ok ok let's get this out of the way first

alright... back to the thread.


i've watched some good animated shorts lately and i got the feeling like there must be a lot more of those around, which i've missed. let's make a list of good animated short films (preferably with links and short description).

###

Dancing Animals in Love

bad furry lsd trip worth waiting for the end.

Snowblood

don't be mean to snowmen.

The Backwater Gospel

a wild west town is expecting the undertaker.

The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

steampunk silhouettes exploring life and death.

The Saga Of Bîorn

a viking's quest to find an enemy who would secure him a place in valhalla. includes burning nuns.



ps.: please keep the animu to a minimum

There is a certain torrent for a "Beltesassar's Short Animation Festival", a compilation of around 300+ animated shorts from various periods from all over the world, that come in 16 or so parts, spanning 24+ GBs. You can find the parts 1 to 13 in a single torrent by the name "Festival korotkometrazhnyh" and the remaining parts individually. And don't be discouraged by the low amount of seeders; they are true seeders like 3rd world immigrant breeders.

Get it while you can. Worth every bit of it.

edit:

Here and here are the links for the internet niggers anyway.

sounds interesting... any specific recommendations ?

The Building

psa on the dangers of singing in the shower.

Id rather watch weaboo shit than Snowblood



Anyway:

All of them

CalArts graduates usually post their graduation of midterm short on Youtube which have some gems among them.

Also, the Oscars have a Animated Short category.

The Old Man And The Sea
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1EbNvHDxbA

you're welcome to... if you find some good ones, let me know

there's just too much self pity in russian animation (as in "firing range", which you've linked)

true... so do vancouver film school, animation workshop and a lot of others but some of it is rather boring and i'd like to get codexers' personal faves

arguably one of the less shitty categories when it comes to content but still just marketing


thanks for the links... the animation style of "The Old Man And The Sea" is pretty awesome


[edit]include the posted stuff in the first post or keep it like documentary thread ?

Your uneducated, generalized opinion disguised as fact offends me greatly.

More, my favorite short film

Katedra




Doll Face




9




Tir Nan Og




Fallen Art

good... was hoping you'd give some contrary examples, though

hell... that's depressing... getting a "modern times" vibe

i hear tim burton's long version sucks... anyone able to confirm ?

Actually I believe that the same director made the long version and Burton was only a producer but yeah the movies is quite a disappointment. Maybe those who didnt watch first the short version actually found the long one good, but for me it was quite bad.

great... saw "Les Triplettes de Belleville" a few years ago and liked it very much

as with "The Old Man And The Sea" amazing style

Thankfully, the thread subject is animated shorts lest we might have been discussing full blown series spanning multiple seasons.

actually i was expecting someone to post salad fingers if it was more than just shorts... and i've seen that far too often

Inspirace

a 1948 short by karel zeman with glass figurines

Vincent



Balance



The Fly




The Man Who Planted Trees




Tyger

heh... they never look down

looks like playing rebel assault with a fly instead of an x-wing


###

Drawing Inspiration

recycling fail

Destino

not much left of what dali actually wanted to do with this, but you'll notice the authentic bit

Das Rad

There Will Come Soft Rains



Harvie Krumpet



The Pier

excellent... reminded me of the line "If I ever just disappear into the woods, it’s because I’ve found my sanity." worked in an old people's home for a about year once and the most fun people there were those who had completely given up on pretending that what society thought mattered.

marriage parable detected

pretty cool... liked the atmosphere and the 'monster cam' they got from evil dead


###
i'll add this to the post apocalyptic shorts (even if it has very little animation):
Gone With The Blastwave (fanmovie)

a short based on the excellent Gone With The Blastwave webcomic (writer is a lazy finnish fuck who updates once a year or so)

TARBOY



Le Cafe



Recoverd



Fast Film

Extremely cool one : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xj3b_s ... e_creation

Extremely cute one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-2m_jD6vVM

most impressive flash animation i've seen so far... the timing to the score is pretty much flawless
(if you're into flash animation in general, take a look at albinoblacksheep )

wouldn't have guessed that it was a 2003 film... the amount of work that went into this is amazing

ah supamonks... wouldn't mind a longer version of the end bit as well

i remember seeing "Oktapodi" in some pre oscar hype when it was nominated in 2009. in the end it lost to the non-animu japanese animation "Tsumiki no ie".

###

Tsumiki no ie (The House of Small Cubes)

a much better version of waterworld

Le foto dello scandalo

italian noir

Jan Švankmajer - Dimensions of Dialogue
Yuriy Norshteyn - Hedgehog in the Fog

my favorite too.

the bit with the two heads reminded me of some adventure games

very poetic but it feels like there's a lot lost in translation... oh and the owl is a jerk

The Notwist - Chemicals

Röyksopp - Remind me
