Animated scene from unmade Ren & Stimpy cartoon

200612181121On his blog, "All Kinds of Stuff," John K has uploaded an incredible animated scene from a never-produced episode of Ren & Stimpy. Planned as part of an epic, the scene shows pessimistic Ren reading a violent and gruesome book about the children's crusade — beautifully done in the style of a Mary Blair Golden Book (!) — to the naive and optimist Stimpy, as a way to teach Stimpy that life sucks. I have no doubt that network executives would have killed this episode the second they found about about it. I hope John K can produce it for online distribution one day. Link
