The Idiotic Adventures of Philippe and Pierre

This is part of a series of cartoons about a body trying to re-attach its severed head. They are very funny and somehow manage to make a headless body cute and lovable.

A Short Love Story in Stop Motion

It's not done yet, but Carlos Lascano's new animation looks really good. It seems to be about a girl who daydreams about falling in love with a boy in her classroom. It uses a lovely mix of techniques.

Clone Wars Trailer

The titles of the six worst movies in film history all have 'Star Wars' in them. They are just fantastically bad movies with the worst acting I have ever seen in my entire life (and, yes, that includes Sir Alec Guinness). But now I see that they should have been animations all along! This trailer looks amazing and probably contains more convincing characters than all of the films combined. I can't wait to see this movie.

The Street Magician: Student Animation

Andrew Ferguson, a student at Sheridan College made this beautiful, funny cartoon. It has an old-fashioned style that really works, excellent background drawings, and its movement is fun to watch.
