Ducktales will return to TV

Good news for animation fan everywhere, Disney XD is planning to reboot Ducktales. Once again, it will follow the adventures of Scrooge McDuck, Huey,  Dewey and Louis, and even Donald Duck. The other supporting characters and villains will return (Launchpad and Gizmo Duck FTW!). It would be really cool if they manage to add Darkwing Duck (as a guest character in some episodes). The classic series was extremely popular in the 80's and 90's and still holds up today with it's balance of action, adventure and humor. It seems the series will premiere in 2017  and is unclear if it will be 2D or 3D animation.

Awesome Ghostbusters animation

Nacho Punch has a series of animated shorts where they take a popular movie and turns it into an 80's anime. Their latest release is Ghostbusters. Looks really cool!

Studio Ghibli will enter a "restructuring" phase

Santa, all I want for Christmas is for Studio Ghibli to keep making movies!

Truly sad news for animation fans, Studio Ghibli, worldwide known for producing animated masterpieces such as Princess Mononoke and Grave of the Fireflies will stop producing movies for a while (which is better than the rumor about them closing shop). According to The Telegraph, this decision was taken because their movies are expensive to make and, sadly The Tale of Princess Kaguya flopped (I haven't seen the movie but Isao Takahata is an amazing director).

Ghibli's movies contain excellent stories carried by amazingly rounded characters that populate awesomely detailed worlds. The designs in those movies are gorgeous and creative, from Howl's Castle to Porko Rosso's airplane. Hopefully the studio will return soon! The studio's last movie (before entering the hiatus) When Marnie was There does not have a Western release date (as of the date of this article).

Beautiful remake of the Macross Intro

A truly amazing work of animation. Hikaru (Rick Hunter) is one of my favorite animated characters and this short brings so many memories of the series (specially Robotech in my case). Would love to see an HD remake of the series or a movie trilogy using this style of animation and character design.
