“What did you do with my father’s hat?
And why are you sitting with your legs like that?”
Paul Timoney‘s ‘I’m Tryin To Have Me Breakfast’.
One man’s eccentric struggle to eat a bowl of Cornflakes in peace.
Thanks Paul

Editor Evan Seitz (he of 123Films and ABCinema) tests your knowledge of colour in film with another of his nippy animations.
You may want to watch this more than once.
Momentarily NSFW.
Brooklyn based creative agency Antfood created the soundtrack for this ‘entirely fictional and completely unendorsed’ stream of consciousness Hunter S Thompson inspired animation , directed by Buck for goodbooks: an online bookstore that delivers free worldwide and passes on all its profits to charity.
We dug through the darkest recesses of our minds and studio to create original music and sound design for this Buck masterpiece. Working with squirming, analog-tape leeches, moaning coeds, screaming guitar goats, and brain-exploding psychedelia, we were certainly in our element. Plus, it’s always fun to rock out and get a little weird for a good cause!
Because hip-hop is animated.
A cool 3D mashup for Chicago retro-rap duo Chuck Inglish and Mikey Rocks by New York animator Aaron Kemnitzer.
Inspirations by Cristóbal Vila – a short animation inspired by (and filled with references to) the work of Dutch graphic artist, woodcutter and impossiblist Maurits Cornelis Escher: a ‘free vision’ of how his workspace might have looked.
The detail is exquisite. A full screener, this one.
Music: ‘Lost Song’ by Ólafur Arnalds

Hi, you were good enough to feature our last animation – Fear of Flying. Here is another from the same series. Why do men have nipples? Why do parents dress their kids as Darth Vader? Why do men get horny when they have a hangover?… all this and some pigeons. Another short from the series “The Existential Pleading of the Inner Heart” by The Brothers McLeod.
From Moonbot Studios. Produced by Lampton Enochs and co-directed by Brandon Oldenburg and William Joyce, who also wrote the screenplay. Currently up for an Oscar.
Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.
