And Kiwi is one of my FAVORITE animations!! I fell in love with it the first time I saw it online. Here's another kind of animation that might interest you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY4Epc2XSGc It's called My First Crush. Animation has a magic that live acting will never capture.

Glad you liked my selection. Disney's Robin Hood is a great film, isn't it? Oodololly! I love Pixar, Claudia! Really innovative work. They certainly seem to have moved computer generated animation forward to a point now where traditional line drawn cartooning doesn't seem as commercially viable. My sentiments exactly, Mike.

My favorites are Monsters, Inc and the Incredibles. It's a little embarrassing, but I do love them. Some of their work is not well thought out - but when it is? It's fabulous. I love Pixar movies.

Neither is a less valid form of art, yet each provide unique opportunities for expression. I enjoyed the animated shorts you posted. I think they show that animation can accomplish certain things with ease and grace. My favorite as a child was Disney's Robin Hood. The animal characters were so expressive, and the songs were so good that I still find myself whistling the melodies from time to time. Good topic of discussion, Amy!

I've been wondering if my readers were actually getting anything out of it, or whether I should be integrating the content into my posts here. Your comment has encouraged me to continue with it and see what comes of it. Thank you, Nengaku! I will go and check out that short right now, Damien.
