Animated Inspiration: the Red and the Blue - the Water Tap

To commemorate my stop-motion animation weekend in Toronto, here's the Red and the Blue episode from Misseri Studios that I mentioned last week. It's stop-motion animation done with clay. Lots of funny morphs and transformations!

Animated Inspiration: Simon's Cat 'Hot Spot'

Well, for Tuesday's animation, since I'll be at a stop-motion animation workshop this weekend, I was going to show a Red & Blue clay animation from Misseri Studios. But instead, to celebrate the release of the first "Simon's Cat" book, here's the latest short from British animator Simon Tofield: Hot Spot.

Animated Inspiration: Caua

As it's Tuesday, I've got two animation DVD notices: 1. the latest Wallace and Gromit film "A Matter of Loaf and Death" has been released. 2. "The Battle for Terra" is also out on DVD. If you missed this one in the theatre, you owe it to yourself to watch this independant animated feature film! Oh, and here's a cute short from Brazil for all of you environmentally-conscious swimmers who recycle. :)
