This is a hand-drawn, extraordinarily detailed, masterpiece by Jake Fried. Jack started as a painter, but his work has shifted into the temporal dimension; these pictures move, and then some. It’s an animated kaleidoscope. Give your eyes a work out and watch this!
Moosebox & Monster Pack.

In September, Nickelodeon announced the 8 finalists of their Global animated shorts program. Two episodes that really stood out for me where Moosebox and Monster Pack.
Moosebox is 2 minutes of 8-bit animated insanity. This is animation that is proud to be different. It doesn’t look like any other animation being developed or created by a mainstream broadcaster – so plaudits to Nickelodeon all round.
The producers of Monster Pack have an equal measure of creative cajones. Monster Pack unleashes a box of cartoon crazy. I loved it. Fans of Cartoon Food will recognise Pedro from some of our previous posts.
Dual

Sorry for the hiatus, *normal* service will resume shortly. In the meanwhile here is an atmospheric slice of Science Fiction from animation wizards Blue-Zoo. Awesome sound-design from Box of Toys.
Johnny Express

In this great little short from Alfred Imageworks in Korea, Johnny Express has an unusual package to deliver to a strange planet, if he could only find the address…
Wasted

Check out this music video for Wasted by Tiësto (feat. Matthew Koma). Lovely touches of animation throughout.
Lucien, Superstar

Lucien may be a super star, but we think Samantha Leriche-Gionet qualifies too for producing this super sweet student film.

RYU VS JESSE (A Street Fighter-Breaking Bad tribute)

Are you a fan of Breaking Bad, Street Fighter and kick ass animation? Don’t you wish you could combine them all in one great spot? Well, you’re in luck! Check this out.
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to mums everywhere. Here’s a little bit of stop motion cuteness.
Setembro

Junio Barreto – Setembro: An infectious explosion of Brazilian colours. Lovely animated music video.
