Short films!

Yeah, I know... I bet you didn't expect THAT from Aardman!!

It's a far cry from Wallace and Gromit!!




Two disturbing short animation from British animator Suzie Templeton


First is Dog, grim, bleak and depressing but excellent all the same.

And then Stanley

This is brilliant! One of the new Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons, Coyote Falls

Classic Disney here with Three Little Pigs

Just brilliant!

Here's a greaty film from 1977, a cynical take on Pinocchio.

Spinnolio

Here's an oddity. A black and white, marionette parody of Sherlock Holmes from 1930.

The Limejuice Mystery or Who Spat in Grandfather's Porridge?

You've seen all those YouTube mash-ups, well this one is from 1987. Mixing Winnie The Pooh with Apocalypse Now!!

This was on The Story of Film last night on More4, The Hand (1965), a Czech animation from when they were still behind the iron curtain...

Not seen the latest episode of The Story of Film yet (good show, but a bit wishy washy). I haven't seen The Hand either, but have heard of it. There are loads of great animations from that time in Eastern Europe.

We saw alot of Eastern European animations in college, some of them were indeed very trippy. We were told that during the 1980's, alot of funding for Czech animations came from Channel 4 who literally smuggled the money behind the Iron Curtain!!

Larry & Steve, done for Cartoon Network in 1997 by Seth MacFarlane. This was the template for his magnum opus that came shortly after... ::

This was on The Story of Film the other day. From Canada.

Just seen the new short Tangled Ever After! Loved it

One of my favourite short movies...EVER.

Well its more a fan film, but the quality of it is awesome. And a neat little twist a third of the way through...enjoy.

That Batman one is pretty good!


Just seen this -

Cheating a bit here, as its only part 1 of 8 - but ladies and gentlemen...i give you part 1 of: 8



FATAL DEVIATION !!!

Ireland's first martial arts film and generally considered one of the worst films EVER made. Cheer at the wooden acting, cringe at the 'breathtaking' fight scenes (the one in the local Spar with a couple of ne'er do wells is enough to rival any Bruce Lee flick) and gasp in awe at the amazing celebrity actor ......


....Mikey Graham from Boyzone.

Note: this is a serious film and NOT a piss take and is about an underground martial arts tournament in Trim Co.Meath run by monks!

I'm gonna have to watch that!

I've now seen 4 of the films up for this year's best Animated Short Oscar. Dimanche, A Morning Stroll, Wild Life and The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. They're all good and should be watched, but Flying Books is my favourite. Quite lovely I think.

So good!

Both and

Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared

Here's a great little wartime public information film
