The Animation Show ReviewWe're all familiar with PIXAR, Disney, DreamWorks, and Warner Bros. animation. Big feature films, Saturday morning fare, and fodder for the Cartoon Network. But what about the independent animator? Where do they go to get their work seen? The Animation Show of course.
If you are familiar with Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, and King of the Hill) and Academy Award nominee Don Hertzfeldt, you're aware these two know independent animation and know how to get it seen. Their animation film festival The Animation Show is a collection of some of the best animated short films from around the world. The problem with the collection of films is it is often difficult to see the work because of the limited venues where it can be seen. It was a nice surprise when The Animation Show Volume One showed up on my doorstep. Finally a chance for the masses to see something different that they would not normally see in the local theatre.
The Animation Show DVD contains a mixture of traditional hand drawn, stop motion, and 3D animation with a broad range of topics. When you watch the 20 films you will experience a range of emotions from complete joy and laughter, to sorrow, to contemplation, and maybe even misunderstanding.
