Very nice! I was trying to figure out why I liked the stop motion sequence so much, and I realized that it reminded me of this piece:sigma 6 posted:Jan Svankmeyer And that Panda Bear video was just lovely.

For this week's contribution, I bring something from 1948. Per the description:quote:Meet Charley, your jovial cartoon guide to Britain’s changing towns and cities. Interestingly, the New Towns Act of 1946 is not explicitly mentioned in this film, with the recommendations presented as if they had been conjured up by a popular movement. Halas & Batchelor worked with the Central Office of Information on seven Charley films which communicated many of the landmark policies of the post-war Labour Government. Here now is Halas & Batchelor: Charley in New Town: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta_n1wLARKM

That city made zero sense, and gave no indication that they planned for any tornadoes hitting the greenhouse towers. Great find! Stumbled upon this Estonian piece, which I am linking due to moments of being  . Made by Priit Pärn in 1987, here now is Eine murul (Breakfast on the Grass):https://youtu.be/4PS5NP-eP1s

Found this thread going down the rabbit hole trying to find this deranged underground cartoon that some girl animated (and narrated) about a dog that was homicidal or had some sort of sexual deviancy... It's been a while and it came up in a conversation and nobody can remember it because it's been like, 6 years and Courage the Cowardly Dog and any number of "generic name-the-dog" cartoons are the black hole from which no SEO could escape trying to find this. And just so I'm actually CONTRIBUTING something, this animation for being super violent.Judge Dredd: Superfiend - Angry Metal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRLlICw1UWk (Angry Metal also did the music video "Dark All Day" for Gunship which is worth a watch too... not exactly obscure though)

We can give it a go if you like. What else can you remember about the short? Was it stop motion, hand drawn, or CGI? Rough black and white (think: 80s CalArts), or finished color? Did it look really old (mid century), or did it look like something that came out later? Did it air as part of a festival? Some of the stuff I have found to date came from Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation and other film festivals.

Do let us know if you can recall anything else about that short. I'd love to help you find it! Autumn is typically a time of transition, when people dust off old resolutions in preparation for the holiday season and New Year's Eve. Our (sadly racist at times) friends at That Company know all too well, which brings about a charmingly demented short of theirs from 1951 called No Smoking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0JnM4MvhVc Wiki link about the short: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Smoking_(1951_film)

Artsygrrl posted:The Raggedy Ann & Andy movie was so weird - thanks for sharing that one! Another weird movie aimed at kids was The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985). This news got lost amidst the other major headlines, but Will Vinton passed away yesterday at the age of 70. You may not remember his name, but his work with stop motion was a staple throughout the latter part of the 20th century. The above quote featuring a clip from The Adventures of Mark Twain was but one of his many projects. Among them:

You are most welcome!  This week I bring another Oscar-winning short, this time from 1967. Here now is Fred Wolf's The Box:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXFPT7FJ38k Please note that for some reason, the video in the link has some dead air at the beginning and then another three minutes of dead air at the end. No idea. Stub-sized Wiki link for short: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box_(1967_film) IMDB link for director, who has worked on some familiar projects: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0937747/?ref_=tt_ov_dr

While more still shots than actual fluid animation, the content for this short seemed appropriate for these modern times. Funny how stuff from decades past still carries weight! quote:A parable about the consequences of being a bystander to evil, from a disturbing poem by Maurice Ogden, read by Herschel Bernardi. Shadows and shifting geometric planes lend a Chirico-like quality to Julian's animation. Great musical score by Serge Hovey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRDq7aneXnk

as always thank you for this thread. I wish I could share more than a trailer but this feature looks really promising https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEc3R3Pn0FA and my friend has nothing but good things to say after she saw, she described it as a quay brothers-style anthology piece. It was apparently made by a handful of artists over the span of years, with lots of meticulously handmade scenes and sets

Oh wow, yes, I will surely have to look that one up - very stunning! Love that you can just see the hard work that went into every single detail in that trailer, which means the actual piece must be rad as heck. (and you are most welcome! )

As we head deeper into the holiday season, what better way to kick things off than with a tale of greed. From 1968 comes an animated short directed by Charles Swenson starring Paul Frees, Agnes Moorehead, and Keenan Wynn called The Magic Pear Tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hemV2V51DYA There is not a wiki article for it, but there is a mini one for Swenson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Swenson IMDB link for short: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063257/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 According to IMDB, this short was nominated for an Oscar.

Raoul Servais, warning you to never feed a Harpya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF-TajnHT2o Sirene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBd9Pa3bxYU Does anyone remember the name of the Spike and Mike's clip with a child who unwraps a bunch of presents on Christmas morning, but they're all footballs and pogo sticks, and he has no legs?

I tried sniffing around the Wiki article for Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation - the closest thing I could think of is one that may prove to be the hardest to find. Around 1997, which would be Volume 4, there was a short listed under C. Miles Thompson called Stubbs (2:59), which I suspect could be the short you're hunting down. Spike and Mike Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_and_Mike%27s_Festival_of_Animation#Volume_1 IMDB listing for C. Miles Thompson: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1976683/ Considering that the director I am suspecting went on to do bigger and more kid friendly things, I wonder if he had that short yanked from the internet.

In case I missed someone mentioning it, don't miss Off the Air on Adult Swim. If you have a Roku or other device that has the Adult Swim app, you can watch every episode. Some animations, like the one below, are contracted just for the show. Other animations though are shortened, censored, or excerpts as the show wouldn't be long enough to include all the animations in full. There are fans that make their own "episodes" on YouTube, if you just search YouTube for "Off the Air." https://vimeo.com/288133987 Interesting lecture by the animator about the above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BIncIPSyII A couple more that were memorable (to me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT2L2TwD0pc https://vimeo.com/52410580 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuJqUvBj4rE (This was too long to air on an episode and aired by itself; there are nine different animators who contributed) Also, whether or not you like Million Dollar Extreme, the animations and show openings and such for World Peace were cool, and most all of them were aired but had all text censored. The uncensored versions were posted in recent months on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT8vPNsrACo&t=231s Some of the censored vs. uncensored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-Dng-yYNSI When Adult Swim found out the "1 infinity" symbol is from the cinema shooter James Holme's notebooks, I think they freaked out and didn't know how much coded or hidden poo poo might be in all the text, so they just censored it all.

Thank you for that - and I can totally see where the SuperJail! animators might be hiding in that one short. Sorry I've been away (things got busy). Since we're now in the holiday season, what better way to kick things off than with something that is truly sick and twisted: Boba Fett cartoon - (The Star Wars Holiday Special, 1978): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsNwP_1kTZQ Weirdly enough, I sort of like this segment more than the rest of the cringe-fest that is the holiday special. List has been updated.

In case anyone reading this thread isn't aware, you should definitely be watching The Shivering Truth on Adult Swim. It's Vernon Chatman's (Wonder Showzen, Heartshe Holler) latest. It's all done with real physical stop motion puppets. I heard Trey Parker's voice a couple of times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA8UDhEDcP4

Great stuff! The ostriches were beautifully rendered, and The Shivering Truth looks really cool. I cannot afford cable, but if I could, I'd totally tune in for that.  Both are on the list now.

Here is a weird, dark, and twisted animation but unfortunately low res. I just watched the HD version on a compilation DVD and it looks great so... uh... support the artist and buy the HD version. It's a great little short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGW0aQSgyxQ The Passenger sigma 6 fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Dec 21, 2018 |
