Saturday Morning Animation – Quimby the Mouse by Chris Ware
Oh, Chris Ware. How I love your strange self-loathing comic books. And an animated Quimby Mouse for This American Life – Live? Yes please!
Music: “Eugene” by Andrew Bird. Animated by John Kuramoto.
Saturday Morning Animation – Ten Thousand Pictures of You
Saturday Morning Animation – Slagsmålsklubben
Little Red Ridding Hood as performed in infographics. The music is a bit annoying but the second time through, I really liked it.
Kinetic Wave Sculptures by Ruben Margolin
Reuben Margolin is a San Francisco Bay Area artist who creates amazingly complected yet elegant sculptures. Inspired from nature and built using found objects, simple pulleys and motors, he is truly creating inspired stuff. And listening to him talk about his work is just as inspiring.
The video is a Make Magazine profile and well worth watching. He even makes a stop by Urban Ore, one of the greatest places on the planet as far as I am concerned. He is truly creating inspired stuff and I really enjoy hearing him talk about his work.
Saturday morning Animation – Technological Threat
This was a 1988 Academy Award nominee from Bill Kroyer but was beat out by Tin Toy from John Lassiter of Pixar fame.
Saturday Morning Animation – Death Cab For Cutie – Grapevine Fires
Sorry this is late but here is your Saturday Morning Afternoon Animation. It is the new video for Death Cab for Cuties song Grapevine Fires directed by Walter Robot Studio.
ATTENTION: WFMU is in desperate need of your help. It is a one-of-a-kind radio station out of New Jersey that you can listen to on-line. Let me tell you people, if you can’t find a show on this station that you don’t like – nay – become addicted to, then I DO NOT KNOW YOU! And they need our help. If they do not reach their goal this year they could lose their construction permit for a new transmitter. If that happens, I WILL HUNT DOWN EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BUT DOES NOT PLEDGE!! Even $15 will help. Please go here and pledge what you can today. I mean, C’mon…$15 is not even a weeks worth of coffee when these folks are bringing it EVERY DAY!
Get on it. Please.

The sequel to “Guard Dog” by Bill Plympton featured last week.
Saturday Morning Animation – Guard Dog by Bill Plympton
Saturday Morning Animation – Kaboom! by Pes
Another clever animation by Pes. LOVE the clowns.
Saturday Morning Animation – Superman Short
This is less animation than it is a series of stills. I still really like it.
Saturday Morning Animation – Her Morning Elegance
Some great stop motion animation in this video from Oren Lavie.
Saturday Morning Animation – Big Buck Bunny
Big Buck Bunny is a great little animation made with Blender, an open source (read: free) software that anyone can download and use to create their own animations. I highly recommend watching this in HD here.
Saturday Morning Animation – Unbox the Box
A neat little commercial for AUDI that has been running in Europe featuring an animated man forming the box he is drawn on into a fancy automobile.
And, yes, that Woodie Guthrie song will be in your head for the rest of the day after viewing it.
The commercial was created by BBH.
