At Cartoon Food TV, we’re still feeling the after-glow of Valetine’s Day, so what better way to keep that loving feeling going than this super sweet animation.
Oktapodi is a madcap tale of love, loss and seafood. The stunning cgi animation and fantastic timing brought the spot to the attention of the Oscar judges, gaining it a coveted best animated short nomination.
These loops were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of these days these loops are gonna walk all over you.

Feral is a truly haunting animation. The scratchy monochromatic illustrative style and slow driving music combine to give the piece a haunting and unsettling quality. The trailer below gives you a taste of the story, but to watch the whole thing you will need to follow the link to vimeo’s on demand channel.

First, full disclosure, I mostly share stuff other people have worked on, things are a bit different on this occasion. Pablo was a series developed and conceived by Dan Berlinka and myself. It still feels a very personal piece, and despite being few years old now, has a big place in our hearts. We developed the series with the amazingly talented animator Siri Melchior. The enchanting music was composed by Tanera Dawkins. This animation sample is a short extract, but should give you a pretty good idea of what we had in mind. The whole thing came very close to being produced as a series and everyone involved still hasn’t given up hope that one day they might turn on the TV and see the series playing on Cbeebies or Disney Junior! Well, we can but dream! Anyway, take a look and please tell us what you think. Oh and we’re looking for other neglected or forgotten animations to spotlight, so if you worked on something that you think deserves another look let us know.
