Oh, Chris Ware. How I love your strange self-loathing comic books. And an animated Quimby Mouse for This American Life – Live? Yes please!

Saturday Morning Animation – Ten Thousand Pictures of You

Little Red Ridding Hood as performed in infographics. The music is a bit annoying but the second time through, I really liked it.

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.

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.

Coraline
Oooooh! This looks quite good. Quite the flashy website, too, that has a bunch of hidden stuff worth rooting around for. If you got some time, go poke around.
It is directed by Neil Gaiman who also directed The Nightmare Before Christmas. I will be seeing this in the theater fo’ sho’.
The creators also are behind a pretty bitchin’ viral marketing campaign. They made and sent out fifty individual customized boxes filled with things from the movie and sent them to various blogs. Here are some links to a some of the lucky bloggers and their respective posts about receiving their treasure:
emmyymme, tomopop, Darkmatters, Toycutter, Kissthelibrarian, fashion-pirahna, stainlesssteeldroppings
Pretty cool viral marketing if you ask me.
