More Short Films
Here are a few more entertaining shorts that I have tracked down or encountered in the process of tracking down these animations:
- The Cathedral — A pilgrim on a distant world visits a cathedral.
- Das Rad — Two rocks on a hill comment on the progress of humanity.
- Creature Comforts — Aardman Entertainment animates interviews with the animals in the zoo.
- Halluci — One of the better M.C. Escher themed animations I have seen in a while.
- Balance — I’ve seen this one years ago but I don’t remember where.
Apparently Creature Comforts has evolved into a general series:
- Creature Comforts USA – Art (quite good)
- Creature Comforts – What it all Means (alright)
- Creature Comforts – Pet Shop (eh)
Das Rad and The Cathedral were both nominated for the 2003 academy awards. Neither of them won but they were quite good. I also tracked down one of the live action shorts from that set that was quite entertaining:
Enjoy.
