3 Short Animation Films Worth Watching

Short Animated Films on YouTube

The other day I came across a very interesting animated short film and as I kept looking in the related/recommended videos on YouTube I found out that there are many talented creators of animations promoting their work.

Have a look at these 3 and if you are interested dig deeper in their websites or YouTube.

Description quoted directly from the YouTube videos.

Get Out
Gary, is a madman, shut up in a padded cell which he refuses to leave. He has a phobia about doors and lives in an imaginary world where he feels secure. A psychiatrist uses different plots to try to get him to leave the cell, but with no success. Finally he has to employ force.





This Way Up

A.T Shank & Son have a bad day at the parlour when a falling boulder flattens their hearse. Emotional and literal pitfalls lie in wait for the odd couple as they make their way cross country with just a coffin for company. This short animated caper puts the fun back into funeral as their journey



The Backwater Gospel

As long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. Until one day the grim promise fails and tension builds as the God fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die.

The Backwater Gospel (2011) 09:39 | Animation - Horror Thriller
Produced at The Animation Workshop (www.animwork.dk)

Frozen through the eyes of Tim Burton...

If Tim Burton drew Frozen...

A Japanese girl helps us discover the alternative magic of Disney's Frozen



Yoko is the name of the Japanese girl who likes drawing pictures, as she states in her tumblr. Surfing the Internet about Tim Burton, I came across this hidden treasure.

Yoko created some pictures based on Disney's animation Frozen in the style of Tim Burton's drawing and here's the results:











I believe that she has done a very good job and that she depicts very well the melancholic romanticism of Burton. The big eyes and skeleton figures of the characters remind us very clearly of the famous director/producer's style. The pictures make me dream of how the outcome would be if one of the most beloved directors of Hollywood met a magical story like Frozen.

And that's not all of it!...

It's worth to take a glimpse at Yoko's tumblr here and see the rest of the pictures!
