Creating Animated Cartoons with Character

Creating Animated Cartoons with Character

A Guide to Developing and Producing Your Own Series for TV, Web or
Film

Written by Joe Murray. Published in 2010 by Random House/ Watson
Guptil

This book is one creators approach to creating and producing an
animated series. Packed with details and lessons learned from
producing Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo, along with many side
anecdotes.

Also included are interviews with the late Stephen Hillenburg
(Spongebob) Craig McCracken ( Powerpuff girls) Tom Kenny ( voice of
Spongebob and Heffer), and many more professionals discussing their
craft.

The book has since gone out of print, and many resellers are taking
advantage of a wanting audience by selling copies at an immense
profit. I have received many letters from those who cannot afford
these prices and feel they could benefit from the information here.
Even though some of the streaming and broadcast information are a bit
out of date,( and Lets Go Luna is not included here) much of the info
is still relevant.

So I am offering a digital copy for you as a free download. As
payment, maybe you can donate to a food bank, or simply pay it
forward somehow.

I am working on a new book about story and character for animation.
We will see how it goes.

I hope this book can be of service to you. Enjoy!

Who Asked the Moon to Dinner

Written & Illustrated by Joe Murray-Tallfellow Press

In between Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo, Joe Murray produced a
couple of childrens' books with the same warped bend as his
animation. The first of these was Who Asked the Moon to Dinner, and
remains Joe's favorite.

When Issac invites the moon over for dinner, he, his Aunt and Uncle
Snog get more than they bargained for. Who would have guessed the
Moon would destroy the house and juggle the cats. Alas, it's up to
Issac to restore some order.

Written and Illustrated by animator Joe Murray, with whimsical
paintings and lively text. Add a glow in the dark "moon glow " cover,
and this book delights all.

The Enormous Mister Schmupsle

The Enormous Mister Schmupsle!

Written and Illustrated by Joe Murray-Tallfellow Books

Another book of the "Issac Series", Issac and his cousin Trixie agree
to watch Mr. Rumpskin's huge fat cat, with the agreement that they
will not allow him to eat anything. But Issac and Trixie are supposed
to be studying their alphabet. If Uncle Snog and Aunt Faye come home
and discover that they avoided their assignment, they will surely
have to eat some of Aunt Fayes meatloaf. But when Mister Schmupsle
starts eating again, they realize that he is eating through the
alphabet. The Enormous Mister Schmupsle! is a great way for kids to
learn the alphabet AND to watch this fat cat eat his way through
town.
