Oogloo & Anju
Encyclopedia : O : OO : OOG : Oogloo & Anju
Oogloo & Anju is a short animation created and directed by A. Martian (a.k.a. Ariel Martian) that is part of the Cartoon Network animation showcase Sunday Pants. "Oogloo & Anju" follows the adventures of two characters: Oogloo, a sloth, and Anju, Oogloo's large-eyed bird friend.
The style of the "Oogloo & Anju" cartoons recalls the animation of the 1920s and '30s. They are in black and white and there is little dialogue, except for the opening narration and the occasional vocalization from one of the two main characters. The music is also reminiscent of the '20s and 30s, although it is composed and played on sound chips mined from old Commodore 64 computers by New York musician and composer J. Walter Hawkes. The animation is done by Songgu Kwon, Birgit Rathsmann, Dan Bigelow and Ariel Martian. Songgu Kwon is also the voice of Anju. Nick Balaban, a composer and the voice of Mr. Salt on Blue's Clues (for which Hawkes was also a composer), voices Oogloo.
