  • The Stooge Remake

    Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit in the Stooge Remake by Bearman Cartoons

    Rumors are afoot that Disney/Pixar are looking at remaking The Stooge, a movie made starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in 1952.

    the-stooge-movie-poster-1952-from Movie Poster Shop I am not a big watcher of old movies but there was a time in my life when I couldn’t get enough Jerry Lewis (I guess I have some French in me). So imagine my joy when I learned that one of my favorite animated characters, Roger Rabbit, was potentially going to play the Lewis role in a Disney/Pixar remake.

    So imagine my delight in reading this blog post by Gary K. Wolf that the movie was in the works.  Gary Wolf wrote the book on Roger Rabbit.  No literally he did.   Back in 1981 he wrote “Who Censored Roger Rabbit” which came to the big screen as “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”

    To this day it stands the test of time as the best movie ever to combine live action and animation.  Surprisingly with technology as advanced as it has over the last 2 decades, I am surprised no one has tackled the genre much since.

    So I had to draw a preview of what I hope actually gets made.  Roger needs some new younger fans before Disney puts him out to pasture.

  • Bearman Cartoon: Guest Cartoon at Chirag Chamoli

    I am happy to be international in that several of my regular viewers are NOT from the United States.  Maybe I am like David Hasselhoff or Jerry Lewis where my talent is appreciated more elsewhere.

    Anyway, one frequent visitor is Chirag Chamoli from India.  His blog is  “Indian’s Second Finest News Source, award-winning publication covering every aspect of Indianness and cultural potpourri.”

    He asked me if I could draw an editorial cartoon to support an article he was creating called “India 101 – Quick Guide For Indians and Foreigners Alike” which very sarcastiscally outlines many tidbits, personal thoughts and misperceptions of India.

    Check out the article now and I’ll post the cartoon here sometime tomorrow.
