Someone in the last one of these reminded me that I had not posted any Bill Plympton animation. He has a contract I believe with Atom (formerly known as AtomFilms). Hence alot of his work is there and obviously I cant embed stuff from there here without breaking the code and causing a great cluster of fucks.
So.
Your Face was the first Plymptoon I ever saw. I still love it to this day because despite being an amazing artistic feat, and hilarious, it also has an oddly catchy melody which I will never get out of my head.
God I used to watch this and his others over and over and over back in college.

How to Kiss
Plympton has made quite a few shorts and a small handful of features. He has a rather sick sense of humor, which I like.

This next film is by Patrick Smith
He, too, is a master at morphing things crazily via animation. Chances are you've seen this once.

For those of you who grew up in the late 80's and early 90's (aka 1% of the ng audience) there is a good chance you watched some of Disney's television animation. I'm talking about Goof Troop, Tail Spin, Ducktales, Chip n Dale, Bonkers, etc.
I look back on these shows and am actually rather amazed at how well animated they often were.
However my favorite was the Timon & Pumbaa cartoon show. Very loosely based on the movie. Every morning I would get up JUST to watch this show before I went to school. I ADORED IT.
These are my two favorite episodes. They are both musical and quite short:

This little bit premiered with the movie THE BIG GREEN when it came to VHS. They rarely RARELY showed it on tv.

and hey speaking of Disney
Here
watch Mickey's mouse's face contort in a bunch of rather horrifying facial expressions as he sings a song that makes little sense. Seriously pause it at any point to see Mickey have a stroke.
