Spider-Man - Revolt in the Fifth Dimension

Just close your eyes This is doubtlessly one of the most tripped out and freaky Spidey cartoon that I’ve ever seen.



Marianne Faithfull - Broken English

Could have come through anytime 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

Happy Holidays and all that jazz “Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead,” said Scrooge. “But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!”



Ode To Joy

I love this!!! 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

Who has a goose as a pet? 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

Shadowy 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

Omg, santa penis 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

Ice Cream! 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

Gabba hey, gabba gabba hey hey hey “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

Yay, skelebot 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

Trippy On this thought provoking voyage, you’ll encounter a time-travelling pizza, marionettes, Bourbon Street, and perhaps even God.



Rube Goldberg Christmas Contraption

Zany and nerdy as usual 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

This post is for Allison...I'll miss you so much An extremely simple, yet profoundly moving video created by the Danish video-duo known as UFEX.



L’âge D’or

The scorpion is an arachnid species found in various parts of the world 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

The Black Captain is still pretty cool ‘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

All your eggs are belong to us Eggy-wegs. I would like to smash them. Check out William Haun’s site for more indie video goodness and whatnot.



Yellow Submarine

All together now 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

Brilliantly touching “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

Peace be with you John 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

The Lorax is a hippy “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

Here today, built to last 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

Chicken bling bling 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

For Allison, please get well 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

Shirley 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

Open sez me! 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

Dancing bees!!! Yay!!! “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

They've fouled up the river yet again Animator Stephen Bosustow produced, while Orson Welles narrated this insightful short from 1971. Amazing how little has changed…
