The Beatles : Rock Band
|
Man, I am so excited for this game’s release. The opening animated intro goes from fantastic to super-amazing and then just down plain outright utterly wonderful. The people behind this little slice of joy should be proud of themselves. |
Spümcø - Quaker’s Quisp Ad
|
How I missed this John Kricfalusi animated ad when it originally came out is just beyond me. Too bad Spümcø is no longer around but at least John K still updates his blog. |
Mel Brooks - The Critic
|
No, not Jay Sherman but the very first film by Mel Brooks. This animated short is from 1963 which is five years before he would go on to do the first version of The Producers. |
Aaron Koblin - Flight Patterns
|
Artist Aaron Koblin’s work is something extremely modern. He is obsessed with taking data and converting it into works of art. I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of his works in the mainstream, so be sure to check out his official site. |
A Short History Of America - Robert Crumb
|
I distinctly remember this series of Crumb’s work being featured in Games Magazine back in the 80’s, because I was totally obsessed with that publication and collected it like crazy. Of course, this take on it is from the documentary Crumb. |
Bravo Profiles - Penn and Teller
|
Sure, this video my be a few years old, but anything about these two geniuses is always well worth watching. They are eassily one of the best acts to ever appear in Vegas. |
Harvie Krumpet
|
Here’s another great short film I caught in the middle of the night on one of the movie channels. It really shows how much story you can tell with a very limited amount of animation. |
100 Years At The Movies
|
Chuck Workman made this great montage of movie moments for the 1994 Oscar show, and I still see it running on Turner Classic Movies from time to time. Here’s a great site that lists all the films from this video. |
Staying Pictures
 |
Poor guy. He’s really trying his damnedest with that bittersweet slice of musical melancholy, but she’s just stuck in her headphones. |
Beach
 |
Some tripped out frogs have a rather interesting day at the beach. I would imagine that quite a large amount of pharmaceuticals were involved in the production of this bit of animation. |
