Partly Cloudy by Pixar

Partly Cloudy from Pixar from xandru88 on Vimeo.

Probably the best animation I've seen all year. This one is remarkably cute and cuddly and sometimes that's what hits the spot.

Heart - Laurent Clermont

Technically speaking it must have been difficult to sync the shaky camera movements up with the 3D figure. Cute.

The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

I saw this a while ago and then a friend sent it to me as sort of a thanksgiving victorian steampunk surprise, and so I give it to you.

House

I'm really diggin on the music in this one. I also am into these types of old animations for kids (its sooooo vintaaaagggggeee, J/K). But seriously, it takes a lot of effort for the handmade and low tech, and again the music is what just hits home for me in a somewhat proxified way. House by Carmen D'Avino.

Jookabox - You Cried Me.

Jookabox came through my town a couple months ago, it was fun. And my roommate DM Stith did the album cover design on their new album, Dead Zone Boys.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Being a half white person, I get excited about white people things. (i.e. moleskin notebooks, taking a year off, hummus, unpaid internships, sweaters, the wire, graduate school, study abroad, mos def, knowing what's best for poor people, japan, art degrees, and of course, Wes Anderson Movies) So when I was doing one white people activity, (watching the previews before "where the wild things are") a movie preview showed and it was the Fantastic Mr. Fox. I saw the cast list but they didn't mention who was directing it, so I turned to my white girl date (something that both sides like) and I said I bet you that's a Wes Anderson movie. Now any self-respecting white person would be able to take one quick look at the cast list and say, yeah that's probably a Wes Anderson flick, but I've got a steep white person handicap and not all of us get the same tiger woods blend of say, being a phenomenal athlete in a white man's game. So I had to do some interdependent shaking from both the salt and the pepper. I had to read between the lines of the sunday paper, alright? I had to eat the oreo without splitting the halves. (Maybe I've taken it too far.) My point is, I had to use my soul to feel it out. The same detector that knew on the inside that Soul Food, This Christmas and anything Madea, was a "feel good", had to work together with the logic of a full blood Vulcan. The interesting thing about the Fantastic Mr. Fox is that from the previews, it feels like a Wes Anderson movie even though its in a different medium. Here is some concept art by Chris Appelhans

So, not an animation, but I am not prepared to completely limit myself to only cartoons, I'm not a kid anymore you know.
