Doctor Legua's abominations, 2006, I don't know why

Sometimes I see something so awful and wrong that I have to share, just as Ian felt the need to share with me. Think of this as a cautionary tale on the dangers of 3D software abuse, because that's really the only thing that justifies this stuff at all.

I don't know who the hell Doctor Legua is, but he is NOT A REAL DOCTOR.


You said you was high class, but that was just a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE LIE.


In case you think it's just Disney characters that have been mangled by his madness, let me assure you this is not the case:


OK, so in conclusion, I have no idea who this Doctor Legua is, but fuck that guy. I have to go pour bleach into my eyes now. THANKS IAN.

Clutch Cargo, Cambria Studios, 1959

Normally, I try to post animation that is good, or at least interesting, or entertaining, or well written.

Clutch Cargo is none of that, and more.

Clutch Cargo stumbled blindly onto the pages of history by virtue of its own cheapness. The makers of the series rarely employed any animation at all - not that they ever claimed to. They used whatever means they could to avoid animation, but the most infamous was a technique invented by cameraman Edwin Gillete known as Synchro-Vox, which superimposed footage of a moving human mouth over a still drawing. The effect was disturbing, but very memorable.



See? It's utter crap, but it's going to haunt your dreams forever.
