Eddie Hazel solo from a funkadelic gig in '79. One seriously funky dude.
Now Hear This
Tripped-out masterpiece with strong, serious themes and a surreal off-beat sense of humour. What else, from the genius director Chuck Jones.
Jim Henson's Time Piece
Magnificent short film from Jim's very early days as a storyteller; showing all the promise, originality, wonder and cinematic magic his later work has in abundance. His unique sensibilities as an entertainer at their most raw, pure and as always, routed firmly in truth.
kap10kurt video
TheNotQuiteFool hipped me to this funky vid. It features several moments of visual splendor in the form of tastefully designed 80's-esque inspired aesthetics. With the 'tude kept to a minimum and cel shading used to pretty decent effect, the varying animation quality is forgivable. I can look past the overtly anime-referential human characters, as the video makes up for that in overall style and just sheer OTT energetic fun. Oh, and the Kap10Kurt track is awesome too. Enjoy!
The Little Island
Richard Williams' first animated short film. So much of what he's got going on in this short re-affirms that the guy is a genius. I have yet to find something he's produced that hasn't blown my mind in one way or another. I just wish he'd show us some of the stuff he's done in the past couple of decades up in his studio in Wales...
Enjoy this thing of beauty, The Little Island.
