Doesn't seem to be a thread dedicated to animated films, which I think might be of interest. Let's start with this.

Amazing animator and artist. He films his drawing and goes through a process of erasing and redrawing multiple times for the animation.

I've seen a few Kentridge exhibitions and I think he's brilliant. a really good style/technique.
Lots of great stuff in this thread!

Wondering how it'll be before Tim Drage recommends Bruce Bickford and Mike Jittlov on here (and deservingly so, I might add)...
Consider it done! :)

Mamoru Oshii's surrealist masterpiece Angel's Egg. Bought a book of the full storyboard the other day :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgO9AzAFAX0
This is what I wrote about that movie in the
Seen and not seen's, recommendations and queries on top films in general thread -
QuoteWatched Angel's Egg, and while I loved the surrealist non-plot, the skill of the art and the general darkness and gloominess itself, I've got to say that little girl was one of the most annoying characters I have seen. Good thing she died.
ha :D
nice looking cyberpunk-ish thing from some animation legends, dunno if it will be good or not but should look amazing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/under-the-dog

complete masterpiece
these are some oldies you may appreciate:
Rabbit and deer (child oriented, but perfectly done)

will try to post some stuff from my ars electronica festival archives
My brother works as a cameraman for the NFB often and he got a Norman McLaren box set from them some time ago.
Always forget how brutal the violent escalation of his NEIGHBOURS [1952] is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1q8f-I6YsI
anyway , since we are between friends, I am currently experimenting on stop motion and clay animationand I hope to deliver something next year... nothing extreme, classic child oriented stuff... I'll keep you posted if anything good come out

Eine Murul/Breakfast on the Grass (1987)

fuuucking heeeeeeeel THE DARK INCAAAAAAL!
Is this some bullshit or are they making an actual movie out of this?
I think it is a short, but not sure.
pure metal hurlant worship
First discovered that very Jodorowsky/Moebius story in English versions of Heavy Metal. I recall it was re-printed in three volumes, of which I have the second. It always struck me as very "Dune" inspired - hardly surprising since Jodorowsky tried to make Dune, with Moebius among others doing the designs (Chris Foss did some great designs).
Have you seend the documentary about Jodorowsky's dune?
Absolutely impressive!
Not yet, but I was thinking about it as I wrote that post.
Another on the increasing "too see" list. I'll bet it is good.
I did not realize Jodorowskys Dune had come out already. I remember watching the trailer and being excited about it but couldn't find it anywhere. Will have to see it soon.

MASTERPIECE !!! Everything is in place. The story and characters, the colors and music, the whole mood is fantatic. Highly recommend that one
as well. Stunning.
anybody into Bruno Bozzetto?
Without doubt, we should include Hiroshi Harada´s "Midori - The Girl In The Freakshow" (japanese Title: "Shojo Tsubaki") for several reasons.
The well somehow omnious story behind the production, the hide&seek attituede of the first screenings and last but not least the level of
depravity and perversion that is shown of by the protagonists of this animated trip into the darkest chambers of the human mind. Not less.
Here is a good review: http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/midori-the-girl-in-the-freak-show/ (http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/midori-the-girl-in-the-freak-show/)

One of the most morbid animation flicks ever seen.
I love everything Maruo has done (apart from the Maggot book, which was quite boring,...)
I've always loved the short films of David Lynch, particularly the animated bits.
THE ALPHABET
and
SIX MEN GETTING SICK SIX TIMES
There are animated portions of THE GRANDMOTHER as well.

What other works of him would you recommend ? What is this Maggot book about ? Sounds somehow interesting.
I would suggest just anything you can get. Not joking!!!
http://journal.media-culture.org.au/0410/05_horror.php
That book is inspired by a very nice novel by Ranpo Edogawa, the godfather of the so calle ero guro genre.
Regarding Maruo, get Mr Arashi's Amazing Freak Show, Ultra-Gash Inferno... just anything.
It was the "Caterpillar" not the maggot, sorry about that-
THE MASTERS OF TIME aka TIME MASTERS
Saw it as a kid and could never forget this animated masterpiece. Until now, i saw it around 10 times i guess.
Highly recommend for anybody who is into classic Sci-Fi and a style of animation different from the common japanese one of these days.
