I’ve Fallen, and I Can’t Get up!

I’ve Fallen, and I Can’t Get up!

Watch out YouTube, Vimeo has stupid videos as well. Visual effects artist Dave Fothergill made this funny clip while testing the Miarmy crowd simulation plugin for the 3D animation software Maya. How can we turn this into a game?

Disney’s Feast (Teaser)

Disney’s Feast (Teaser)

An animated short film that will be shown in theaters alongside Big Hero 6. It’s about a dog that has such poor eating habits that he eventually turns into Baymax. Then he goes vegan. At least that’s what we think it’s about.

Performer Roy Kafri’s quirky beatbox track Mayokero is handily upstaged by director Vania Heymann’s clever music video, in which classic vinyl album covers come to life and sing his track.

A young man heads off to school without eating his breakfast. What’s a mother to do? Simple. Hunt him down ninja style and force him to eat whether he likes it or not. An amusing animated short by a team of talented French artists.

The Empire Strikes Back Uncut

The Empire Strikes Back Uncut

Like Star Wars Uncut, hundreds of fans created their own scenes from The Empire Strikes Back for them to be edited into a complete scene-for-scene remake of the original. A hilarious and charming mix of animation and live-action schtick.

Big Hero 6 (Trailer 3)

Big Hero 6 (Trailer 3)

See more of San Fransokyo and Hiro’s friends, their armored suits and abilities. We’re a bit disappointed that the comic book versions of the characters were so… Disneyfied, but hopefully the movie is still a blast.

Cyanide & Happiness: Fish

Cyanide & Happiness: Fish

In the end, it’s a ridiculously simple premise, but C&H’s latest clip will make you laugh regardless, as one dude shows off his new aquarium to another – with an amusing turn of events.

The RED and BLU Scouts compete in a marathon sponsored by Saxton Hale himself. Rivalry Rush won the Action category in the 2014 Saxxy Awards. Top notch animation and voice acting. Steam should have a Source Filmmaker channel.
