World of Weird Al Yankovic

Right, I meant the videos included on the DVD.

Did some more research and other than the folks at Ghostbot mentioning that they did a Weird Al video on their facebook page, haven't found any other information regarding the videos yet.

But I did find this quote from Fred Huggins back when we had speculation going on for Internet Leaks!

Who's Aaron Augenblick, you ask? Aaron Augenblick is the head of Augenblick Studios, an NYC-based animation house currently producing some of the best hand-drawn animation today. Their credits include the Adult Swim series "Superjail," the animated segments in "Wonder Showzen" and the "Lying Rhino" animated sequence in David Wain's fantastic 2007 comedy film "The Ten."

Augenblick's animation is distinctive for being weird, fast-paced, mind-blowing, darkly twisted, and overflowing with massive amounts of cartoonish violence and blood. PERFECT for a Weird Al video.

Your wish has been granted Fred!

This album won't have all the music videos either? Why doesn't Al ever do that?

Probably so that he can release the video and album fairly close together. Otherwise we'd probably have to wait another a month or so before the album comes out.

This looks as if it may prove to be one of Mr. Yankovics best albums since...Off the Deep End. (My personal favorite).
I DO however hope that all the unheard songs turn out fantastic, I already have a large disdain towards Craigslist and Ringtone. I find neither of them funny, and the videos added very little. Mr. Lynch is a incredibly funny and talented man, and I feel as if his talents may have been waisted in the Craigslist video. Al can make some incredible videos, and it's dissapointing to see so many animated ones, yet at the same time, CNR proved that animated videos can prove just as funny as any live action video. I believe that TMZ, Party in the CIA, and SFTCTM will be the heavy sets.

Al's love for animation is the reason he does animated videos...

There's a picture on Facebook of Al and Cris Shapan in front of a green screen:

Well, since it's confirmed now that no other former SOL animators will be returning (besides the ones previously mentioned) I guess my theory goes right out the window...and on the day I posted it do. I'm glad I'm a little more familiar with these new guys so thanks to whoever posted the links for "research". However, I would like to point out that Al's new bio page does say "some of the worlds top animators AND directors" which means that we could get some more live action going here. The video that Cris Shapan is working on looks like it will be at least part live action. I'm thinking "Another Tattoo", maybe?

Jon, can you post the public URL for that photo?

That would be my guess.
