End Credits (Friggin' in the Riggin')

Dental Hygeine Dilemma (excerpt from 200 Motels) Cal Schenken, 1971

Now you are relaxing in your post holiday refractory period, you know what you need?

You need to see a dude roll up and smoke a hotel bath mat. Yes. And some of Zappa's Comedy Music.




What the Hell, I'm still feeling generous. Here's a 1974 promo for Zappa's Apostrophe, also by Schenken.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus, Bill Melendez,1974

CBS Christmas animation, Willis Pyle and RO Blechman, 1966

Oh, here's one more. 'Cause it's Christmas and stuff.

The Christmas Visitor, John Halas, 1959

The Christmas Dream,Hermína Týrlová and Karel Zeman, 1946

I think I'm going to post two versions here, because I can't seem to find the longer Czech version in high quality. It's lovely, and I wish I could find the full version at a higher resolution.

Here's the Castle Films edit:


And here's the original:

Christmas Card 2010, 39 Degrees North, 2010

A festive short by Beijing studio 39 Degrees North, inspired by a poem by Neil Gaiman.

Walks of Life, Cyriak Harris, 2010

Another one of the series of Short Stories commissioned by Showtime.

Frosty the Snowman,Robert Cannon, 1953

Visdüm Tooten, Don Hertzfeldt, 2010

So yeah, here's a new Don Hertzfeldt cartoon. Pretty exciting, right?

But check it out, THERE'S MOAR!



Then you can go here and buy presents for me!
Via Metafilter, and also via James, who technically told me about The Meaning of Life thing first so of course I must give him props as well.

Contact, Vladimir Tarasov, 1978

Cowboy in the City, Vladimir Tarasov, 1973

Profesor Balthazar: For Heaven's Cake, Zlatko Grgić, Boris Kolar, Ante Zaninović,1971

No subs, sorry.

Here's a different episode of Professor Balthazar than the one I posted earlier. No snoot playing virtuosos in this one, unfortunately, but it's still very charming, and the link works.

The Ark, Grzegorz Jonkajtys & Marcin Kobylecki, 2008

Romans Dzentelmena, Tomasz Kozak, 2000

Also by Tomasz Kozak. Also NSFW.

Opera Ocalenia, Tomasz Kozak,1998

I'm gonna go ahead and say this one's NSFW.

Oczekiwanie ( Awaiting)Witold Giersz, 1962

Temple Rider, Miles Cheng , 2010

No subtitles, but I'm sure you won't mind.

Thanks to Cavin for sending this to me.




(I'm having a deuce of a time finding the director's name. If anyone has it, let me know.


UPDATE: Thanks, Matthew!)

The Apple Theives, Otto Foky, 1967

The Sun and Moon Are Stolen, Sándor Reisenbüchler, 1968

Gustavus and Alienation, Marcell Jankovicz, 1965

Mashed, Anthony Holden, 2009

Schoolhouse Rock; Naughty Number Nine, Phil Kimmelman, 1973

Monsters Do Have Their Place, (Anti-cable TV PSA) 1969

A theatrical cartoon warning against the "monster" of "pay TV," made long before anyone had to spend 45 minutes on the phone with Comcast.



ETA a much higher quality clip and title.

Yuck Mouth, Isadore Freleng,1973

1970s "Bod Squad" PSA.Produced by Depatie-Freleng Enterprises for ABC. Voiced by Scatman Crothers.



Another member of the Bod Squad was the mystifying Time for Timer. I still don't know what he is, and I still find this disturbing.

Shop-Vac, Jarrett Heather, 2010

I haven't featured any kinetic typography animation thus far, but this is so perfectly done, regardless of what you think about Jonathan Coulton's music. The use of type and design enhances the song, and highlights the loneliness of the modern culture of homogeneous convenience and isolation.

Summertime, Ub Iwerks, 1935

I miss it so. Sigh.

Cheese Burglar, I. Sparber, 1946
