Happy World Animation Day!

If you didn’t know, today is World Animation Day. I am celebrating at Vancouver’s artsy theater, Cinematheque, which is holding a free screening of Canadian and International animations.

A few of my favorite animation shorts I like:

Madame Tutli Putli
Don Herzfeldt’s rejected tv commercials
Balance
The Ghost of Stephen Foster
Creature Comforts
The Old Man & The Sea
