Short film: I, Zombie
Now that Bethesda and Id Software are taking pre-orders on Doom and showing us the action in the First-Person-Shooter it got me thinking about the other side of the action. What would Doom look like from the point of view of one of the monsters. I, Zombie is a graduation animation by Antoine Legendre. It’s […]
Short film: Jack the the Mysterious Lost Orb
This short animation promises more to come and it will leave you hoping that’s true. Jack and the Mysterious Lost Orb is a class project from Gobelins, a summer animation school, and pits one furry adventurer against a sinister force. Mind you, Jack might just have nabbed a mysterious orb from its resting place so […]

Soar’s described as a cross between Miyazaki and Pixar. We certainly have a beautiful CGI animation style and a story that develops as a young girl discovers a strange fantasy world.

Short film: Giant Robots from Outer Space
Giant Robots from Outer Space manages to be a parody, a tribute and a twist all in one. The animation is inspired by those wonderful b-movies from the 50s. Expect to see some iconic scenes re-made here. It’s also a twist. We don’t get the traditional damsel or hero here. This is a gradulation movie […]
Who would win in a fight? Zombie Hulk or She Thor
I’m not entirely sure “She Thor” is the name I’d use – I’d stick with Thor but I’m not reading that arch so what do I know? I tell what I know; this animation by Milton Pool of Miltonius Arts is awfully impressive for a fan project. How did this fight come about? One day […]
Geek has every reason to be pissed at her cat
This animation was made by Kelsey Goldych as a senior project at SCAD. You may be familiar with the villain of the piece; a cat that likes to knock over rubbish bins. Make sure you watch through the credits for the hidden scene at the end. Is anyone else reminded of PuppyCat with the animation […]
Short film: The Alchemist’s Letter
Made possible by a Kickstarter, with the voice of John Hurt and with art direction by the Boxtroll’s Daniel Casey, The Alchemist’s Letter is stunning.
