Who knows how long these will stay up, so catch 'em if you can…

  • Fantastic Planet (1973) is a semi-legendary, standout French / Czech collaboration translated to English in this release. (see that WP link for more info) I just noticed it online thanks to the lovely Full Movies on Youtube sub-lemmy. [movie link]
  • The Masters of Time (1982) is a film directed by René Laloux and designed by Mœbius. It’s based on the 1958 science fiction novel L’Orphelin de Perdide (“The Lost Orphan”) by Stefan Wul. [French version with Spanish subtitles on FB] [Hungarian version on YT]
  • The Adventures of Prince Achmed is best-introduced via the older post here linked. “Achmed” is in fact the oldest surviving animated film ever, made in 1926 in Germany, and is wonderfully unique and worth at least a brief look due to its striking silhouette animation style.
  • Fire & Ice was released in 1983 by the hugely inventive director Ralph Bakshi, who earlier had turned Robert Crumb’s Fritz the Cat stories in to a full movie. What makes F&I especially riveting is Bakshi’s early rotoscoping process, later advanced by Richard Linklater to produce films like Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly, the latter based on a Phil K. Dick novel. [YT link 1] [YT link 2]

  • Korgoth of Barbaria is the most hilarious post-apoc work I’ve ever seen in my life, and a pilot which originally ran on Adult Swim. Take my word on this one-- it… is… killer. Features John DiMaggio, the voice of “Bender” from Futurama, and is co-created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy behind Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and many others. Click that link to list the current places to watch, which should mostly be DailyMotion links. (similar to YT)

  • Exordium, previously posted here (follow the link). A mere 8min in length, but an excellent, grim, apocalyptic, swords & sorcery-type piece, with some interesting philosophical connotations.

  • Dinner for Few, a Greek-produced, 10min, thumpingly-good takedown of the vicious circle of runaway capitalism. Another must-watch piece in my book.

  • Wallace and Gromit - sorry, folks, I don’t have a specific piece picked out, but if you follow that link, you should see a bunch of samples of this utterly brill British series, using ‘claymation’ to produce a range of rather legendary shorts, and even a few full movies.

Anybody got anything else to add..?
