You don’t need to go to film school and pay thousands of dollars for screenwriting classes. All you need to do is some reading. Let me tell you which books I found to be the most helpful...

 

Nothing like a little drunk animation to get your weekend started. 

IBM says it has made the tiniest stop-motion movie ever — a one-minute video of individual atoms repeatedly rearranged to show a boy dancing, throwing a ball and bouncing on a trampoline.

 

 

Interesting little animation documentary about a woman's terrifying experience on the London Underground.

 

 

 

 

 

Canada's wonderful Cinematheque Quebecoise turns 50 this year. They celebrate with an animation by Diane Obomsawin.

Bunch of Canadian animators get sticky together. It's not as kinky as it doesn't sound.

 

CNN has reported that Fox has pulled from its website the March 17^th “Turban Cowboy” episode of Family Guy showing Peter Griffin running down marathoners with his car in his bid to win the race. An edited Family Guy hoax clip making fun of Monday’s bombing was pulled down by YouTube as well.  Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane tweeted yesterday, “The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent. The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims.”

 

If you missed Bibo Bergeron’s (The Road to El Dorado, Shark Tale) 2011 animated musical-adventure, you’re not alone.  Unfortunately, the film was never released theatrically in the U.S.  However, you can watch it now, as Shout! Factory has released the film in a two-disc Blu-ray 3D combo pack.  The set includes Blu-ray 3D and 2D, DVD and a digital copy of the movie compatible with PC, MAC, iTunes, iPhone and AppleTV.

Each year I look forward to Anima Brussels because it is my first festival of the year and an opportunity to see a large number of new Belgian animated films.  Over the ten days of ANIMA there are also many noted guests and old friends.

Check out this little piece of awesomeness from UK animator, Lizzie Oxby. I think she went to RCA once. Might have shown on her films in ottawa. That's not important right now
