On Frederator: “The Three Little Pigs meet Brahms in this Oscar-nominated Merry Melody.”
The composer’s famous Gypsy Dances are featured in this cartoon, and the animation is beautifully synced to the music. Where Disney failed to impress dramatically with Fantasia, cartoons like this one hit a vein, comically, just a few years later. Here is the link.
Kirk Douglas is hilarious in this parody stop-motion animation of himself. Great fun! Here is the link.
This is an interesting video of stop-motion animation with people. Looks like it was done by students, but the low-tech effects are refreshing – although I should mention the illusion of floating through the air was first done (to my knowledge) several months ago by some teenagers on Google Video. I can’t find the link now, but this video will suffice to demonstrate it.
