I wish I could find Fly Frolic online because it was one of my favorites as a kid. There is a couple more as well but I can't find them online.

also in a similar vein: Ghost of Stephen Foster

Oh my god, thank you for sharing this! This is the best thing I have seen in a long time!

[Inane]

Yeah! This is like my favorite rendition of the song, I just wish there was a higher quality version.

The Ghost of Stephen Foster music video is modelled after the old Cab Calloway betty boop cartoons (down to copying him dancing at the beginning of Minnie The Moocher)

[jakten]

Yeah, I prefer the version in the animation too, as well as the version of The Scat song in Old Man in the Mountain.

Some more animations goodness:


A short by some students from Gobelins (I would love to learn there!)

If there is anyone out there who still hasn't seen

by Don Hertzfeldt, I strongly suggest you watch it, at least so that you get the jokes.

[FrankieSmileShow]

Now that's my kind of topic!
I loooove me some animation. Maybe some of those will already be mentionned...

I didnt see the Old Man and the sea mentionned anywhere!




Its made by Alexander Petrov, based off a story by Ernest Hemingway. A feature-length animated movie made from finger painting on glass, its one of my all time favorite pieces of animation out there.

I highly recommand the Drawn blog, they showcase awesome animation, cartoons and illustration.
Heres a few gems they featured recently:





The Tadpole, a horribly cute lil animation short, they posted it just days ago on the blog.





A series of animated clips made for the identity spots of a TV channel. Robots dancing to Late Of the Pier's "Space and the woods"? yessssssssss (love that fucking band)





Awesome Don Hertzfeldt short that will make you cringe in the best way possible. It was shown in front of a large audience where everyone cringed together, must have been adorable to see

A short animation made using google docs. No, really; like you can find a link to the actual document and watch it for reals. its awesome! I think it was made by google people to showcase the possibilities of their thing.

Dance of the neon knight by Paul Rayment. This one is pretty famous I think. Good old fighting animations. These kind of shorts feel a bit juvenile at times but this one is so stylish and well made, you let it slide...

The terrible thing of alpha 9. Sci fi short about a space monster hunting guy going after an infamous creature on a hostile planet. I love this short, its super stylish, funny, cute and sad. The best shorts have these four qualities! This is one of my favorite animated shorts out there.
