That’s right, catch some CrashToons cartoons on the big screen! Here’s the blurb about the Rock Opera gig where we’ll be screening lil’ toons before the feature:

ROCK OPERA 10 Year Reunion + Voltage Live!

Rated NR; Director:Bob Ray (1999)

Location: Alamo South Lamar
This show is a part of the Celebrity Guests Signature Series, Click to See More

Austin-based filmmaker Bob Ray is bringing the old crew back together for a night of punk rock debauchery to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of his cult-legendary Austin stoner-caper flick ROCK OPERA! The tale of Austin musician Toe’s struggle to put together a tour for his struggling band PigPoke. Through selling dirt weed, stabbing people in the back and double-crossing half a dozen of the meanest sons of bitches in Texas, Toe weasels himself into a position to get his band on the road. Half stoner comedy, half suspense thriller and 100% dope ass flick.

Including performances by Nashville Pussy, Fuckemos, Witchbanger, and PigPoke as well as the music of Butthole Surfers, Ed Hall, El Flaco, Pong, Cherubs, Honky, The Crack Pipes, Titz, Pocket FishRmen, Phantom Creeps, Antebellum, Squat Thrust, El Insecto, Tallboy, and Voltage. After the screening, head over the The Highball for live performances by the newly reunion’d Voltage and Pocket FishRmen!

Big News!

Playboy and CrashToons double-team for hilarity!!!

That’s right, swing over to: http://www.playboy.com/articles/playmation-nation-butterface/index.html to catch the first glimpse of APESH!T on Playboy.com

Playboy just re-launched their web site and it now features some fantastic adult animation (i.e. Family Guy, Adult Swim, South Park style humor, not porn (there’s plenty o’ nakedness on the rest of Playboy’s site, so not to fret)).

Part of this fantastic batch of toon-mayhem are some CrashToons ‘toonage! The first one to go live is APESH!T Butter Face. Over the next several weeks, look out for another APESH!T and three Platypus Rex episodes. If all goes well, we’ll be making more ‘toons for Playboy very soon. So please swing by and check it out and watch it a million times! Here are some more links of interest:

Chupacabra @ SXSW

crashtoons — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:24:10 +0000

CrashToons’ animated gem “Spanish Lessons with Chupacabra Volume 7: Conversational Spanish” will screen at the 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival. The ‘toon is screening in the SXSW AFS Member Showcase block on Saturday, March 14 at the Hideout Theater in downtown Austin.

LA Comedy Shorts Fest, I XXX you.

crashtoons — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:22:39 +0000

No shit! That fest was one of the most fun festivals I’ve ever been to. Fucking ever. I met a ton of great folk, it was organized like a well-lubed lubricating machine and I saw an ass-load of funny as hell shorts. And parties, right? Fuck! I don’t remember leaving the closing night party… sorry if I broke anything or embarrassed you… I did loose my jacket, so if anyone finds a black windbreaker with Bultaco written on the back and a bunch of CrashToons DVDs and stickers in the pocket, I lay claim to it.

Aside from that, it was near flawless. Amazingly, ridiculously fun. And I got to hang out with Granny Squidbilly!

Thanks to Jeannie, Ryan and Gary for showing my ‘toons and congrats on hosting such an amazing fest. I hope to be back for #2.

Hugs & shit,

Here’s a look back at what we managed to accomplish in 2008.

Hell on Wheels:
We screened in loads more places and fests in 2008. We had a sold out screening at NYC’s BAM Cinematheque, a screening at the world famous Egyptian Theater’s American Cinematheque in Los Angeles. We had fest screenings like mad and we screened the little film that could all over the US, Canada, and even Australia, England, Brazil and New Zealand. And then we screened at RollerCon in Vegas! What a blast! And in September, we released the flick on an awesome two-disk DVD set from IndiePix!

Round One is a wrap Round Two is in our sights

crashtoons — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:58:26 +0000

Okay, so it looks like “Half Mile High Club” will bring us to the end of round one. By which I mean I’m gonna need to write some more scripts to record before we can go much farther.

We already have a few gems that are for-sure green-lighters, like: Platypus Rex’s ABC-hole (and a “retaliation” version performed by Rooster Lollipop), Platypus Rex’s Spanglish, the Limp Dictionary episodes RU-486 and Lolligagging, and several one-offs like Fire Ants and the Platypus Rex/Rooster Lollipop cross-over Beer & Pussy.

So keep your ear and eye-holes peeled for more ‘toon wreckage from the fine folks over at CrashToons.

We’ll definately be reaching for new lows in round two. The Rooster Lollipop version of ABC-hole should reach the bottom. So to speak.
