I think you’re looking for this one.
i have never seen it before. thanks for sharing all this.
The Cat Piano and Tarboy are two of the greatest shorts I’ve ever seen.
If i want to make a short film night, non-commercial, do i need the approval from the creators of those movies?
good work and great list of animated short films. Thank You.
“The Passenger” awesome movie……
great list thanks for sharing!
I just stayed up until 5:45am because I couldn’t stop watching every single one of these. Get Out and Alma are the two that probably freaked me out the most, so far that I had to continue watching the rest to get those two out of my mind. Short story animation deserves more credit in the movie genre, and most of these are great rarities.
It is very funny “One man band”. :D :) =) :]! Who made it, I am sure he needs 6 months for a little video + uploading +rending. If no, I thank him very much, more luck and money like that kid. Some very big bags filled with lots of money. I thank him again because he made this video. I will share to my Facebook and Yahoo! Messenger friends the site. I hope they will share to their friends again and again. And I hope he will do more other videos like this. If you wanna to meet me, we need to meet in a game. It’s name is Counter-Strike and the servers are gg.godplay.ro and more others, I can’t think about this right now. I hope nobody will spam my comment.

I need advice.
for improve my skill.
thanks.
These are all great.
I’ve been trying to remember an animated short film I saw years ago. I can’t quite recall the details but the main character was either looking for a face, or maybe a head? It’s possibly a French film. At one point toward the end he finds a face he likes but realizes the skin color of his face and his hands don’t match and he’s totally devastated.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Can anyone suggest a short (max half hour film) to show at a kids birthday party? Age 4 to 7 years old? )
