Documents found on a North Korean server suggest US studios may have unknowingly outsourced animation work
North Korean illustrators and graphic designers appear to have helped produce work for US animation studios unbeknownst to those companies, suggesting that unreleased episodes of a few popular American cartoons could include work from one of the most closed-off economies in the world.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's been this way for a long time. SEK Studio, North Korea's production company, worked on The Simpsons Movie, Futurama and Avatar: The Last Airbender. (They did not work on Disney films, that's just a rumor.)
The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy's couch gag.
Clerks had a bit on the Korean animation houses too...
That was in 2000. 10 years before the Banksy gag on the Simpsons.
Bear is driving! How can that be?!
I loved the Clerks cartoon and I still quote this all the time. All in the name of Sexy Randal the Pharaoh Wizard!
"Nobody called you that..."
"That one guy did!"
That was the most deeply hilarious and fucked up thing I've seen.
"Play ball!"
