Feng Yun Jue

Feng Yun Jue

Barely a month after Kung Fu Panda kicked its way to China’s box office success, another martial arts animated feature has taken China by storm. Aptly named ‘Feng Yun Jue’ or ‘Wind Cloud Duel’, the 2D animated movie is an adaptation of the popular Hong Kong martial arts comic series Feng Yun which had also [...]

Just in time for opening ceremonies in Beijing, Cheerland Entertainment and Itscartoon Animation Studios have joined forces to deliver an Olympic themed animated series.

Animator VS Animation II

Animator VS Animation II

Alan Becker has done it again.
Following the hit flash animation Animator VS Animation I, Alan Becker created a cool sequel to it.
I would have thought that he has run out of ideas, but there is no running out of ideas for this talented young man.
Again an amazing production, this is probably one of the most [...]

Animator VS Animation I

Animator VS Animation I

This is probably one of the most popular and well-distributed Flash animations on the internet by Alan Becker.
It is amazing and ingenious how entertaining he has managed to make simple stickmen and the Flash interface look. Alan is a very talented young man and he has certainly shown the world that imagination is limited only [...]

Insects by Aardman Animations

Insects by Aardman Animations

Another of my favorite Aardman shorts about a silk worm. It’s another magnificent piece of masterpiece by the makers of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit.
This one is called Insects and apparently entered for Wildscreen 2006.
According to the official website, the Wildscreen Festival is an “international wildlife and environmental film festival”.

Deadline by Aardman Animations

Deadline by Aardman Animations

This animated short called Deadline is from Aardman Animations, the guys who brought us Chicken Run, Flushed Away and Wallace and Gromit.

This is definitely one of my all-time favorite animation shorts. It is so natural and so candid it almost feels like a real behind-the-scenes footage. In my humble opinion this is definitely character animation [...]

Ratatoing?

Ratatoing?

Here’s the trailer of the famous allegedly ripoff movie based on the Pixar hit Ratatouille - Ratatoing. I can’t quite stand the ‘toing’ at the end - wonder what they were thinking when they made this. In fact, I wonder what the distributor and stores that sell this product is thinking and who’s going to [...]

The Little Panda Fighter - Kungfu Panda Movie Ripoff or Not?

The Little Panda Fighter - Kungfu Panda Movie Ripoff or Not?

Ever since Kungfu Panda hit the big screen, there has been much controversy over the show. Not with regards to the quality of the show, the storyline or Jack Black. The controversy has largely been with how some countries has been displeased with the popularity the show has been garnering and the alarming amount of [...]

Freaky Flickers Freaky Indeed!

Freaky Flickers Freaky Indeed!

I went to this link quite by mistake and guess what I saw? Well…let me just say that this is a very aptly named movie. According to sources they are desperately looking for distributors. I’m sure they will need pretty gutsy ones. I would refrain from commenting on the quality of the trailer and let [...]

Surrealistic Vegetation Animation

Surrealistic Vegetation Animation

This is an incredible display of what animation can do to showcase the surrealistic and unimaginable. While some of the vegetable growth and movement certainly look creepy but I think it is quite a realistic and reasonable portrayal.
The amount of work done here is quite amazing and the rendering and compositing is really good.
I am [...]
