Your Favorite Animated Short
One of my favorite things to do is to watch animated shorts. Here is my most recent find that I quite enjoy.

*whispers The above video doesn't show; perhaps removing the [IMG] tags will allow it to work properly.
And I love the topic. I'm off to search the repositories for some of those I enjoyed very much. ---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ---------- this is the first one I thought of, and I'm not sure where, if at all, I have shared this before. Things That go Bump in the Night http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/1...howreel455.jpg From 3D World. One of the highlights of Siggraph was this beautifully animated two-minute gem, beginning in the cutesy territory of Pixar but ending up somewhere very different Commentary click to show Click here to download the short [~12MB] (Requires DivX codec) |
Sebastian's Voodoo is wonderful..think it was in my blog a while back. Thanks for bringing it back up.
This one isn't really "animated" in the traditional sense, but since there is quite a bit of digital animation and effect work, I'm putting it here..although I don't know if 9 minutes constitutes a short either. fuck it, it's worth putting here. |
....brilliant, guccilvr
(...and gerber daisies are my favorite) |
This is a really great thread idea, Magpie! The short you showed is incredible.
I don't think this really counts as an animated short, per se, but it's the first thing that came to my mind when I read the OP... |

Ryan Larkin
I think I saw this on an obscure television channel on some forgotten night however long ago when I couldn't quite fall sleep.
2005 OSCARS for Best Short Animation Ryan is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In the film, we hear the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless people who make up Ryan's life. These voices speak through strange, twisted, and disembodied, computer-generated characters--which combine to reflect the film's creator, Chris Landreth. In the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are." Story's Description & Credits click to show |

...i'm speechless, jetee....such creative poignancy
...thank you to magpie and all of the posters in this thread for opening my eyes to creative and compelling animation like i have never seen before. |

I'm a huge fan of this one:
Almost forgot about this one: |
wtf? I can't believe I forgot about 9.
it's being developed into a major motion picture. |
I got so much mileage out of this as a kid. They often played this to fill in time between shows. A good, solid Canadian animated short. A classic.
Prepare to laugh. The Big Snit by Richard Condie, - NFB |
Regarding Sebastian's Voodoo, it seems this short was the most recent grand winner of the Aniboom Awards, NFB winning honors, as well as receiving many other awards and accolades. The tension built up by the score in direct accompaniment to the story is what is really chilling about the entire scenario. Masterful.
The musical shorts of "le Café" and "Slaughter Your World" were hilariously disturbing. The head-bobbing and fireball-flinging were priceless. "Fifty-Percent Grey" along with "The Big Snit" were different in many ways, though they both find themself dealing with the prospect of life after death and how we deal with the (sur)reality of it. It is amazing how many of the shorts we have collectively submitted have a recurring, disquieting theme that have the aspects of irking some and provoking inspiration in others. It taps into our deeper emotions in a significantly shorter span of time. It kicks ass. -------------------------------------------- Ranking Pixar's Best Animated Shorts - Associated Content By Lee Andrew Henderson When people think about Pixar they immediately think of Pixar's feature films like Toy Story, the Incredibles and Finding Nemo. But Pixar actually found their first success in animated shorts, not feature films. Pixar has recently released all their short films on one DVD. After getting my hands on a copy I revisited these animated shorts and decided I would rank the Pixar animated shorts from worst to first. Playlist Description click to show My personal commentary: Of the thirteen or so shorts above, I have only seen about half of them before today. It was very jarring to see better graphics displayed by Pixar in 1986 than I had seen elsewhere in 1999. Also, my favorites of the bunch were "Boundin'", "For the Birds", "Geri's Game", "One Man Band", & "Knick Knack". Here's hoping you come away from the compilation with at least one more favorite than you did before watching. |
I stumbled across a few shorts created by the Ringling School of Art and Design on YouTube...
A couple interesting ones I found: |
|
|
Regarding the first video: if I was that voodoo doll, I would have stabbed myself in the crotch. As an animated doll, I wouldn't have anything to loose, but the man would be quite thoroughly distracted!

I came here to post Kiwi, but someone best me to it.
So, I'll just say: watch it! |
Yellow Sticky Notes created & directed by Jeff Chiba Stearns / Musical Score by Genevieve Vincent After realizing that yellow sticky notes, filled with "To Do" lists, were consuming his life, director Jeff Chiba Stearns decided to visually self-reflect on his own filmmaking journey by animating 2,300 of those same sticky notes. Blending hand-drawn images and text with an original musical score by Genevieve Vincent, this "animation meditation" played in the official competition at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. |
I've noticed an interesting coincidence about the shorts I have watched in the past few years: most of them hail from the Great White North (Canadia, or at least they're endorsed in part by the NationalFilmBoard there); and something I noticed just two weeks ago, about half of the ones I've posted in this thread can also be found here: YouTube - ytscreeningroom's Channel
Like this one: A film by Torill Kove Narrated by Liv Ullmann WINNER OF THE 2007 OSCAR® FOR BEST SHORT SUBJECTS ANIMATION Can we trace the chain of events that leads to our own birth? Is our existence just coincidence? Do little things matter? The narrator of The Danish Poet considers these questions as we follow Kasper, a poet whose creative well has run dry, on a holiday to Norway to meet the famous writer, Sigrid Undset. As Kasper's quest for inspiration unfolds, it appears that a spell of bad weather, an angry dog, slippery barn planks, a careless postman, hungry goats and other seemingly unrelated factors might play important roles in the big scheme of things after all. |
Gosh, this takes me back to the good ole days of Tech TV when that show Eyedrops was on the air. Nothin' but animated shorts (I think all CG, but I could be wrong about that). It was only a few years ago, but it seems like forever.
I love Harry Partridge's stuff, and this is just a taste of his great work: EDIT: I found what I originally wanted to put, the work of Don Hertzfeldt. One of my favorites and the one that got him an Oscar nom: |

Don Hertzfeldt's second short film. "Genre" (1996)
Quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Genre created & directed by Don Hertzfeldt musical score by Dave LaDelfa http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...GenreBunny.jpg Genre is a 1996 Live-action/animated short film by animator Don Hertzfeldt, his second student film, preceded by Ah, L'Amour (1995). The 16mm short combines traditional animation, pixilation, and stop-motion animation to present a cartoon rabbit careening through a variety of rapidly changing film genres as his animator struggles to come up with a good idea. The short is Hertzfeldt's least favorite of his work, but it nevertheless was an animation festival hit that went on to receive 17 awards. The plot centers around hand drawn rabbit, being told what to do by the animator. (similar to Duck Amuck.) The rabbit's activities depend on what genre appears on the screen. (Example, for "horror movie", the rabbit is stabbed repeatedly by a second rabbit.) Occasionally, the animators hand will appear on the screen (Example, at the start, the rabbit is trying to run away from the movie, only to be pulled back by the animators hand.) |
This one is animated graffiti. BLU paints every single frame. It's the most amazing piece of street art that has ever existed. |
Even though it was featured on a mish-mash of cartoons/animations, I used to love these shorts (and they were far and away the best part of the show).
Prometheus and Bob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Prometheus and Bob was a series of animated shorts that originally aired on animation-anthology series KaBlam!, on the American cable television network Nickelodeon. The complete series has a total of 40 episodes, each one 2 minutes length. The shorts were a claymation/stop motion segment featuring the camera-recorded mission logs of Prometheus, an alien who comes to Earth attempting to teach a caveman, Bob, everyday life things to improve his primal life. The result is usually a failure by the mischievous actions of an annoying monkey. Prometheus's Pedagogy Playlist (Unfinished): I think the above playlist has around 32 2-min. episodes, although the series of shorts ran exactly 40 of them. I'll try to find a more complete list, and I may replace the one above once I find it. |
Revisionist's doctrine
SPRING HEELED JACK created & directed by Geof Wolfenden The film is a UK Film Council Digital Short. (2006) Prologue: Based on a 19th century urban myth, "Spring Heeled Jack" tells the tale of a mischevious little goblin who jumps from roof to roof, looking to steal the voices of naughty boys and girls. Spring Heeled Jack is a character from English folklore said to have existed during the Victorian era and able to jump extraordinarily high. The first claimed sighting of Spring Heeled Jack that is known occurred in 1837. Later alleged sightings were reported all over England, from London up to Sheffield and Liverpool, but they were especially prevalent in suburban London and later in the Midlands and Scotland. Many theories have been proposed to ascertain the nature and identity of Spring Heeled Jack. The urban legend of Spring Heeled Jack gained immense popularity in its time due to the tales of his bizarre appearance and ability to make extraordinary leaps, to the point where he became the topic of several works of fiction. Spring Heeled Jack was described by people claiming to have seen him as having a terrifying and frightful appearance, with diabolical physiognomy that included clawed hands and eyes that "resembled red balls of fire". One report claimed that, beneath a black cloak, he wore a helmet and a tight-fitting white garment like an "oilskin". Many stories also mention a "Devil-like" aspect. Spring Heeled Jack was said to be tall and thin, with the appearance of a gentleman, and capable of making great leaps. Several reports mention that he could breathe out blue and white flames and that he wore sharp metallic claws at his fingertips. At least two people claimed that he was able to speak comprehensible English. |
Well, instead of finding a new short, I went back to fix the Pixar shorts that had vanished within my original playlist, so hopefully now, they show patently and without fail.
Here is the link. "Knick-Knacks" is still my favorite among the bunch. |
I always enjoy the shorts before the Pixar movies. Most of them are really hilarious.

I loved the genre film.

Trnka's "Ruka" (The Hand , La main , Die Hand)
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/found-n...iri-trnka.html
Quote:
Jiří Trnka (1912-1969) was a Czech puppet maker, illustrator, motion-picture animator and film director, renowned for his stop motion puppet animations. He graduated from the Prague School of Arts and Crafts. He created a puppet theater in 1936. This group was dissolved when World War II began, and he instead designed stage sets and illustrated books for children throughout the war. After the end of the war, Trnka established an animation unit at the Prague film studio. Trnka soon became internationally recognized as the world's greatest puppet animator in the traditional Czech method, and he won several film festival awards. One animator called him "the Walt Disney of the East". He won an award at the Cannes Festival in 1946, just one year after he began working in film. His films were mostly made for an adult audience. Beginning in 1948, the communist Czech government began to subsidize his work, although this did not seem to affect the message or style of his work. He also created animated cartoons. He wrote the scripts for most of his own films. In 1968, he won Hans Christian Andersen Award, the most distinguished prize in children's literature. Summary of the short film: click to show |

Year of the Rat directed by Monkmus music by Badly Drawn Boy released in June of 2004 (UK) ; October 5, 2004 (US) distributed by XL Recordings author's comments: (Damon Gough) "It’s still about relationships but not so much about just me and Claire this time, it’s about wider friendships. I’m asking people not to wish their lives away. But most of the time, through the songs, I’m telling myself these things. I can be quite a dark person, a born worrier, and I think that sometimes these songs are a message to myself to see the brighter side. The last album was thematic too but born mostly out of the frustrations of being away from home. For this record I was at home and now it seems I’m looking out at the world from there." |
