Animated Inspiration: Honda - Squirrels Love It
Maybe it's because I like squirrels...and 3d animation...and the crystalline look of this animation...but this was my favorite commercial from the Super Bowl this year--even if the point it was making was a little obtuse until they spelled it out at the end. :) Watch this animation then watch "the House of Cats" animation to reflect on how these two studios handled a similar style in their character designs. The important thing to note is how smooth the motion is in both animations--the character design is awesome, but it's the motion of the characters that really sells the personality of the character.
