Last Time in Clerkenwell, by Alex Budovsky:
I thought this looked oddly familiar, and it’s because it is the sequel to the equally worthwhile Bathtime in Clerkenwell, which was featured at the Animation Show awhile back. Via The Denver Egotist.

Greedy, murderous children: the best.

This short animated film has the potential to ruin a part of your innocent, children’s book-lovin’ heart, or perhaps even your sunny concept of children altogether. Luckily for me, that part of my heart was ruined a long time ago and I hate children, so I think this is the best.
Via Videogum.

PES’s animated shorts are always winsome, and his most recent work, Western Spaghetti, is no exception:

Sweet Wishes is the first foray into film for painters Mark Ryden and Marion Peck. The animated short is a cautionary tale starring a doll, a baby, and a bear. Via BoingBoing.
I think it’s a bit too “easy,” but I’m judgmental. The soundtrack, however, is the best. Someone mentioned that it’s Raymond Scott (whose early electronic recordings are amazing amazing amazing, go listen now!), which would mean that Raymond Scott is the posthumous winner of my new favorite person award. Prestigious, I know.
