Ganked from the post in "Don't be stupid":


So we started talking about Rejection in there, I believe this is more appropriate?  I too saw the animation festival and it was indeed for the awesome, except for those couple of slow ones before the japanese candy/explosion cartoon.  I had seen Rejected before too and thought that was most hilarious.  So, what other animations have you guys seen out there (yes, we can go beyond Disney and Anime!) that really got you to go "Wow that's interesting."  Bill Plimpton has always been one I enjoy watching too, ever since the days of Liquid TV....

Oooh! I like this topic.

Classic animators such as Jan Svankmajer and The Quay Brothers do excellent work, so i urge people to go check them out. Very highly recommended for any stop-motion lovers.

Another stop-motion short i like was done by one of my tutors, Lizzie Oxby. She entered a short for the Edinburgh Film festival a while ago, entitled 'Extension. 21'. I'm not too sure if it won, but it's a beautifully eerie animation all the same. I think that's floating around the web somewhere.

Ooh yes, and there's this little half hour short called 'Flatworld' which is..well...amazing. It's what made me want to become an animator. I think it may be a British thing though, due to it being shown one Christmas, many years ago on BBC2's animation slot. Does anyone remember it? Add to that the fact there hasn't been any DVD release of it and the result is a near impossible animation to find.

Gotta say, i'm more of a fan of animation for music promos, with companies such as Passion Pictures, Shynola, Plates Animation and Airside being favourites. Some of the most unique animation can be seen through music videos.

Prince Achmed, the world's first feature-length cartoon. (Disney likes to take the credit, but THEY LIE)

The 75-minute film was made in 1926 using paper cut-outs; the entire film is in silhouette. It's a fascinating film to look at.

Simulacra:
where's a good site to go to find a collection of short animations?  i'm a huge fan of the short film (having a short attention span) but have no idea where to start looking.

JLM:
If none of you have ever seen Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher you should really check it out.  Though it's only a short it's really something.
