More stuff found late at night
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is apparently animated completely in Flash, according to one of the animators.
OK, but it still doesn't make me a fan of the stuff on the Web.
I've had the opportunity to see a couple more episodes of Foster's, and it's holding up well. It's good that there's such a large cast because one could very easily get tired of Bloo (silly me) a.k.a. pure Id. He borders on the annoying, Coco is just weird, and I'm frankly surprised that Maurice Sendak's lawyers aren't up in arms over Eduardo. But I am just crazy about Wilt. He and Frankie are quite possibly the most interesting character (the concept of such a nice but visually flawed imaginary friend makes me wonder what kind of person Wilt's child was, and I like how Frankie shows how one can be responsible and funky). Mr Herriman gets short shrift but remains lovable all the same. Mac and Madame Foster do not get enough screentime. The only thing is that I don't get home in time to watch it most Fridays, and I can never quite remember what time it repeats over the weekend, so I've been catching it mostly by luck. (I don't dare look at the Cartoon Network site's TV schedule... I swear they change their navigation every week just to confuse me.)
