Dr Breakfast!

Dr Breakfast from pizzaforeveryone on Vimeo.

Funny and surreal. When a man's soul goes on vacation, two deer take care of his catatonic body at home.

Quimby The Mouse

A strange little animation about a mouse and his, um, bride.

"Road Runner" Cartoon: Fur of Flying

One of the new 3d CGI Road Runner shorts which I had not seen. Come on Warner Bros., these should be bundles with all your movies. (Unfortunately there are adds before and after, but nothing in life is free.)

The Big Snit

1985 classic by the man who gave us "The Cat Came Back"

Mickey Mouse-Haunted House (1929)

From back when Mickey Mouse cartoons were good. Before cute became more important than funny.

"Heavenly Appeals" a short film by David Lisbe

After many millennia of being tortured in Hell, Raymond K. Hessle has finally earned a chance to appeal his sentence of Eternal Damnation. Upon arriving at the "appeals" gate of Heaven he is greeted by the angel who will preside over his case. As Raymond waits at the edge of paradise, he will finally have a chance to prove just how worthy he is.

Oktapodi

This won a 2009 Oscar for Animated Short Film. Fun.

The Beatles : Rock Band Animated Trailer

(Yes, I know it's been out for years.)  This particular animated trailer is as exciting as any animated short I've seen in a while, so I thought I'd revisit it. See a short "making of" video below.

Beware The Gawper!

Video by "A Large Evil Corporation"

Superman Classic

A Disney artist, Robb Pratt, made this short fan-film in his spare time. Decidedly more American looking than the anime inspired stuff being produced today. It feels like the old Fleischer cartoons, and yet very modern at the same time. I would pay to see a series with this look. Compare it the original from 1941.

Mysterious Mose

Share this Halloween puppet video with the kids! This is a real favorite of mine! Made in the 90's, it feels like an old Fleischer cartoon, back when they were at their 1930's their best. The band in particular is great. Made by Seamus Walsh and Mark Caballero.

Istanbul Not Constantinople

Get More: MTV Shows

A classic by "They Might Be Giants".

Big Buck Bunny

Can you crowd source an animated short and have it be consistent, professional looking, and funny?

How about the software it's created with? The answer to both is yes! "Big Buck Bunny" was created with "Blender" a freeware application.

Don't Download This Song!

Weird Al Yankovic music video animated by the great Bill Plympton. Two great artists.

Pigeon: Impossible

A curious pigeon gets trapped inside his multi-million dollar, government-issued nuclear briefcase. Walter Beckett, rookie secret agent must figure out what to do. The music may have a lot to do with it, but this one seems self-consciously influenced by the Incredibles.

John K. Couch Gag.

Seen last night....John Kricfalusi, of "Ren and Stimpy" fame created this opening for the Simpson's in his extreme style. John K. believes in funny drawings and rarely sticks to a model sheet, if it gets in the way of being funny. He has influenced an entire generation of animators, and many of the best modern cartoons feature a very watered down reflection of his style. 

Meet Buck

Bad enough when your girlfriend's Daddy has a gun. Worse still when he's a game hunter, and you're the game. I really like the inventive style of this short. It's 3d, but every frame looks like a painting.

The Cat Came Back

If you have kids, make sure they see this cartoon at least once. A classic animated short by Cordell Barker.  And yes, the song will probably be stuck in your head for days! Richard Conde's "Mr Johnson" vocalizations remind me of Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean."

Jean-Luc

An funny animated cartoon short, using John Kricfalusi-like extremes. Probably NSFW, but just barely.
