As someone staring down the double-barreled shotgun of her mid-forties I chortle regularly at The Cougar Den, featuring one of Kristin Wiig's chameleon-like comic personas. While the actresses pull off their hormone-and-botox ridden characters with great aplomb (and a sultrified version of the white man's overbite), the unsung heroes of the sketches are SNL's makeup artists — who have clearly made Lauren Hutton's "pooch and nose" techniques, as well as Charla Krupp's contribution to the 21st century literary oeuvre, items of dedicated study.
I've been living under a parental rock apparently; have only just discovered Jane and the Dragon.
Jane and the Dragon statue from WETA by popculturegeek.com
Fantastic character voicing, dramatic (but not too scary) story lines, machinima-esque animation (motion capture, turns out), a girl training to be a knight, and one big, quirk-filled dragon. It doesn't look like the show's still in production, but it's on DVD and the books look fun too.
More info, games, etc.
