusic, and we think it’s pretty darn good! I wish they’d included it in their list of reviewed services.
They mentioned AllofMP3 among the services they reviewed, but it is a quasi-legal site – I can’t imagine the artists are getting properly paid for their music at $0.09/song, and I don’t know if they even signed deals with the site. While the price may be tempting, I have a feeling that site will get turned off or made to charge more at some point in the future.
eMusic at least has deals with each of the artists on the site, and they’re completely legitimate. The downloads are fast, the selection is growing, and the music is not hamstrung by silly DRM schemes. Along with the iTunes service, it is what Ligia and I use regularly.
