Video Sunday: Lazy Blogger Who Makes Up For It In the End Edition

For me, I had a weird week. A good week, with a lot of fun, but weird just the same. As a result I just didn’t have the time or energy to seek out videos. My blog reading plummeted to zero and . . . well basically I’m just glad that for the next week I won’t have to go into work and I can concentrate on some serious writing and blogging. Woot!

It’s not all doom and destruction, however. A couple videos did swim into my periphery before I conked out for good at the end of the week. Take, as one example, the classic Wolf vs. Pig battle from much fairytale lore, only this time reimagined into a stop animation short involving 1,300 printed photographs.

This next one is particularly nice.  It’s an interview with Mark Teague, an illustrator with a repertoire I’ve always admired but I’ve never personally run across him in his travels.  This first appeared on the Scholastic blog Kid Lit Kit as part of their Video Wednesday (!) series.

I had heard that Mr. President type sir had read Where the Wild Things Are before the White House Easter Egg Hunt, but I was unaware that it was a video until I saw it posted on Bookninja.

And for your final bit o’ wackiness today, I don’t know how long YouTube will keep this up since it involves Disney, and Disney is bound to get squeamish about this.  But if you were a child who watched their animated films and sometimes noticed similarities between animated cells, prepare to have your socks knocked off.
