Awesome Animation

Nuggets

Nuggets

“Kiwi tastes a golden nugget. It’s delicious.” German animation studio Film Bilder’s animated short film is a straightforward depiction of addiction. Although we must say we’d really like to try that nugget. Just once.

4K Sun Time-lapse

4K Sun Time-lapse

JamesTyrwhitt-Drake – who made the color-enhanced time-lapse of Earth – made this 4K animation of the Sun from over 17,000 images taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The sound is based on the sun’s magnetic activity.

Trainspotting in 60 Seconds

Trainspotting in 60 Seconds

(NSFW: Language) 1A4STUDIO does their best to sum up the plot of Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting in about a minute. They got it mostly right – except this time we can understand what the characters are saying without subtitles.

LEGO Batman vs. Superman

LEGO Batman vs. Superman

The Dark Knight from the LEGO movies challenges the Man of Steel to a battle. For some reason. Superman doesn’t get it either and refuses to fight, but Bats is determined to throw everything but the Bat Kitchen Sink at him.

How GotG Should’ve Ended

How GotG Should’ve Ended

How It Should Have Ended points out the many ways that Guardians of the Galaxy could have turned out differently, from that unchecked slave in The Collector’s office to Ronan not being duped by Star Lord’s silly gambit.

Peanuts (Trailer)

Peanuts (Trailer)

It’s rare that we’re excited about a CGI remake of a hand-drawn cartoon (think Garfield), but Blue Sky seems to have gotten the style just right in their upcoming reboot of Charles Schulz’ classic. Too bad we have to wait until November 2015.

A Kiss from Tokyo

A Kiss from Tokyo

This animated promo for Yuki 7 and the Gadget Girls directed by Kevin Dart and Stephane Coedel video pays tribute to 1960s spy flicks in the best possible way, perfectly capturing the style, sound and spirit of the era. Another great clip here.

The Sea The Sea: Waiting

The Sea The Sea: Waiting

Folk duo The Sea The Sea’s intimate track Waiting is perfectly accompanied by this amazing music video by Zachary Johnson, who animated 3,454 individual oil paintings to create an evocative view of NYC by night.

Living with Death

Living with Death

Blank on Blank provides an animated illustration of Jennifer Van Evra’s 2002 interview with The Flaming Lips leader Wayne Coyne, in which he shares a near-death experience he had as a teen which changed his everyday perspective on life.

Curious George of the Apes

Curious George of the Apes

Animation Domination HD presents a modern retelling of a children’s classic, about a chimpanzee who was forced to obey The Man with The Yellow Hat. Will he find it in him to say, “NOOOOOOOUHHH”

Tame Impala x Dumbo

Tame Impala x Dumbo

YouTuber Mackem Wizza took the trippy dream sequence from Disney’s Dumbo and overdubbed Tame Impala’s hit track Elephant. The result is impressively well synchronized. It also works brilliantly with Ratatat’s Seventeen Years.

asdfmovie 1-8

asdfmovie 1-8

TomSka’s hilariously offbeat asdfmovie series has been one of our favorites for years. Now you can enjoy all eight episodes he’s created to date in a single 14-minute mega-cut that will have you in stitches – or scratching your head – by the end.

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void

“My life for Aiur.” Hierarch Artanis and the volatile Protoss alliance prepare to take back their home world from the Zerg. StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void also adds new units, updates to old ones as well as three new multiplayer modes.

Overwatch (Trailer)

Overwatch (Trailer)

The cinematic trailer for Blizzard’s upcoming team-based first-person shooter Overwatch. It’s worth watching even if you’re not planning on playing the game, as it’s a short film on its own. What we want to know is, will there be hats?

SAUSAGE

SAUSAGE

Robert Grieves‘ whimsical, award-winning animated short follows the misadventures of two mom-and-pop street vendors and the stunts they must pull to compete with the evil, mustachioed vendor who tries to move in on their territory.

Aug(de)mented Reality 2

Aug(de)mented Reality 2

Hombre_McSteez returns with the first sequel to his lo-fi animated Aug(de)mented Reality series, in which goofy hand-drawn characters wreak havoc on the real world. Noodle party!

Minions (Trailer)

Minions (Trailer)

The real stars of the Despicable Me franchise get their own feature film – a prequel in which they head off on a quest to find a new master after accidentally doing in many of their earlier evil overlords.

Mean Teddies

Mean Teddies

“The spirit of the bears has always been tied to the human cubs. It is our duty to protect them.” Tyler Novo’s work seems more of a teaser than a complete film, but the concept and score make up for it. In other words Tyler, we want more.

Halo 2: Anniversary (Trailer)

Halo 2: Anniversary (Trailer)

The launch trailer for the 10th anniversary edition of Halo 2 gives us a peek at the sweet new cinematics for the game, courtesy of Blur Studios. Halo 2: Anniversary is part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One.

HISHE: Avengers AoU Trailer

HISHE: Avengers AoU Trailer

HAKUNA MATATA. Not content with poking fun at released movies, How It Should’ve Ended takes on the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, wishing that the titular villain didn’t stop at quoting only Pinocchio.

Life as a Skeleton

Life as a Skeleton

Artist collective Gentleman Scholar celebrates Halloween by making this silly animated short called The Trials and Tribulations of Being a Skeleton. We bet he’d be mad rich by being a horror – or comedy – star.

StickBoy Animation Montage

StickBoy Animation Montage

GiantAnt’s extraordinary animation serves as a backdrop for StickBoy, a multimedia performance currently being staged by the Vancouver Opera. Shane Koyczan’s spoken word about bullying is equally as moving as the visuals.

The Last Crusade in 60 Seconds

The Last Crusade in 60 Seconds

1A4STUDIO takes us on another breakneck run – this time through Indiana Jones’ third adventure. Though to be honest, about the only thing we remember about this film is the motorcycle chase anyhow. And Sean Connery’s dapper bowtie.
