Overflowing with both style and emotion, this is yet another example of conquering both style and substance. This film has flavor. You’ll see what I mean.
If you enjoyed this one, or if you’re looking for darker fare, then you might also want to check out Carlos’s Legend of the Scarecrow [Spanish, no subtitles].

This one has been around for a little while now, so I hope it’s not stale to you. There’re a couple reasons I’m placing it here. First, it’s fun in that Pixar-like short film kind of way, and secondly, this film was made with Blender, the open source and free-to-use animation software. Very cool.

Both of those are wonderful. Thanks, Kyle.
Thanks, Harry! I’m glad you enjoyed them. I know I did as well and I thought long and hard about how to tie them in together. When I was putting this little mini-series together I collected a bunch of animations that I thought were especially cool and then attempted to group them by theme…I couldn’t find a natural way to group them except to say that they’re both really engaging.
Anyway, I’m rambling. Glad to hear you enjoyed these!
