Spider-Man - Revolt in the Fifth Dimension
![]() |
This is doubtlessly one of the most tripped out and freaky Spidey cartoon that I’ve ever seen. |
Marianne Faithfull - Broken English
![]() |
Happy B-day to Marianne Faithful, the daughter of a Baroness and a British spy who went on to work with some of the most legendary names in rock. |
A Christmas Carol
Ode To Joy
![]() |
When you combine a whole mess of insane rabbits with outrageous amounts of violence and a bit of Beethoven’s glorious Ninth, this is exactly what happens. |
A Cosmic Christmas
![]() |
A special holiday tale about a boy, his goose, and some aliens who have to learn about the true meaning of Christmas, or something like that. |
Monomatik - The Soil
![]() |
Shadow puppetry is always a treat when it’s done this well, so my hat goes off to sputnic for making such a touching video. For more on Monomatik, be sure to check out their site as well. |
Rare Exports Inc
![]() |
I thought they rounded up a whole bunch of winos, derelicts, or whatever else they could find living in cardboard boxes behind the department store. |
J Dilla - Nothing Like This
![]() |
Is that a flagellum popping out of the tippy top of your head, or are you just happy to see me? |
A Space Ghost Christmas
![]() |
“You know, the smell of frozen snow always brings back the memories of when I was a little Space Ghost, in the choir!” |
Android 207
![]() |
Just your average, everyday slice of life story about a skeleton torso robot thingy trapped in a nightmarish labyrinth riddled with deadly pitfalls. |
Time Trip

On this thought provoking voyage, you’ll encounter a time-travelling pizza, marionettes, Bourbon Street, and perhaps even God. |
Rube Goldberg Christmas Contraption
![]() |
The Mythbusters built a Christmas themed Rube Goldberg device for their recent holiday special and the typical geekish antics of Adam are, of course, the highlight of the whole shebang. |
Glasgow Sky - Kama Aina & Bill Wells
![]() |
An extremely simple, yet profoundly moving video created by the Danish video-duo known as UFEX. |
L’âge D’or
![]() |
This notorious and scandalous film was commissioned by a nobleman for his wife’s birthday. I wonder what she thought of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí’s work? |
Eowyn Confronts The Witch King
![]() |
‘Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!’ Hell yeah, you go, girl. Tottaly kick the Witch-king of Angmar’s ass. He’s got it coming. |
Rafter - Gentlemen
![]() |
Eggy-wegs. I would like to smash them. Check out William Haun’s site for more indie video goodness and whatnot. |
Yellow Submarine
![]() |
This is absolutely one of my favorite films of all time, animated or otherwise, and I thought it would be a nice way to cap off my John Lennon tribute posts. |
John Lennon - (Just Like) Starting Over
![]() |
“Our life together is so precious together. We have grown, we have grown. Although our love is still special, let’s take a chance and fly away somewhere alone.” |
John Lennon Is Dead
![]() |
At 10:50 pm on December 8th 1980, John Lennon was shot and fatally wounded in front of his home, the Dakota, in New York. |
The Lorax
![]() |
“What was the Lorax? And why was it there? And why was it lifted and taken somewhere from the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows?” |
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
![]() |
Which do you choose, a hard or a soft option? I know it’s old, and so is a lot of the stuff I post, but still, it’s good and that is all that matters. |
The Rooster Project
![]() |
They say it’s “A tragic romantic comedy horror cartoon epic in a 12-piece bucket value meal!”, so yeah, whatever that means. |
Sigur Rós - Svefn-g-englar
![]() |
Indeed, this still may very well be one of the absolute finest and most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. |
Sesame Street - The Geefle & The Gonk
![]() |
Once upon a time, on the planet of Snoo, there lived a Geefle and a Gonk and the only thing to eat were nectarines, from the nectarine tree… |
Popeye Meets Ali Baba’s Forty Thieves
![]() |
Even though his name is clearly featured in the title, Ali Baba never even shows up in this legendary Fleischer Studios’ tour de force. |
Love And Rockets - No New Tale to Tell
![]() |
“When you’re down, it’s a long way up. When you’re up, it’s a long way down. It’s all the same thing. No new tale to tell.” |
Freedom River
![]() |
Animator Stephen Bosustow produced, while Orson Welles narrated this insightful short from 1971. Amazing how little has changed… |
