Caninabis (The National Film Board of Canada, 1979)

Kaj Pindal's animated short from the late 1970s features a canine narcotics officer who burns out after sampling a little too much product. Driven by his love of cannabis, a street dog displays incredible promise for the drug squad when he chases down a local dealer. He makes headlines worldwide as he takes on smugglers and crime lords. But when his drug habit and his work inevitably collide, a clear message emerges: dogs and cannabis don't mix.

Expectations vs. Reality (Alishka Jolitz, 2016)

I had a small role in this...

Guess what my frame was before the end credits!

OpenMinds (Joe Sedelmaier, 2003)

A moment of zen from the "Where's The Beef?" guy!



At a time when form trumps content, when
euphemisms are euphemisms of euphemisms,
when words lose even the remotest connection
to reality, Open Minds seemed an apt title

It's also the one trait above all others that most
everyone claims to have—including Raymund, a
somewhat modern day 'Candide': Voltaire's joke
about man's capacity for denial.

As he (and we) bear witness to a bizarre mix of
indifference, corruption, and stupidity, Raymund,
unencumbered with any sense of irony, takes
comfort in an agglomeration of empty bromides
totally oblivious to the incongruity of what he's
saying and what we are seeing.

In fact, the only thoughtful words in the film are
in the form of a question to Raymund, "Don't you
ever have any doubts?"

Raymund is without a doubt—without a doubt.

Kitchen Magic with Fanny Craddock (1963)

BFI Database: The Bon Viveur team, Johnnie and Fanny Craddock, demonstrate their skill to a young wife who learns that cooking can be fun and how to present dishes attractively.

Cooking fish fingers have never been so dramatic!

2014 BYU Center for Animation student project

Jeff, the all time super ultra mega fighter turbo champion, takes great pleasure crushing the opposition beneath his sandals like so many discarded potato chips. After many long days searching the internet he finds, at last, a worthy foe.

Unfortunately the Mormon-based institution doesn't give us access (or 'permission') to embed the entire short here so you'll have to go HERE if you want.

The Last Belle (Neil Boyle, 2011)

This is going to rob nearly 20 minutes of your life, but it's 20 minutes that deserved to be robbed on something like this!

Navajo Coyote Tales

No different from today!

Gallery of Horror (1967)

Besides John Carradine, this flick also boasts Lon Cheney Jr. and Roger Gentry!

This is a hilariously bad movie. I really had some trouble getting through "The Witch's Clock", but once you crest that hump, it's smooth sailing.

Also: it's got a character named "Alucard", so there's your cheap anime connection.

Pencil & Eraser (1960)

The kind of film that inspired me at a young age!

Bo (short film, 2005)

Hearing about what the new sequel to "Happy Feet" will be about, I kept thinking, this premise has been done over and over way too many times, here's one of 'em. A student film from Animation-School-Hamburg in which a timid little man strives to fulfill his destiny. Kinda like how the first try was to go au naturel with a dunce cap and what seems to be the most honest depiction of genitalia I've ever seen!

By Wolfram Späth, Sinem Sakaoglu, Kathrin Harms, Jan-Phillip Dombrowski and Katja Wesner

Evolution Made Us All (Ben Hillman, 2011)

Score one for the evolutionary camp!

Trick or Treat (1969)

The grim realities of the night before come back to haunt an individual hell bent on telling the authorities the truth over a tipped neighbor's trailer...
