Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

Early 1950s. In the tropics. A luxurious hotel dives mysteriously in the darkness. All it’s clients sink into an oppressive atmosphere …
Made at Supinfocom Rubika in Valenciennes, France.

Time Out (Temps Mort)

Perhaps due to my own certain age, I tend to particularly enjoy the shorts when an older person outwits or non-plusses the Grim Reaper. It’s not an uncommon story, there are a few laying around the crow’s nest here already, and I love ’em.
This animation is also in French – with French subtitles. I don’t know French. There is a lot of dialogue, or at least monologue – in French. Which I don’t know.
And I don’t think it matters. The story is independent of the dialogue and is a fun bit of romp.
From the folks at ESMA.
Invasion!
Posted by on February 5, 2019
I haven’t posted a 360-degree video before – although I’ve never come across a 360-degree animation appropriate for posting here before. I like to cast the videos to my television as I write up the post, but this requires a computer and a mouse (or VR gear) so you don’t lose the action that occurs around the viewer.
Mac and Cheez are a couple bumbling brothers with grand ambitions. From Baobab Studios.

A giggle-worthy short from Isart Digital.

A blend of different animation styles, quick patter, and a broken 4th wall make this short great – unless you’re a 3D animation student.
In a hospital for animated characters, a classic 2d doctor and a clay animation nurse must operate on a broken 3d model.
Animated by Sawyer Geffert at Ringling College.
