I thought I couldn’t be more excited about Disney/Pixar’s upcoming Wall-e. Then I watched this short featurette about the various designs and personalities of the cast of robots. Holy shit. I can’t wait.
Every nerd bone in my body is tingling.

This short animation, MUTO, by artist BLU is just incredible. It was actually made by painting on walls in public spaces and then covering and repainting, like a billion times. Brilliant work.
[thanks derek.]
Have a look at this little sequence called Lost Generation. It’s a little sappy, but pretty good nonetheless.
[thanks jay.]
It is entirely possible that Pixar has done it again and made the best movie of all time. The latest trailer for Wall-E is absolutely incredible. I cannot wait for this beautiful robotic love story.

Jessica Delfino gives some great advice in this song about how to get famous. I think it is genius.
[thank jay for cheering me up.]
I love these minigames from Nitrome. Beautiful pixel art, fun interactivity, excellent time-wasters. If you have a few hours to waste (I do) go have a look.

This animated short from fortaxreasons made me laugh out loud. 3 Dungeons & Dragons nerds are cast as the 3 wise men in a nativity scene and all hell ensues. If you ever played D&D you’ll understand why this is great. If not, well, then I guess this might not be funny for you.

Back in April of 2005 I started actively looking for an animation I saw in college called Shadow Puppets. You can read about that experience in this old blog post. Long story short, after much digital detective-ry, I found the animator, Chuck Gamble, who personally delivered a VHS copy of the animation to me, […]
Where has the young, beautiful and talented Miss Lauryn Hill gone?
I didn’t write about it at the time, but a few months ago Lauryn Hill played here in Dubai and I had the unique pain of attending the concert. After several hours of delay due to throat illness or soreness or something, she came out […]
Sony’s latest Bravia TV ad, you know, from the Color Like No Other campaign, is stunning, as always. (Nothing will ever be quite as good as the Balls ad here, and here on YouTube.) In this one, hundreds of colorful claymation bunnies hop around Manhattan. Is this another contender for ad of the year? The […]
Here’s another brilliant animated short from Blur Studio called A Gentlemen’s Duel. You might remember the fanastic Rockfish I posted about ages ago. Trust me on this one. It starts off kind of shitty even though the animation is great, but then it takes a turn for the fantastic. Well work your downloading time.

Here’s a pretty great animated advertisement for Microsoft’s Zune (that’s a music player thing) called “Dogfight”. It was done by a company called FullTank. (Here’s interview with them about the Zune Arts Films.)
I wish it was an ad for a new game on XBox because I would buy it tomorrow. Nice work.
