Animator vs. Animation II

[thatsfunny]

There's a new sequel to that "Animator vs. Animation" clip, made by Alan Becker (same guy who did the first one). This time, the stick figure breaks out of Flash and takes on Firefox, the AOL IM guy and the Photoshop icon. I think it's better than the first one for sure.

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. Animator vs. Animation is a great example of a simple idea done brilliantly: the stick figure fighting back against the software is funny and clever. Alan Becker kept building on that idea, and the series went on to become a huge success on YouTube.

It's a great reminder for animators that a strong concept and personality matter more than budget. Which animated shorts inspired you to start animating?
