SImply one of the best things.
Just watch the whole thing. TRUST ME. There’s a point at which you’ll think you’ve got it all sussed out and you’re reaching for your mouse/touchscreen/young child who works the computer for you to go somewhere else.
DO NOT DO THAT. WAIT. CONTINUE WATCHING. THANK ME LATER. OR DAMN ME. OR BOTH.

Stumbled upon this beautifully rendered G.I.R. Almost TOO good looking for a robot made of from garbage.

Liked the first of these Fester Fish cartoons from a while back, and here’s a new one. For me the best bit is when he says “It’s delish”, and his girlfriend is just so grotesque you gotta love her. The first one’s still my favorite, but more of this stuff is still good. Stuff, guys.
Stuff.

Some friends over at Titmouse Animation asked me to draw a chicken and a buffalo for their unholy ‘5 Second Day’ ritual in which their crew work on personal projects for the entire day, resulting in tiny animations like this one.
Don’t blame me for the nightmares resulting from this thing.

When I think of people furiously clicking away at their keyboards, carving their fiery, unfiltered thoughts onto the skin of some internet message board that THE WORLD MAY KNOW THEIR MIND, I instantly flash forward to when mankind is no more. I imagine the sentient machines from another world combing through the rubble and dust that remains of our once great and absurd civilization, piecing together a disintegrating puzzle from fragments that maybe once meant something to something.
The beings from another world, from a time yet to come, they’ll never know that soandso2878 got furious about Spiderman having natural web spinners or how indignant some guy got about Kraft changing the packaging of his favorite snack cheese. What was wrong with the old design, goddammit?! The servers upon which those invectives burned likely ran down not long after the creatures, demented by leisure time, ceased to exist.
When I really give thought to what constitutes a majority of the internet, I feel that itch, that nagging reminder that I’m not one of those future-machine-things, sifting curiously through foreign antiquity, I’m snapped back to the horrible reality, Matrix-style, gasping and appalled, and, strangely enough, covered in slime.
Then someone makes something like this video, forging something fantastic from the very shit that it couldn’t exist without! Makes it better, ya know?

I’ve got this thing about how, in order to make it to a theatrical setting, most computer animated stuff seems to have to have the style completely drained from it leaving you with what looks like cereal mascot levels of blandness. Even in animated films that I really like because of the story and overall effectiveness of the animation, I’m often left wondering why there isn’t a greater sense of style compared to the smaller screen counterparts where a clearer creator’s style is more apparent.
I loved How to Train your Dragon, but really, the only bit of design that stood out to me as a clear product of some personal sense of style was the design of Toothless, an undeniably Chris Sanders design, a design that really looked nothing at all like the rest of the dragons in the movie.
Those first few minutes of Kung Fu Panda, those first few beautiful, 2D minutes, are so much more amazing looking than the rest of the movie, and it’s almost painful watching that transition to very nice looking, very slick CG that has so little of that sense of personal style.
I asked someone who, at the time was working on Dragon, about why there’s a more visually identifiable approach in television animation with greater variety of stylization than the theatrical stuff, Dragon included, which all seems to exist within a much narrower spectrum of design. Her answer was to shrug and eat another forkful of mashed potatoes.
I’m as amazed by a fake blade of grass looking exactly like a real blade of grass as the next fan of technology, but a lil’ change now and then would be nice to watch on the big screen. Would a general audience really be so alienated by a bit more style?
Anyhow, saw the lil’ animation included here and thought it looked pretty damned nice.
