Hot off the frickin’ press: The Zack Snyder directed film (Watchmen, 300) that made waves at Comic-Con. Described as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns,” do you really need any more reason to buy a ticket?

Skateboarders add to their general reputation as ruffians and delinquents by destroying a city and turning it into a skatepark. What a bunch of jerks. By Cutwater.

HP kills a tree and dumps a 100 gallons of ink in their new viral effort. The sequel to the original HP video created by talented duo Tom Wrigglesworth and Matt Robinson, the new one is officially commissioned by HP this time. I have to agree with the commenters on Creative Review; the new one reeks of corporate influence and lacks the magic of the original.

Got a whole 10 minutes? Watch this. Don’t complain! The history of the world takes some time.

Blu is known for their fantastic wall painting animations and this is their latest, most ambitious effort yet.  Submitted by Nate C.

A simple heartwarming story about a boy and his AT-AT. Must be one of them newfangled genetically engineered breeds.

Skip Detergent tries to tell two stories with the same animation in this illusory spot. I applaud the creative approach, but both stories end up being fractured and difficult to clearly follow.

Odd pop culture pairings (Tetris blocks versus Contra, anyone? Worms versus Darkwing Duck?) abound in these awesome animated shorts for Russia’s Hrusteam Snacks. They’re clever, punchy and all about pure, unadulterated fun. Talented production house Red Medusa produced over 40 of these bad boys, and I have to say, they are a wonderful way to kill a paid afternoon at work.

Next time you clap, be appreciative of the black blobs who gave up their hands for your right to do so.  A beatbangin’ video by Benga that like Pringles, doesn’t stop once it pops. From Motionographer.

Goodby Silverstein & Partners craft a domino timeline of firsts in this commercial for the first ever “4G” phone. They’re gonna need to have a new naming system for improved wireless networking technology; I refuse to buy a 12G phone.

The Sapporo brewing process is revealed through this amazing spot by agency Dentsu, Canada. If it looks familiar, the spot was created as a collaboration between production houses Crush, Sons and Daughters, and Marco Brambilla, the man responsible for the incredible Civilization video for Standard Hotel in NYC.
