This was so good I wanted to unscrupulously rip it and post it here, instead you get the trailer. Forget watching this, just go to Yulia The Movie and watch the entire animation.
In all probability, ye know about XKCD, the incredibly sharp, amazingly lo-fi and unutterably geeky cartoon strip.
Well, meet the relative it hates to see arriving at family parties; Cyanide and Happiness is about as lo-fi in production values. However, there are some things that should not be said. C&H says them. With brass knobs on. And rubs yer face in it…
Yes, I would definitely place much of their output in the NSFW category.
Most of the time, it’s a static panel or strip, drawn by one of three regulars. On occasion though, they like to make a foray into animation – still using the stick figures, of course.
Here’s one such offering. It’s a bit short, coming in at just a shade under a minute. Hang on… the credits go on fer long than the feature??
I’m really hoping the blog title is pretty clear by now. If not, click HERE.
I’ll be honest, I was only going to post an excellent clip of an excellent tune (from an admittedly patchy album, sadly).
When I first chance upon the collective known as The Imagined Village, I thought it was a great idea; folk music did need updating in the general subconscious and mashing together refreshed classic folk lyrics with dub beats flicked all my switches: see ‘Tam Lyn Retold‘ fer a superb example – having beat poet Bejamin Zephaniah ’sing’ it was utterly inspired.
Here, however, is ‘Space Girl’ from their latest album, ‘Empire and Love’.
Now, the thing with Youtube is you have the opportunity to look at what they refer to as ‘related videos’. It’s a loose definition, I think…
I know Chris posted this before, but I think it was my turn to make folks’ eyes bleed, so here it is again.
This is well put together and informative. So, you’ll probably want to skip over it because it’s not a cat video or some viral that everyone has already seen but you.
Another slick animation from The Animation Workshop in Denmark. I recently posted Out of a Forest, a film from the same school. I love the transition in the beginning, quick & fun.

Vegeterrible’s story of an avocado gone bad reminds me of a Far Side cartoon:
Hey, it’s simple and has cute kids. Definitely entertaining.

I think the story tells itself, but if you must know what the children are saying someone has translated in the comments on the Vimeo page.
