Tonight Comedy Central debuts a new animated series Ugly Americans. The show was created by New York animator Devin Clark. Here’s a short interview with him about how the show made the leap from a webseries into a TV show. The Flash-animated series was made at Augenblick Studios in Brooklyn and Cuppa Coffee in Toronto. If you’ve watched the show, please share your thoughts below. March 17, 2010 12:43 pm
I woke up this morning (this afternoon, to be honest) hating animation. Blame it on last night’s interminable ASIFA-East screening of uninspiring and insipid indie shorts. Only something truly beautiful could uplift my spirit and make me appreciate this art form again. Thankfully, I stumbled across Volgens de vogels (According to Birds), a 2008 graduation film by Linde Faas (b. 1985). Touches of Norstein throughout, and that’s not a bad thing.

The intertitles are in Russian, but we have to post it: the first full trailer for Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist. (Thanks, David Nethery and Carlo Guillot) March 16, 2010 10:00 pm
I can’t help it. I love trippy stuff like this. Designer Matias Vigliano and animator Dante Zaballa from Argentina created this bit of hand drawn madness:
