Jim Cox and Michael Fry, the two cartoonists behind the Over the Hedge
comic strip and subsequent Dreamworks feature, are on a mission: bring
print cartoons into the digital age. It was from this idea that
RingTales was born.
In February of 2007, RingTales was awarded the exclusive license to the New Yorker magazine's library of cartoons. The guys transformed the iconic one-frame cartoons into 20-second animated video clips, while managing to maintain their original vibe.
The New Yorker Animated Cartoons were a hit, making the charts on iTunes and getting featured on newyorker.com.
More recently, RingTales really hit the jackpot with the release of an animated version of Scott Adams' comic strip, Dilbert [iT]. Fans of the office park denizen and his dog, Dogbert, flocked to the web for their daily helping of Dilbert humor and philosophy.
This enthusiasm recently secured RingTales a highly coveted title: the top podcast in iTunes.
And if that's not enough proof of RingTales' iTunes animation dominance, check out the results of a search for "cartoons."
The VoloMedia crew is delighted to have RingTales as part of our network. We're big fans and we look forward to seeing what they come out with next!
