Granny O’Grimms Sleeping Beauty
Oscar-nominated short with possibly the best birthing scene ever. By Nicky Phelan.
Fenrir
One more animation spot created by Gobelins students for the 2009 Annecy festival. I would pay good money to see these as feature-length films.
Le Lac Gelé
Another animated spot courtesy of the wildly talented students at Gobelins. For the 2009 Annecy festival.
Monstera Deliciosa
One of five spots created by animation students for the 2009 Annecy festival. Brilliant.
Simon’s Cat: Cat Man Do
If you own a cat (or a dog) this will be so strikingly familiar that you will have no choice but to laugh. Marvelous animation by Simon Tofield.
Harvie Krumpet
I had forgotten how much I liked this claymotion until I rediscovered it yesterday. Directed by Adam Elliot and narrated by Geoffrey Rush. Fully deserving of its 2004 Oscar.
Stop Motion with Wolf and Pig
Most of us take photos. Only Takeuchi Taijin was clever enough to do this with his.
The Tree Of Childhood
An amazing animation about a boy’s search for his stolen teddy bear. By Russian director Natalia Mirzoya.
Warp Whistle
For those of us who played Super Mario Brothers until we developed carpal tunnel. By Matthew Dominick.
The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello
A gothic horror mystery set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers.
