Here's an animated short by David Chai that was part of the Sundance Film Festival. It looks like the best one to me. It's called 'Fumi and the Bad Luck Foot.'
It's a charming, funny story, with excellent drawing.

Dreamworks has a fun behind-the-scenes clip in QuickTime format about 'Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.'
It's not long, but it has shots of the miniature sets and plasticine figures used to make the movie. It's fun to pause the film and look at the clutter of cool stuff the Aardman animators use.

There's a French school of animation called Gobelins and the students there produce some extraordinary animations. These animators consistently create films that get worldwide attention and play at the Annecy festival.
This one's called 'Le Piment.'

'Les Ailes du Papillon' is a French animation by 24-year-old artist, Benjamin Gibeaux. I first learned of the film by seeing it posted as Cartoon Brew Film of the Week over at the excellent animation blog, 'Cartoon Brew.'The film is quiet and powerful, with excellent ink-drawn animation. The film has a depth of meaning that is unusual but very welcome.
