“But if I kill… wipe out a whole intelligent life form, then I become like them. I’d be no better than the Daleks.”

Siegfried - North American Debut Trailer
Despite the release date being pushed back several times, it looks like the English translation of Alex Alice’s Siegfried will for sure be released this June by Archaia.
We also finally have confirmation that the animated film is back in production:
ARCHAIA ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE OF ANIMATED ‘SIEGFRIED’ TRAILER
Feature-Quality Animation Heralds Release of Alex Alice’s Epic Graphic Novel ‘Siegfried’
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 4th, 2012) – Eisner Award-winning publisher Archaia Entertainment is proud to announce the online premiere of the English-language trailer for their upcoming release of Alex Alice’s SIEGFRIED, the first volume in an epic trilogy of graphic novels inspired by the Richard Wagner operatic cycle, “The Ring of the Nibelung.”
Based on the medieval Germanic mythology of the Nibelungenlied, SIEGFRIED tells the story of a child discovered in the woods by a dwarf-goblin who raises the boy in protective secrecy. As he grows older, however, the boy discovers that he is more than just a lost orphan—he has a destiny planned by Odin, the father of the Norse gods, to fight the dragon Fafnir, guardian of the forbidden Rheingold. This beloved tale of high fantasy and epic heroic discovery is known to have inspired countless well-known classics, including J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.
To introduce the series to a North American audience, Archaia has released a feature-quality animated trailer created by Pendragon Imageforge and directed by series author and artist Alex Alice. Originally created as a stylistic proof-of-concept for an animated feature film, plans for the full production are set to resume now that Alice has completed the trilogy of graphic novels.
Volume 1 of the SIEGFRIED graphic novel will release in June, with the second and third volumes to follow in 2013.

David Mitchell’s SoapBox I Origins of the Word ‘Camelopard’
This never fails to make me cackle like an idiot.
Some of the most mind bending hand animation I’ve ever seen. It took decades to make. I remember watching it as a kid and wanting to contribute a project like this.The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut.
Do yourselves a favor and watch the world’s most beautiful animated film. I wish I had some other version than Youtube available.

One of my fave animated sequences of all time.“Rule One: No mineral or vegetable, only animals. Rule Two: No make-believe things like, ooh, pink dragons and stuff. Now, Rule Three: No disappearing.”

With a TV mini-series based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens still in development (recently confirmed by Gaiman himself on Twitter), this “book title sequence” made by Ariana T. on Vimeo gives us a tantalizing idea of what we might expect. A motion graphics assignment for school based on her favorite book, Ariana used After Effects and Photoshop to put this visually striking video.

The best attitude towards life’s challenges. Also this is a highly underrated Disney flick.

Bunny and the Bull (2009)
The boyfriend and I watched this movie last night and both really enjoyed it. Lots of interesting cinematography, a variety of gorgeous animation and beautiful music. The story was really unique, without giving away too many spoilers, it’s all about how a man came to be a complete shut in and hasn’t left his house in a year. It’s as if Michel Gondry decided to make a comedy.
