Awesome Animation

A group of motorists become increasingly impatient – and monstrous – at each red light. Director and animator Nate Theis perfectly illustrates road rage in his award-winning animated short film. Turn the volume down.

The latest Fallout 4 short tackles one our most important traits, post-nuclear survivor or not. A high intelligence makes it easier to hack security, make weapons, navigate, heal and make experimental drugs.

Here’s a great holiday gift for kids and adults alike. Universal Pictures has finally released Don Bluth’s 1988 classic in Blu-ray at 1080p widescreen (1.85:1). Box of tissues not included. If we hold on together…

(PG-13: Language) The creators of Robot Chicken teamed up with Brian Cranston for this Crackle original. Cranston plays Titanium Rex, an aging superhero leading the apathetic and dense members of The League of Freedom. The first three episodes are already online.

How It Should Have Ended shows a more realistic beginning and ending to Ant-Man. The result is Hank Pym & His Keychain: a 30-minute movie that doesn’t include Ant-Man at all. Though if that’s how things play out then Hank shouldn’t have bothered to recruit Scott.

SUPINFOCOM students Valentin Watrigant, François Guery, Elsa Lamy, Aurelien Fernandez, and Louis Ventre created this inventive animated short as their graduation film. We love the late ’50s “space age” aesthetic that permeates the character and sound design.

Everyone seems to want more and more followers on their social media accounts these days, but this animated short looks at the dark underbelly of having your entire world on display. A surprisingly charming and thoughtful clip from the usually bonkers FoxADHD.

(SPOILERS) Halo: The Fall of Reach is an animated miniseries based on the eponymous novel about John-117’s origin. The miniseries is bundled with the Halo 5: Guardians limited edition, collector’s edition, digital deluxe edition and Xbox one bundle.

Screen Junkies continues its Disney bashing. Journey to Agrabah, the mystical Middle Eastern land filled with baguettes, nipple-less people and a lying thief who somehow gets a movie about a hilarious genie named after him.

Filmmaker Alexandre Dubosc loves to make animation using food. His latest work is a zoetrope formed out of a multiple-tiered cake. It shows a wacky cycle where corn kernels are turned into popcorn and back. Behind the scenes here.

(PG-13: Language) The year is 2331. Mankind has reduced Earth to a toxic wasteland devoid of other animals or any plant life. But a boy stumbles upon the discovery of a lifetime. Alvaro Garcia’s short has glaring plot holes, but it’s still fun to watch.

Disney’s animated movies can be grim and twisted, but Screen Rant reminds us that many Disney films are already toned-down versions of horrific original stories. Which makes you wonder if they were really written for children in the first place. Coming in 3015: Disney’s Saw.

(PG-13: Language) Animation Domination HD imagines the most brutal Mortal Kombat finisher: having someone go through your phone while you helplessly watch. A roundabout advisory about enabling a passcode or Touch ID.

Disney Pixar once again goes straight for the feels with The Good Dinosaur, which envisions a world in which the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs never hit Earth – and how dinos somehow created the English language way before mankind managed to do it.

An astronaut desperately goes after her partner. Based on a song by synthwave artist Anthony Scott Burns aka PilotPriest, the details and small movements in BRVTVS Collective‘s wonderfully animated short really make it come to life.

What could charm possibly do for you in a post-nuclear world? Turns out, a lot. In Fallout 4, having a high Charisma stat will make it easier for you to barter, befriend wild creatures, coerce others and more.

Who’s Bats’ greatest enemy? The Joker? Jason Todd? Himself? Dorkly imagines a much simpler answer that exposes Bruce for the insane and spoiled brat that he is. The funniest thing about this is that Neil Gaiman already made this joke.

Animator Ning Cheng’s half-minute-long film is ridiculously simple, but packs a hilarious and unexpected punchline that’s sure to make you giggle, and reminds us that not everything is what it seems on the surface.

While looking at the safety information briefing card on an airplane, animator Paolo Čerić decided that the images “had a dance vibe,” so he decided to do something about it. If flight attendants presented this information this way, we might actually pay attention.
