Star Trek’s Night Crew

(NSFW) When Captain Picard and his men log out for the day, the Night Crew takes over. Sir Patrick Stewart and Chris Pine guest star in this groovy Robot Chicken skit. Commander La Freak: best name ever.

Why You Are Still Alive

Why You Are Still Alive

Our world is loaded with bacteria, viruses and other organisms. Fortunately, for most of us, our immune systems fend off these nasties. KurzGesagt boils down the complexities of our bodies’ self-defense system for us non-scientists.

Rude Goldberg Machine

Rude Goldberg Machine

Nope, that’s not a typo. Animator Yotam Perel aka Lazy Pillow took a corny pun and just rolled with it. Unlike real Rube Goldberg machines, the journey here isn’t as impressive as the destination.

Movie Car Battle Action

Movie Car Battle Action

It’s the stuff that childhood fantasies are made of in the latest stop-motion film from Counter656, as Optimus Prime takes on the Batmobile and the DeLorean from Back to the Future in an epic fight. Be sure to stick around for a surprise.

Hat_Dogs

Hat_Dogs

YouTuber STBlackST managed to cram a lot of jokes and inside references in this all too brief mashup of Watch_Dogs and Team Fortress 2. Both the Blu and the Red Spy should mind what they post online.

When You Broke My Heart

When You Broke My Heart

With an illustration style and soundtrack clearly inspired by video games, this animated short film follows the adventures of a Game Boy-obsessed king as he seeks to rekindle the love of his lost queen. We want to play the game of this now.

Duet

Duet

Animator Glen Keane is known for his work on Disney classics like Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. In this short film created for Google’s interactive Spotlight Stories, his fluid style proves the artist’s hand trumps CGI. More here.

Fingers Tale

Fingers Tale

This quirky animated short by Luca Schenato and Sinem Vardarli follows a group of severed toes as they head out on an adventure which culminates in a battle against the toe Yakuza (Toekuza?) and a deadly soda can. If it sounds weird, it is.

Kill Bill in 16-Bit

Kill Bill in 16-Bit

CineFix imagines what an SNES game based on Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 would look like. The result is a mix of Karateka and Bushido Blade, with a couple of mini games thrown in. We’ve corrected the title based on the graphics.

Bless You

Bless You

We love the street art-inspired style in David Barlow-Krelina’s animated short, which shows us what happens when you sneeze really, really, really, really hard. Dude, cover your face the next time you do that.

The Lord Inquisitor (Teaser)

The Lord Inquisitor (Teaser)

A teaser for The Lord Inquisitor, a fan film based on the Warhammer 40,000 franchise. Animator Erasmus Brosdau has been working on the film for about four years – and it looks like it. Check out the first trailer here.

Butts

Butts

(NSFW: Language) “Your ass is you.” Webcomic creator and animator Domics shows how much we – or at least anyone who speaks English – value our behinds. And he does it without mentioning Sir Mix-A-Lot.

A Good Man

A Good Man

StoryCorps shares the fortitude of Bryan Wilmouth. As a teenager, Bryan’s father kicked him out of the house for being gay. Despite being estranged, Bryan made sure to look out for his seven younger siblings as they grew older.

11 Paper Place

11 Paper Place

This wonderfully animated CGI short film by Daniel Haughton in which all of the characters and environments appear to have been made from pieces of plain white paper gives us a glimpse into life at the bottom of a recycling bin.

Quentin Tarantino’s Ghostbusters

The LEGO Movie: History Cops

The LEGO Movie: History Cops

Michelangelo and Abraham Lincoln star in History Cops. This puntastic animated short was made to promote the Blu-ray and DVD release of The LEGO Movie. “I release you from the shackles of freedom.” Yaaaay – what?

Future Batmen

Future Batmen

Some have questioned whether or not Ben Affleck can pull off playing Batman, but the franchise has a pretty long history of odd casting choices. Remember Val Kilmer? FoxADHD gazes into its crystal ball to find the bats of tomorrow.

Book of Mormon x South Park

Book of Mormon x South Park

Simon Chong perfectly combined the opening song Hello from Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s hilariously offensive Broadway hit with the animation style of South Park. A fan-made match made in heaven(s).

Team Fortress 2: Expiration Date

Team Fortress 2: Expiration Date

Not to be outdone by its fans, Valve shows us what it can do with Source Filmmaker. To celebrate the Love & War update for Team Fortress 2, Valve made this short film about love, teleporters and bread. (Thanks Josh!)

Realistic Mario: Mushrooms

Realistic Mario: Mushrooms

For their latest Realistic Mario clip, The Pete Holmes Show shows us exactly why it’s a bad idea to wander around and eat strange, colorful mushrooms off the ground. At least he didn’t eat any fire flowers – those are a really bad trip.

Fight!

Fight!
