Reviews
Contains the most varied line-up of films you're likely to see in theaters at the moment.
... a welcome return to celebrating the engaging, unexpected and creative examples of contemporary animated short filmmaking.
Animation fans, no matter their stylistic preference (computer-generated, claymation, old-school hand-drawn), will find much to sate their appetites in this collection of award-winning and critically acclaimed work.
Boasting six Academy Award nominees for best animated short, the program richly rewarded its audience with comedy, kitsch, and wisdom.
An enjoyable collection of 19 animated shorts from around the world.
It's hard to give much credit to a 'new' animation compilation that has highlights dating back 10, 20 and, yes, 45 years.
Judge and Hertzfeldt don’t seem to have any criteria in mind beyond selecting stuff they like.
Not everything Judge and Hertzfeldt have chosen is top-drawer, but their anthology contains enough gems to make it worth a look.
The Animation Show should attract many fans of its genre — and maybe even create a few new ones.
It's like watching Saturday morning cartoons again, only they're teaching you something, they're on a much bigger screen and without the commercials.
An interesting collection of shorts that hopefully makes people realize you can tell a good story (or at least a sick one) in under ten minutes.
