Animation's inspiration

The film festival opener
for the 2010 ‪ PalmSprings Short Festival‬.

Very good short film by KilledtheCat Productions and Sheridan College, which I think would make an excellent pilot for a series.

A true comic gem, I love it.

The story of a rodent's unrelenting quest for happiness and fulfillment.

A french classic!

Collaboration of french singer Orelsan with stop motion animator Patagraph ( Victor Haegelin).

A great youtube discovery piece of stop motion!

Definitely a short film to see in the theatre! Another one I had the chance to see at the Annecy Festival. Fantastic surprise!

I was lucky enough to attend the first screening at the Annecy festival years ago! A beautiful tribute to classic cartoons!

Everyone is talking about it! Finally, another animated series for adults in the vein of Love, Death & Robots. This time it's Amazon producing it, with Tim Miller at the helm!

Oni, a fantastic mini series available on Netflix. It's in 3D but styled like stop motion. A great family movie!

The Blue Umbrella was noticed upon its release, in part due to its technological advancements (light reflection management, realism).

"Once upon a studio" is a short to celebrate 100Th year anniversary of Disney Stutio, and pay tribut to all artists who worked there.

A superb 2D animation created by Aaron Blaise to promote the Procreate Dreams software on iPad.

Piper is a short film by Disney. A super cute little bird discovers that overcoming his fear opens great doors

An evocative short film. When a story is enough for a minimalist animation.

This is a trailer for Starling that I had the chance to watch, and I'm sure it will win many awards everywhere. Beautifully made and very touching. A must-see when you get the chance.

Here is a clip from Flow. This animated movie won the Jury's prize at Annecy in 2024.

One of the pre-screening short films from the Annecy Festival, by Gobelins.

Trailer for Ghost Cat, a French-Japanese production. It is interesting to see how the animation closely follows the references. Good preparation beforehand saves a considerable amount of production time.

The trailer for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Beautiful!

Short by the animation genius Alvise Avati

Very good short film by Louis Clichy (yes, 14 years ago). Louis Clichy, who worked at Pixar is also the director of Asterix: The Land of the Gods.

Fan film made with Blender and Houdini, stay tuned for 2024!

Do you want more cartoon? An amazing making of is available, rig is just crazy!

A couple of birds try to save their eggs from a volcanic eruption

A wonderful reference to the 2012 Olympics. Made by Laika's stop motion's puppets. With the 2024 Olympics coming up, why not enjoy it?

Great short from Disney, not getting old.

Very nice and creative short: An Iranian girl unfolds her school memories through the wrinkles and fabrics of her old uniform. She admits that she’s nothing but a “female” and explores the roots of this idea in her school years.

One of the pre-screening short films from the Annecy Festival, by Gobelins.

Animation once again pushed to the extreme by the brilliant Olov Burman.

Jeremy and Aurora, naked like the Biblical heroes, have lost their way. In the open waters of the ocean, the two cover nautical miles on a log and with oars that resemble long cake spatulas. They are about to encounter a bird, drift off into the sunset, face deadly dangers from the depths, and imitate the voice of a dolphin. To sum up the tragicomedy of their relationship, everything for which the helpless couple is unprepared for lies ahead.

Silhouette tells the story of a young woman named Claire who just moved into a big city. We follow her into this cold environment where she quickly witnesses her body disappearing, as a visual representation of her isolation and loneliness.

Chop chop Before it's too late! A great candy short :)

Amazing stop motion animation! Hidari

Another gem from Birdbox studio! We won't say it enough, but a short but great anim is way more effective!

Short film made in Blender to promote the free software! A delight!

One of the pre-screening short films from the Annecy Festival, by Gobelins.

A great animation classic. Is it really intentional? Or just a big fail? In both cases, it's genius!

Short film from Gobelins, which took the students to the Oscars! A chase between an octopus and a fishmonger in the blue Greek alleys.

As usual The Gebonion's work is fantastic. It is made with Blender, on his free time ! Well done Aju!
