I know this little CGI film has made the circuit, especially of knitters' blogs, but after posting recently on Disney's new Rapunzel Unbraided, I was completely entranced with this bizarre and wonderful film by Finnish filmmaker Laura Neuvonen. In addition to being screened all over the net (and viewed by some accounts around 900,000 times) it also has appeared in over 40 film festivals and won the 2005 award for Best Film for Adults at the International Festival for Animation in Riga.
Since I have been posting about the move away from traditional styles of animation (all those hand drawn cells) I thought you might get a kick out of this hilarious spoof from Cal Arts Animation School -- which recently moved to an all "motion capture" style of animating. Glen Keane (of Rapunzel Unbraided fame) is briefly interviewed. The film is a riot.
This is wonderful! I can just imagine the sequel...!

I think the sound track is fabulous, too. I know Neuvonen has a new film out...but will have to wait for a chance to see it.

Inspired by this post, I began a new story game with the children I work with: http://desultorie.livejournal.com/88102.html
