Great Cartoons (and other stuff) part 3

Posted by ZekeySpaceyLizard May. 2, 2008 @ 6:59 PM EDT

I'll keep doin these until I run out of cool stuff on my youtube faves

How To Cope with Death
I think this is a student animation. I'm not sure. But it has gorgeous detailed 2d animation and a really badass design to it. The old lady and the angel of death are both so unique and fun to look at. And it has an old woman beating up the grim reaper. How cool is that?

.

The Pearce Sisters
This film was released not long ago. It is a swell combination of 2d and 3d animation and has a very twisted little cast of characters. Aardman studios made this. Same people who make Wallace and Gromit and Creature Comforts. Freaky isnt it?

.

Fantastic Plastic Machine
Different Colors

.

Kokiriko Bushi by Far East Recordings

.

Super Furry Animals (yes thats the band's name) music video for their song, "It's not the end of the world"
A very fun CGI video done to look like it's some sort of tin-and-brass mechanical puppet show. Also contains a rather hamfisted anti-war message. I know hamfisted when I see it (i am an expert at being hamfisted).

.

Tv On the Radio's video for the song Me-I
Adult Swim used to show a short clip from this during a bump. It's not technically a cartoon but it might as well be!

.

This next video is like a tech demo of sorts. It combines CGI with real nature footage to make some very neat plants that all have a very undersea feel to them. Very relaxing to watch.

.

Prelude to Eden.
This is a film by Michel Gagne. He's done a whole wide range of stuff and is one of my most favorite artists. He was one of the main effects animators in Osmosis Jones. He did those crazy colorful blobs that floated around Remy's head in Ratatouille whenever Remy ate something. He's made a few short films and more recently he made a series of ABSOLUTELY AMAZING short films for nickelodeon called the Insanely Twisted Shadow Puppet Show. He also makes comics for the "Flight" comic books which come out about once a year.
This film is lovely and was all drawn by hand:

.

and last

but certainly not least

JABBERJAW of the cartoon network groovies.
ME AND MY FRIENDS GET NO RESPECT

How to cope with death sure has a unique style, thanks for that, it made my night.

May. 3, 2008 | 2:55 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

i really love the crackly sounds the bones made as Death moved around the room


May. 2, 2008 | 7:58 PM Wurmy1029 says:

How do you find all this? It's so awesome :o

May. 3, 2008 | 2:56 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

and i dont wanna live on the moon the moon
and i dont wanna live on the moooooon


May. 2, 2008 | 8:08 PM Puppet-Lord says:

Michel Gagne has somemad skills, his Prelude to Eden has some astonishing animation, it was fucking orgasmic. Too bad it ended.

May. 3, 2008 | 2:57 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Indeed.
He makes some very cute and lovely comics as well.


May. 2, 2008 | 8:16 PM Kajenx says:

Prelude to Eden really is awesome. They had a high quality version of it on Stage 6, but sadly it's gone now...

May. 3, 2008 | 2:57 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

Gagne himself actually put a HUGE high quality quicktime version of it on his site for like 2 days. I managed to snag a copy. He had to take it down because it killed his bandwidth though.


May. 2, 2008 | 9:01 PM StagBeetle says:

After seeing all of this, I think I want to be an animator.

May. 3, 2008 | 2:59 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

May. 2, 2008 | 9:30 PM NegativeONE says:

I will continue tuning into your updates, Mr. Lizard.

May. 3, 2008 | 2:59 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

:D huzzah


May. 2, 2008 | 9:50 PM Wholyish says:

wow... where do you keep finding these... love the prelude to eden, didnt know the same guy from osmosis jones worked on ratatouille as well.

and i think there needs to be an automatic message that goes around for when zekey makes animation video posts... well, most people seem to find it anyway.

May. 3, 2008 | 3:00 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

nah these get around 30-50 comments anyway. thats more than enough for me!


May. 2, 2008 | 10:22 PM KupaMan says:

How To Cope With Death and Prelude To Eden were my favorites. The tech-plants thing creeped me out and made me feel sick to my stomach.

May. 3, 2008 | 3:01 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

rofl i found the plants cute.


May. 2, 2008 | 10:28 PM squeakytoad says:

Man, you're a judge for the yearly best. That's awesome. There is justice in the world.

Pick something great.

May. 3, 2008 | 2:43 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

i will pick Mario Farts A Pipe part Deux


May. 3, 2008 | 12:23 AM Sparkpro says:

Man, that kokiriko bushi is really catchy.

May. 3, 2008 | 3:01 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

yes it is!

May. 3, 2008 | 3:03 AM spite-skater says:

I had to come back and watch the jabber jaw groovie twice. Fucking AWESOME!Nostalgia.

Different Colors sounded like the song from the Mii channel on the Wii :)

May. 4, 2008 | 5:50 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

:D
wiiiiiiiiiiii


May. 3, 2008 | 6:12 AM MRat says:

Thanks. I had forgotten to add Prelude To Eden to my MASSIVE YouTube favourites list, all filled with great animation.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:51 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

you forgot to add my penis to your MASSIVE funhole too, BUDDY
also dont forget to remind me that i keep forgetting to do Hans comic.


May. 3, 2008 | 6:28 AM Magyar says:

I found that kokiriko bushi interesting. I like the animation of all the different hand movements.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:52 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

i had a period where all I did was fancy drawings of photorealistic hands
they enthrall me for some reason


May. 3, 2008 | 6:49 AM BizarroJoe says:

You have proven me that the new video embed feature is useful after all.
I´ll quit bitching about it as long as you continue with these "ZekeyFest"´s ocasionally.
Reluctant thankies. Uuuurrgh.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:53 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

May. 3, 2008 | 10:29 AM Luis says:

How to cope with death is phenomenal... the proportions of death and its wings are cool as fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk

May. 4, 2008 | 5:53 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

yeah the way the feathers move is godly
so 3d and exaggerated

i love that song but i don't understand half the lyrics.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:54 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

even when it was on tv, the volume faded out at some points
i wonder if the mp3 is anywhere

Epa!

May. 4, 2008 | 5:55 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

andale?


May. 3, 2008 | 11:43 AM Ansel says:

How to cope with death was very pretty. The fbf in that was amazing... and I did enjoy watching it. Fight scenes are some of my favorite things to watch, animated or othberwise.

Saw the Pearce sisters a while ago. Actually, I think you sent it to me. It's just was wierd the second time.

Different Colors was strange and left me disoriented.

I liked the dancing skeleton, but the music part of that music video was hideous.

It's not the end of the world was very nice. It looked like stopmotion, which was probably the intent, and I really do like how everything flipped out of the way or whatever to switch "scenes."

I didn't watch the bird one cause I didn't like the beginning,

The plants one was lovely. Very nice combination of CGI and real footage... I think it's funny how on youtube the title is "best cgi ever" or something, cause it's definitely not the most realistic. I loved it anyway.

Prelude to eden was fun to watch. I always like little blobby stretchy characters.

A SPECIAL UNDERWATER MIC

May. 4, 2008 | 5:57 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

if you like blobby stretchy things, remind me to send you Gagne's Twisted Shadow Puppet stuff.
you will have 3 orgasms, a horse, a seizure, and then go into cardiac arrest


May. 3, 2008 | 12:49 PM Rucklo says:

good stuff yo. the third one from the end reminds me of your own creations.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:58 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

if i knew 3d i'd probably make things like that
i like alien nature


May. 3, 2008 | 2:00 PM ngmastah says:

Amazing series, you have got to be one of the most tasteful people when it comes to animation, my favourite one has go to be The Trial in your first part, the animation and detail is perfect, I hope you make another series.

May. 4, 2008 | 6:00 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

i'll keep makin these posts until i run out of stuff i like
and i find new things pretty often
also i am bored which is another reason i do this
also i am itchy


May. 3, 2008 | 2:37 PM X-Naut says:

Prelude to Eden was seriously all drawn by hand? That's pretty rad.

May. 4, 2008 | 6:00 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

aye!


May. 3, 2008 | 8:59 PM MisterDielectric says:

Mmm... I saw the "how to cope with death" and "japanese girl trips balls" cartoon. Very nice indeed.

However, I believe the popular series KimPossible should have made this great cartoons list.

May. 4, 2008 | 6:01 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

what's the sitch?


May. 4, 2008 | 2:38 AM X-Naut says:

Also Jabberjaw looks badass with a nose ring and goatee.

May. 4, 2008 | 6:01 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

the people behind this video also did a really hot redesign of Josie and the Pussycats as well


May. 4, 2008 | 2:29 PM Ansel says:

today i had the sudden realization that i only have 3 weeks of school left
then a trip to new orleans
then two days of school
then nothing.

i wish i had some dried banana slices right now. I could really use some of those. Fooorrrrrr sho.

May. 4, 2008 | 5:17 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

bananas taste good with red sauce spaghetti


May. 4, 2008 | 4:22 PM MindChamber says:

haha prelude to eden is a personal favorite.

great selection once again


May. 4, 2008 | 7:17 PM ChadsWeb says:

Hey are you joining this years TOFA on ABS? I am :D


May. 5, 2008 | 4:26 AM JarrodK says:

Nice Collection but you are missing the wild thornberrys.

May. 7, 2008 | 5:56 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

The Wild Family with two Hideous Daughters


May. 5, 2008 | 10:13 AM Nogfish says:

YES these are all so inspiring

YUO ARRE MAI HERRRO


May. 7, 2008 | 9:35 PM Wholyish says:

just thought of something... why no Saul Bass animations?

May. 7, 2008 | 11:05 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:

not that I dont like his title sequences and shorts, but they are barely cartoons


May. 7, 2008 | 10:22 PM Hammi says:

I still remember kokiriki bushi from the day you linked it at tba. Instant fave from my side. The music is... tasty, like crispy onion rings in a burger. The video is... cute, like one of those lil skull warriors from the Kirby games, with the viking hats. Odd combination, but still almost subliminal if you put the phrases together in a new mix of a sentence, which would give a new meaning...

May. 7, 2008 | 11:05 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard responds:
