I've already spammed Facebook with this animated short, but I can't help myself. This is so beautiful, IT NEEDS TO BE SHARED.

The animator says on his blog that he's been learning SFX animation from Michel Gagne for years. JEALOUS. I want to pick his brainmeats. Amazing ( Read more... )

I am a horrible person and don't keep a good track of what animated films are in the works, so I had no clue there was a new Winnie the Pooh movie coming out till a couple of days ago.

A must-see for any Beauty and the Beast fan.

Oh man, I had NO IDEA that you could totally take an already existing Disney movie and replicate it SHOT FOR SHOT with shitty CG animation. WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING WITH MY LIFE. Art school was a WASTE.

Oscar nominees are up.

And speaking of "up", FINALLY. Up is in the Best Picture category! *runs around flailing* The only other picture to be nominated was Beauty and the Beast. This is WRONG WRONG WRONG. Animation is just as worthy of Best Picture praise as anything else. Gasp. Something that has stunning visuals AND has a well-written screenplay ( Read more... )

I was wandering around the Internets (like I do every day) and I came across this. Thought it was interesting and thought I should share.
