Frank Cartoons

Jim Woodring’s Frank the Cat comes to life from a collection of animated shorts from some talented folks in Japan. (via Cartoon Brew) It's always fun to see how others interpret someones art through animation.

VISIONS OF FRANK collects 8 wild Frank animations made by some of Japan's most innovative and idiosyncratic filmmakers: Taruto Fuyama, Eri Yoshimura,art unit COCOA,DROP INC., Masaki Naito,Kanako Kawaguchi, Naomi Nagata. Each piece is an interpretation of a classic Frank comic and is scored by musicians from Japan and the USA. The films run the gamut of animation techniques: 3DCG, paper craft, clay, iron sand and traditional cel 2D. These original and imaginative expressions present anew the world of JW as seen through each filmmaker's eyes. For each animation, you are able to choose between the original music and the newly composed music by other musicians. Participating musicians include James McNew (from Yo La Tengo), The Coctails, Dame Darcy, Kicell, Milk Yabe, and others. Comes with 16-page booklet with a reprinted Frank comic and introductions to the animators and musicians. As a bonus Woodring's own animated WHIM-GRINDER is included, with a live soundtrack composed and recorded by Bill Frisell at a performance of Mysterio Simpatico.

I think it would be cool to have someone animate my characters, what do you guys think?
