i never make personal posts here anymore since i have a proper blog elsewhere and none of you need to know about my life anyway

HOWEVER

AIM FOR THE EYES, SAM!
BLIND HIM!

Harpya
an odd and rather creepy short film about a harpy that shirt-turtle showed to wps, who showed it to me, who showed it to his second cousin twice-removed

.

Sebastians Voodoo by Joaquin Baldwin

.
/* */
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

.

theres some neat kinetic sculptures out there. i usually dont post too many as they are so off the path that i'd call animation. some are like puppetry, and others are just weird.

however this one is really neat

scarecrow

Great Cartoons - Edition 42


Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - February 7th, 2009


HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

first off, go see Coraline
it is adorable and disturbing and full of great music as well

ANYWAYZ

first things first.
in my last couple of posts I posted some commercials for various refreshments. Those being KIA-ORA and WEETABIX ads from the 80's.

As it turns out, there were TWO MORE kia-ora commercials and like 10 weetabix ads.

And they are all fun to watch.

First the next two Kia Ora ads
first this one done in the same style as the original

.
/* */
and the second one
done in a very different art style
STILL TOO ORANGEY FOR CROWS
YA HEAR THAT CROWS? FUCK YOU

.
/* */
I dont know whats more pathetic. A crow that is starved for a fruity drink that has to break the law in order to get it, or a white rabbit trying to get trix only to have its ass beat upon by small horrid children.

And now

more Weetabix. I'd post them all, but then this blog post would freeze too many browsers.
Its interesting to note how much better the animation in these commercials get as time goes on.
the last two look like disney or don bluth made them

THEY'LL FILL YA UP TO HEAH

.
/* */
join the weetabix in a parody of Indiana Jones

.
/* */
join the weetabix as they witness the pitiful death of a dinosaur after traveling back in time, and dont do one damn thing to help it. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE TOUGH GUYS THATS WHY

.
/* */
and finally here is a weetabix commercial that seems to be 1-part Heavy Metal, 1-part Dungeons and Dragons, and 1-part Rock n Rule
who wouldnt want a breakfast that SHOOTS MAGIC and defeats giant horrifying black blobs of demonic power?

.
/* */
right O

so thats all the sequels to the last two posts
so here's stuff that is unrelated but still cool:

my friend Psi43 showed me this
it is rather cute
a cgi music video about a girl and her giant pet frog toad thing

.
/* */
And this old Death Cab for Cutie music video I forgot existed for Crooked Teeth
it involves cardboard
and puppets
and explosions

.
/* */
And I wasnt even aware Moby ever had any other music videos other than the one with Christina Ricci for his Natural Blues song
so I was most amused to find this one which looks like a doodle someone made while bored brought to life via animation

.
/* */
And this is the neatest thing I've seen lately
this animated music video has vomiting bees, crows with tank treads, and other weird shit I cannot describe

.
/* */
yup

Great Cartoons - Dimension X Version 5.5 subsection Q

WE WANNA BE
UNF UNF
SMITH'S CRISPS!

.
/* */
Weetabix advert from the 80's

.
/* */
and the grand sequel to the above ad
now with more loud harsh voicework

.
/* */
Smokey the Monkey
the tale of an ape and a cigarette

.
/* */
Venetian Snares - Szamár Madár
now with loud sounds inserted into the middle

.

/* */
Fraggle Rock
man I miss seein muppet stuff

.
/* */
I AM THE CHEESE
I AM BETTER THAN THE SALAMI

.
/* */
and to end this post, one of the first times CGI 3d animation and 2d animation was combined
also a rather scary scene that seemed to freak out alot of people as kids mainly due to Rattigan, the awesome vincent price, going ballistic during this scene

Great Cartoons!!!!! - UNF UNF EDITION


Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - January 21st, 2009


first a couple of old commercials that are amusing in their own weird little ways
this one would never be aired today:

.
/* */
wps linked me to this
these are such cute and doofy puppets

.
/* */
I keep meaning to post this and then forgetting it exists
Sky advert

.
/* */
A couple of films by Baginski
I've posted his FALLEN ART in the past

Undo

.
/* */
The Ark

.
/* */
and hell I'll post Fallen Art again
since it's always entertaining

.
/* */
and someone said I should post some TooL music vids
so here's a couple
if you're one of their many fans you've probably seen these already

sober

.
/* */
parabola

.
/* */
jambi

.
/* */
and thats all for today

Great Cart00ns part Eleventy


Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - January 13th, 2009


So the first chunk of this post will be films by Sylvain Chomet
Chomet is an incredible French artist and animator who's made quite alot of wonderful things. Not the least of which was his movie The Triplets of Belleville which came out quite a few years ago which you should really see.

.
/* */
Its a really great weird film.

Ok

anyway

in 1991 he started work on a movie called The Old Lady and the Pigeons
he finished it in 1996
and some wonderful chap finally put it on youtube so here it is in 3 parts

La Vieille Dame Et Les Pigeons

.
/* */
part2

.
/* */
part3

.
/* */
As is obvious, he is not a fan of tourism, clearly

he's also made a short film a few years ago for a movie Paris Je'Taime which is a really good film
i dont know if he ever did live action before, but its a very cute imaginative film

.
/* */
And a couple of commercials he made

.
/* */
tomorrow

.
/* */
and to finish this post off, this neat stopmotion/liveaction silly short cartoon about witches
my friend Thor Clob of Blunders showed this to me
it is most amusing

Jan Kounen - Gisèle Kérozene

Great Cartoons - pigeon edition


Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - January 5th, 2009


i said i want gonna do another one of these because faggots were complaining, but i'm bored and fuck you.

first things first, the one shot comic collab is done
you should all read about it: here

so here's some stuff for you to behold:

first is these really neat short clips of animation
i adore the way this looks. black and white and bizarre and smooooooooth

.
/* */

.
/* */
The Black Dog's Progress

i would embed this but apparently noone embeds videos from vimeo onto their ng pages, so noone has realized that it doesnt work yet. rtil got it working for half an hour but now its just a bunch of code.

someone should fix that.
so here is a direct link

Add N To (X) Metal Fingers In My Body

.
/* */
There Will Come Soft Rains
i read the story that this is based on back in school.

.
/* */
And now some films from Fran Krause, a man of many talents:

Moonraker

.
/* */
Utica

.
/* */
Robot Dance Party

.
/* */
Mister Smile
perhaps the greatest ending to a cartoon ever

.
/* */
for the last couple of years united airlines has been making some great commercials.
last year they got the blackheart gang guys to make them a commercial with sea beasts playing music

but the year before they had Duck Studios make this one which is so great

.
/* */
and then they also had Duck Studios do this one last year

.
/* */
and there it is.

Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard - December 6th, 2008


welp i just finished off a new episode for weebl and feel relieved that it is finally done. and so, heres a pile of stuff to watch.

First is the trailer to the Freaky Flickers movie.

Now, this is not a great cartoon.

Actually its not even in the vicinity of good. However it IS mighty hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

enjoy

NOT ME PIG

.
/* */
now that THAT's out of the way, here are some more amazing student films:

this one is fucking amazing
crazy character design, bizarre stuff everywhere. no idea what it means, but man is it fun to watch.
La Marche des Sans-Nom

.
/* */
Lucy Lolly
made by Gagaman

.
/* */
Bunny Pop
this is the music from Spirited Away in this, right?

.
/* */
Moonlight Snack
the dad's face at the end is my favorite piece of this

.
/* */
And this film by Ryan Shaw called 25% cotton
featuring the weirdest ecosystem I ever did see

.
/* */
And this next student film is by Pen Ward
Ward who made adventure time, submitted a film here to newgrounds, and is one of the main brains behind the dark comedy The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
this film features his character Bueno the Bear
the description is as follows
"Pen Ward's "powerful and stupid short that he spent very little time on at CalArts in 2006.""
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, SASHA? >:|

.
/* */
And to finish off this post
a couple of very neat ads that some small indy studios made to advertise the Zune

.
/* */
And the perfect merge of soundtrack and visuals, with this spot
moodbot

so here's one more thing
this neat little cartoon with a twist ending
