Well, Googlebot, MSN, and Yahoo! have all finally found us - look Ma, we have some real readers now!

After several months of playing with the site - moving from static pages to a true CMS (content management system), posting some real reviews, getting retail affiliates, and finding the right look for us - things are really starting to take shape! We still have plenty of work to do, formating and such ... but things are almost to the point where I'm happy with it. Now you guys just need to start speaking up in the forums (a slow process I know, no one likes an empty forum - it's on my list).

Anyway, since there are quite a few new eyes on us, I'd thought I'd take the opportunity to reintroduce ourselves.

Who are we? Well, Animation Unlimited my little slice of the animation pie. It's my chance to talk about any type of animation I want... no holds bared, nothing is off limits. Well, nothing within reason ... we'll try to keep it clean.

Why animation? There are several hobbies I know best: computers and video games, Jeeps, old Star Wars Trivia, how to brew beer ... and animation. To be honest, I have tried making static sites dedicated to all those other things in the past and they just did not keep the creative flow going. I work on computers all day so I don't like to talk about them much (my wife would disagree), there are others that know Jeeps a heck of a lot better than I do (the people at SouthernJeeps.org are a good example), and beer is hard to comment on to the masses (few people know what East Kent Goldings or Fruggles are and it's not legal for younger audiences).

Animation is fun, and it has a growing universal appeal. 'Toons are not just for kids anymore. I generally watch a cartoon of some sort almost every day, something I can't say for my other hobbies, so I figured this might be the right subject for a creative outlet. So far, so good, I am really enjoying myself here.

For the time being you will read the musings of myself and VHex, a buddy of mine who will give you animation reviews that are a bit on the lighter side. If you care, you can read more about us in either of the links below. Others may follow.
