'Twas a big week here at Aniboom--a very big week.

On Tuesday, we announced the Marvel Wildcards for Aniboom's Marvel Motion Comics Competition, one awesome Hulk entry by Guicho Nuñez and a dazzling Nova piece by Arnaud Faire.  Next week, we'll announce our $10,000 Grand Prize Winner Motion Comic, which will then grace the ions and electrodes of Marvel.com.

Our featured Youtube animations showed off the Five Finalists in our Fox Holiday Animation Challenge.  We also gave you exclusive interviews with our FOX Finalists, on this here very same blog.

And, as all this was going on, we celebrated The Simpsons' 20th Anniversary in style.  So, without further Apu, let's give y'all Simpsons addicts one more priceless clip, before I sleep the weekend away, so that I may return to you rested and ready to impart only the greatest Aniboom news there is!

(Stephen Leonard)

We close out the week of FOX Finalist interviews with animator Stephen Leonard, our Fan Favorite and Community Choice!  His awesome series, My Life Plus Animals, is a huge hit on Aniboom, and it's no wonder his Thanksgiving installment grabbed FOX's eye.  Watch it and then read the words from the slacker animation master himself!

What has most defined the humor of the generation that came of age in the 1990s?  There are many answers but the only right one is The Simpsons.

Mixing irreverance with political satire, cultural commentary, and familial love is perhaps the most influential television program of all time.  The endless-running The Simpsons is turning 20, and instead of trying to make endless references to its stories and characters, rather than regurgitating its history that everyone knows, I'll give you five personal opinions I have on the show (and then some clips!).

1.  The best character relationship is Lisa and Homer, the most human and heart-breaking interpersonal dynamic of any two characters on the show.  Both know that the other operates at a different mental and emotional level, but over time each has found mutual satisfaction in accepting, and being accepted by, the other.  While Lisa is too smart to ever truly connect with Homer, a man of simple delights who approaches the world with little nuance or reflection, it is their love for one another, simply that of a girl to her father, that sustains and strengthens their relationship, as well as the fact that both understand the cognative chasm which divides them.

2.  The show jumped the shark after Season Ten.  There, I said it--the show was good through Season Ten (most state Season Eight, but they are wrong).  It's been better in the last two seasons though.

3.  Homer Badman is the funniest and best episode.  Why?  Because everyone (every character, social group, political ideology) is attacked and mocked, the jokes and writing are impeccable, and the Under the Sea spoof is unmatched.

4.  Second place is King Size Homer.  This needs no explanation.

5.  The Simpsons Movie should have been nominated for an Oscar.  Yes, it should have lost to Ratatouille (itself written and directed by Simpsons vet Brad Bird), but it was way better than Surf's Up.

Okay--CLIP TIME!!!

And the best clip EVER

(Yotam Perel)

Today we speak to the hilarious Yotam Perel, a talented and witty Israeli animator with as much a love of Flash animation as comedy, and whose blending of the two has made him one of FOX's Finalists.

Check out "The Dangers of Halloween", and then our awesome interview!
