Might there be a touch of romance in the cards for Barbie as we meet the sophisticated Ken in the new trailer for Toy Story 3, due out in June? We think the blue leopard print shirt is a dealmaker.

Snowball Studios’ Round 6 is actually two stories in one: it’s a trailer for a video game called Fragball (think gladiator football meets Army of Two) which was invented for the sci-fi short film.

Teaser: Legend of the Guardians

Teaser: Legend of the Guardians

We normally wouldn’t give a hoot about CG-animated owls if it weren’t for Legend of the Guardians’ epic pedigree; in theaters 9/24/10, it’s directed by Zack Snyder of 300 fame.

Music Video: Madder Mortem

NSFW: It’s no secret we live in a world saturated by brands, but Logorama takes this to its logo-gical extremes; the animated short film won Kodak’s Discovery Prize at Cannes.

Short Film: Pivot

Short Film: Pivot

Netherland-based il Luster’s Pivot is an unusual short film that does an about-face from more complex animations; it instead opts for a minimalist (yet stunning) low poly-count style.

Left 4 Dead fans, eat your hearts (and brains) out: A.D. is a CG animated zombie flick with a jaw-dropping, bad-ass style we can’t get enough of; it’s directed by Ben Hibon of Codehunters fame.
