The Halloween cartoon is a Daytime Emmy Award-winning 1993 feature-length animated television movie produced by Hanna-Barbera based on Ray Bradbury's 1972 fantasy novel of the same name. It tells the story of a group of trick-or-treating children who learn about the origins and influences of Halloween when one of their friends is spirited away by mysterious forces.movie is often featured on Cartoon Network during the Halloween season. It features the voice of Leonard Nimoy as the children's guide, Mr. Moundshroud. Ray Bradbury himself provided the voice of the Narrator, and won an Emmy Award for writing the special's screenplay. The film changes the novel's group of night travelers from eight boys to three boys and a girl. A longer limited edition "author's preferred text" of the novel was published in 2005, which included the screenplay.[1]The film opens to the voice of a narrator (Ray Bradbury) describing one small town's preparations for Halloween night. Four friends are shown at their respective homes donning costumes excitedly: Jenny as a witch, Ralph as a mummy; Wally as a monster; and finally Tom Skelton as a skeleton. They all hurry so as not be late meeting up with each other and the unseen Pip (described as their communal best friend and the greatest boy who ever lived). Jenny, Wally, Ralph and Tom meet up, but Pip is absent. Believing it a trick, as Pip would never miss his favorite holiday, the four head to Pip's home on the edge of town.They arrive at Pip's house, only to find it bare of decoration, with no pumpkins or bowls of candy set out on the porch, and Pip being loaded into the back of an ambulance, with his parents to ride with him. A note on the door written by Pip explains that he is being rushed off for an emergency appendectomy, an operation he may die without, and that his will is they start Halloween without him. Worried about their friend and not willing to trick-or-treat with him absent, the four friends follow the path of the ambulance to visit him at the hospital. Tom suggests they take a short-cut, one Wally nervously announces would take them through a dark and eerie ravine. As they approach it, Jenny and Tom see what looks like Pip running through the path which cuts through the ravine. Wally posits he can see right through Pip, but Ralph shrugs it off. Tom, convinced that Pip has designed this elaborate hoax for the four of them, continues on. The group races after Pip through the mysterious and twisting forest path, going deeper into the shadowy ravine. Falling behind Pip along the way, they wind up in sight of a towering and darkened mansion.After knocking on the door they meet a man named Moundshroud. Moundshroud expresses disappointment that none of the children know what their costumes symbolize. It is revealed that Moundshroud is after the ghost of Pip, whom the protagonists followed to the house. It is also revealed that Pip is after a pumpkin with his face carved into it and escapes with it. Tom begs Moundshroud to let them come and help bring back Pip. Though Moundshroud initially refuses, as they know nothing of the true origins of Halloween, he relents — if they can keep up with him before dawn, then they might just be able to retrieve the pumpkin and get Pip back, while also going on a scavenger hunt of sorts to learn why they are dressed as they are and where Halloween comes from. Moundshroud fashions a giant kite from hundreds of posters from the side of an abandoned barn (with the children serving as the tail) and they begin their pursuit. Pip uses the magic of the pumpkin to travel back over 4,000 Halloweens ago, and the group follows.This children travel to Halloweens past, learning why they are dressed as they are. First, they travel to Egypt to learn of the Book of the Dead and the significance of mummification. Next, they witness old rituals carried out by Celtic druids, learning the origin and myths of witches. They travel next to an unfinished Notre Dame Cathedral (which they finish in a matter of minutes with Moundshroud's magic) to learn of the Cathedral's use of gargoyles and demons to ward off evil spirits. They finally arrive in Mexico, where the significance of skeletons is revealed, and where the Day of the Dead is celebrated as a means of overcoming one's fear of death. It is in an old tomb in Mexico that they catch up to Pip— too late to save him.Moundshroud tells the children they did not make it in time and Pip is now his property, symbolized by his pumpkin. The children, eager to have their friend back, bargain a year from each of their lives in exchange for Pip's. Moundshroud accepts the deal, and they are teleported home. The children rush to Pip's house once more, to see if the entire ordeal was in fact real, and are delighted to see their friend back from the hospital. He recounts the journey as a dream he experienced during surgery. The movie ends with Moundshroud disappearing into a pumpkin shaped like him, while the Halloween Tree is assaulted by strong winds, blowing all the pumpkins away into the sky— all except for Pip's pumpkin, which remains on his porch.Odd Todd is a website owned and operated by Todd Rosenberg, an unemployed "dotcommer", who has created a series of humorous Flash cartoons depicting the world of unemployment, after entering the world himself.[2]
animated shorts — written, drawn, and narrated by Rosenberg — encapsulate the trials and tribulations many people felt in Silicon Valley and its impacted markets after the dot com crash around 2001.Rosenberg's first cartoon, Laid Off: A Day in the Life, shows the frustration, despair, and boredom of a man in his 30s learning about how money is "kinda important" and dates are hard to attain when you're overweight and balding.The success of the first cartoon short[3] led to more cartoons being posted for downloading, even the opportunity to contribute through an Internet "tip cup." Rosenberg was collecting unemployment insurance at time that he put up his "tip cup" and, when the New York State Department of Labor learned of the "tip cup," they sent him a letter demanding repayment of all paid unemployment benefits. Rosenberg successfully appealed this action and was not required to pay back any benefits.[4]Rosenberg spread his cartoon wings away from the unemployment world and delved into fantasy cartoons such as his annual Halloween cartoon and his Christmas episodes.A hallmark of the cartoons is Todd's pronunciation of the "ee" sound at the end of certain words (the most popular examples being "cookie" as "cook-ay", "coffee" as "coff-ay" and "money" as "mon-ay"). While Rosenberg claimed this was unconscious in the early cartoons, once fans reported they liked it he deliberately included and exaggerated it in all subsequent works. The cartoons also feature an unlikely breakout character, an unidentifiable mammalian creature called Mep who appeared briefly in the second Laid Off short and has made frequent appearances in almost all the following cartoons and games.As Rosenberg's fan base grew, so did the Odd Todd website, which now includes such random material as "What's Happening", movie reviews, his search for "Brittney Dirtor", "Daily Facts I Learned from the TV", reader-submitted poetry, recipes, and more. A predecessor to today's blogging craze, Odd Todd has developed a healthy (if somewhat unique) following. His What's Happening section is the most popular section besides the cartoons.Rosenberg has published several games on his site, most of them in collaboration with http://AE4RV.com. The (Bad) Memory Name which was produced with AE4RV received its current name, "Mep Match Game," following a threat from the Hasbro Corporation. Rosenberg's most recent foray into the game world was in April 2007 when he included five games in his annual April Fools cartoon including Mepsteroids.-ay Slots is a popular game produced for the site as it contains cartoons in the game like "Lobster and Shirley". Mepball also contains a setup cartoon.In May 2005, Rosenberg worked with Canadian freelance company One Hip Designs based in Ottawa, Canada. Through their design team, they produced Mep Invaders. The game was a Space Invaders clone but hasn't yet been placed on www.oddtodd.com due to bugs and lack of some additional content. The original idea for the game was based on a promotion toon for an under developed game Rosenberg featured on his website called Mep Wars. Other than these mishaps, the production team thought it was a success.In April 2007 Rosenberg began collaboration with another Indie game developer, Steven Mikkelson, of http://MartianGames.com. Together they brought the blue-robed slacker, along with his friends Mep, ElfUp, and Roscoe into a 3D action game called "Cookay Blast", in which you drive around on a kitchen table collecting fudged-striped Cookays and blasting opponents with fizzing soda cans. Cookay Blast took six months to create and first appeared October 23 on the front page of www.oddtodd.com.The Odd Todd Handbook was published in 2003 by Warner Books. It is now out of print.His cartoon character was picked up for development at Comedy Central for a half-hour television show but was shelved. Todd has since provided cartoons for Motherload the Comedy Central broadband channel and Paramount Pictures announced they optioned Odd Todd as a live-action motion picture.[5] Todd is represented by the Gersh Agency in Los Angeles.Rosenberg has also produced freelance cartoons for Nightline, America's Test Kitchen, Nova, and World News Tonight. He is also a commentator for NPR. Rosenberg recently wrote a sitcom pilot for CBS and produced a five-part animated series about global warming for National Geographic.Todd developed an original cartoon series segment called The News Junkie for IFC Media Project with Gideon Yago, and he produces monthly "You" animations for time.com.Contrary to a rumor of unknown origin, Rosenberg did not create the "Don't Regulate the Internet" cartoon.As of December 1, 2012, Todd married [6] a local sweetheart from his hometown in Brooklyn, New York.Rosenberg lives in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn with a dog named Roscoe. He broadcasts Roscoe live on Roscoecam.[7]
