The 150 Sueños Ilustrados gallery on Flickr has incredible illustrations by various artists interpreting the account of dreams in their own words by children in Mexico, Spain and Brazil.
Today I dreamed that I was in a village and a volcano exploded, but the lava didn’t´t burn me and it was made of colors.
The innocent, pictorially rich, colorful imagery used by the children to describe their dreams makes for some delightful reading, and not to mention great art.

The Pet Store was a Disney animated short released in 1933 by United Artists Pictures.
The film is notable for being the third and last animated cartoon to feature Beppo the Gorilla, an ill-tempered beast who always kidnaps Minnie Mouse, only to be thwarted later by a clumsy, yet brave, Mickey Mouse.
This particular short pays homage to the other famous angry gorilla of the year 1933 - King Kong.

The song “Take on Me” by Norwegian band a-ha, reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1985.
The success of the single could be attributed to the facts that the song was extremely radio-friendly, and also that it had an innovative, quintessentially ‘80s music video. The video blended rotoscope animation and live action sequences.
Dustin Mclean (aka Dustball), award-winning animator and musician, has now remixed the music video by adding his own voice and lyrics to it.
I don’t want to give too much away, but I just loved this version more.
You can watch the original after the jump. Continue reading ‘Take On Me – Literal Version of the a-ha Hit’
