Titles By Ronald Searle

I've been meaning to make this for a while: here's a supercut of all the film title sequences designed by Ronald Searle!

Animated Molesworth update!

 

More on adapting Searle's style into animation: London-based animation director and fellow Searle fanatic, Uli Meyer, has news on his 'Molesworth' feature - read it here. 

Uli did the illustrations for the new 'Molesworth' book (above) proving if anyone can match Searle's style he can! (from Korero Press and now available in the US).

Check out Uli's proof-of-concept animated piece below.
