A wonderful, technically impressive short film with a great soundtrack that I enjoyed more than any of the Oscar-nominated shorts from this year, including Oscar-winner Logorama. Keep an eye on this Ian Worrel kid.

From Motionographer.

You’ve seen Logorama, last night’s winner of the Oscar in this category… now here are the rest of the Oscar nominees for Animated Short Film (w/the exception of  Wallace and Gromit). Engaging and fun and all under 8 minutes, they’re worth it for the animation alone. Stolen from idsgn.

The Lady and the Reaper

Sleeping Beauty

French Roast

An award-winning short film that channels a darker Pixar. Oh, and it’s done by students.

Excellent creative work from the aptly named agency Rethink, Canada (the “rethink” part, not the Canada part… though I have nothing against Canadians. I love Barenaked Ladies, and the band is alright too).

This is fun! A disembodied wiener roams the bathroom looking for some, err, companionship. But the floating vajayjay’s will have none of it. It doesn’t make sense, but it doesn’t have to because it’s Russian and it’s a PSA. NSFW (which is ironic, since as I write this, I’m at work).

Do you remember the intro video for the UAF hockey team? The incredibly cheesy (albeit, incredibly awesome) video depicted a world-killing, bloodthirsty polar bear who loves hockey and jamming to hard rock. Well ladies and gents, that bear is back and his bloodthirst has yet to be quenched. If you don’t remember the old video, I’ll humor your immense levels of lamosity by reposting it below. Scoop from Tyler Vasa.

Pixar never ceases to amaze! Enjoy another wonderful Pixar short film. This one marks the directorial debut of their storyboard artist and animator Peter Sohn (who also provided the voice of Emile in Ratatouille - you know, the fat mouse).

Holy crap, I didn’t expect that. NSFW (for “cartoon” violence).

This is taken from a Japanese anime called Kemonozume , which is described in Wikipedia under the genre of Horror, Erotica, Comedy, and Romance. That goes together perfectly… like ice cream and steak.

Absolutely incredible opening intro for The Beatles: Rock Band. It even tops the intro for the first Rock Band, which was pretty great in its own right. Watch it here or I highly recommend watching it in high def glory on the official website. 9.9.09, folks. 9.9.09.
