Piotr Kamler's claymation masterpiece Chronopolis is sort of like a dreary Fantastic Planet, minus the plot.
saw this screened last night, v much worth a look

The Hungarian film Ruben Brandt, Collector is up on UK/Ireland Netflix now (not sure about other locations) and is definitely worth a look. I saw it at an animation festival not long ago and loved it, but was unsure about the ending... good reason for a second watch!

I didn't know Kamler did Claymation. The one I saw was 2d animation of a ball bouncing on stairs. Very surreal.

Masaaki Yuasa has a new TV series called Eizouken ni wa Te o Dasu na! (Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!).just watched the first episode and it's up to his usual excellent standard, the sequences where the characters live inside their own drawings are wonderfulhere's a trailer

Norstein is master of the form, but I'm now resigned to the likelihood that The Overcoat is never going to be finished in his lifetime.

It blows my mind that I can remember it being discussed on TV documentaries from around 20 years ago, and it's still only around halfway done.

So, I bought Zeman's 'Invention for Destruction' (that counts, right?), but now I'm worried it's just a renaming of his Jules Verne, which I think I have.

oscar animated nom I Lost My Body is on netflix - is it worth a watch?

Found Oscar winner "Hair Love" online. It looks great and means well, but is ultimately kinda mawkish.

Quite amazing episode from a series called Operavox. I imagine this would have been astoundingly difficult to make. The faces are so expressive too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR7MdhB6GEc
After all my talk of patience recently, I've been guiltily skipping around most of my youtube backlog of animation.
Some of Piotr Dumala's films are really impressive, scratchy, with lots of large dark mysterious spaces with people moving in and out of the light. One of the most recent is a pretty heavy piece about domestic abuse.
It can't be emphasized enough that "Russian animation eus347" is an essential channel and without that person there would be a gaping hole in this world.

I hated the way Aeon Flux looked when I was a kid (didn't The Phantom cartoon look the same?) but I've heard some people say it was genius and this video explained why nicely enough. I'll probably never watch it but glad to know more about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfOT_-VQfi8

Wolf Walkers is beautifully realized but it is unmistakably made for children and lost my attention after a half hour.

Just watched The Thief and The Cobbler for the first time, holy moley the high points are high.
Also finally got around to the recobbled Thief and the Cobbler. Pretty easy to understand how this never found an audience: it's visually an awe-inspiring art film and thematically made for small children. The plot is abysmally boring but the animation feels nearly computer created in its precision and buttery smoothness. Easy to love, hard to recommend.
Yeah it definitely doesn't work as a mass market feature. I'm sort of glad it is the way it is, because the simplicity of the plot works really well with the dreamlike quality of the whole thing. But maybe I'm just too smitten to see clearly.
