You ever think about how this short, a collaboration between Henry Selick and the fucking Residents of all people, was meant as a pilot for a series that never made it?
This is one of the all-time tragedies of never picked up pilots along with The Amazing Screw-On Head, and if it had made it, i woulda watched all... well all 12 episodes, because let's be real, this probably would've only gotten one season.
But it woulda been a helluva season!

Some higher quality pictures of my Alestes puppet from my Trice Forgotten animation as well as some set props and pictures from the process of making the puppet.
Image descriptions below
1 - Front view of the Alestes puppet
2 - Side view of the Alestes puppet
3 - Alestes puppet posed at a 3/4 angle while holding her sword and looking into the camera
4 - Alestes puppet next to a ruler showing that she is about 10.5 inches (26.67 cm) tall
5 - Zoomed out image of the full set and puppet while the animation was being shot. Alestes is facing a barrel and holding her sword towards it. A webcam is taped to a box and angled slightly upward.
6 - Two of the barrels built for the set. The left is a barrel used only in the background, so it's less detailed and only has three metallic rings. The right is one of the two barrels used close up, so it is fully detailed, has all six metallic rings, and the seam going through the center is covered.
7 - Close up of Alestes's sword and coin purse with a quarter for scale. (Side note: The sword handle is wrapped in steel wire painted brown, and the coin purse has a ball of steel wire inside so that both props would stay attached to the magnet in Alestes's right hand while animating)
8 - Front and side drawing of the design for Alestes's puppet and armature.
9 - The assembled pieces of Alestes's armature laid over it's corresponding parts of the original design to show how it will come together
10 - The fully assembled armature for the Alestes puppet
11 - The assembled armature covered with foam to give it the shape of her body except for the head, hands, and boots
12 - Maquette of the puppet's hands made from gray Plastalina
13 - Maquette of the puppet's boots made from gray Plastalina. The folded over tops of the boots are sculpted and attached later to prevent undercuts while casting.
14 - Open molds for the head, hands, and boots
15 - Armature with foam and attached hands and boots made of silicone

Hey, Art Tumblr! Could you help me out?
My peek animation aesthetic has always been what I can best describe as "early 20th century stop-motion paper animation".
The style used for the sets in the iconic 1902 movie A Trip to the Moon.
A Trip to the Moon
The style used in the Good Omens openings.
GOs1 Opening
GOs2 Opening
The style used in Of Monsters and Men music videos.
Little Talks
Dirty Paws (lyric video)
King and Lionheart
Even the style used in a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video.
Otherside
Any clue what this style of animation is called? Is this actually a bunch of different styles that all have a similar aesthetic? I'd love to learn more, but my Google Fu is atrocious and I just cannot figure out how to even begin to figure out what this style is called.
Any help is much appreciated!

‘Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget’ Review: A Sequel That Is Finger Lickin’ Good
I must begin this stating how I am the biggest fan of Chicken Run you’ll ever meet, but in this review I’ll try not to be based and give a very concrete opinion about Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget, but honestly, this movie is simply one of the best animated movies I got to see this year.
Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream – a…

the real difference between being a movie watcher as a child and an adult, is that as a kid you watch trash because you don't know any better, and as an adult you watch trash because you're intentionally seeking trash
