Do you like computer animation?

[den]

I do, a lot. Check out http://www.odyssey3d.com/videoclips.html for some nifty things

My two favourites are Technological Threat and Gas Planet. That link will give you 30 second excerpts from the animations. Locomotion is cute. Grinning Evil Death is funny, Technological Threat is a wonderful little morality play, and Gas Planet is best watched with the sound down and Weird Al Yankovich's version of Bohemian Rhaphsody playing as the sound track.

And I thought of hobbitblue when I saw the aquaharp

huh.. Gas Planet's an old Pixar audition short.. They sent that out originally as on of their 'hey, this is who Pixar is' back in the 80s.. There's another one they did, called Knick Knack that was done in 89 that was amazingly well done for the time

Gas Planet is my all-time favorite piece of animation ever, no holds barred. We used to queue it up and watch it at parties over and over, re-playing it whenever new victi...er, guests showed up who hadn't yet seen it. I even have a screen cap of it posted on my fridge.

Ah, sadly they're only showing clips from each piece. And the Gas Planet joke doesn't really work without the whole thing... timing, and rules of comedy and all that. I highly recommend seeing the entire thing if you can.

I have several of the video collections from that company and I enjoy them immensely. "Breaking the Ice" is also terrific, a very emotional piece. I'm tempted to look into getting some of the collections I don't have. :>

I have all of Gas Planet on some videos of animation shorts I bought a few years ago. It cracks me up every time.
