I absolutely adore this French animated short called "Le Balloon" by TiJi Lagardere Active. Sometimes animated shorts have more story to them than a 2 hour long feature film. Love, Luv, and Wuv this video.

Hayao Miyazaki has a new movie called 崖の上のポニョ or for us English readers, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. This marks his 9th film with Studio Ghibli. The plot is centered around a girl fish who runs away from from home because she desperately wants to be human. She ends up stranded on shore and is rescued by Sōsuke, a five year old boy who lives by the cliff. I can't wait until the U.S. release.

I love all of Miyazaki's stories. They're always about transformation, seeing the bigger picture, and embracing who you are. If you have children or still have that 5 y.o. little boy or girl buried deep inside, watch his movies.

Check out this awesome short called Oktapodi about two cephalopods who'll do anything for love.

UPDATE: They've removed the movie for some reason by you can learn more about it here.

My buddy Matt Morgan (morgasm) brought this cool flash app called Fontpark by Morisawa to my attention. The site first plays a few examples of what you can do. The rest is up to how you combine Japanese kana to draw almost anything. Animation is super slick. Loving this site.

Hit the jump to see what I created. His name is Bucktooth. Don't forget to see it in action!
