A truly beautifully animated Cinematic piece from Blur Studios for the game “League of Legends”. I wish they’d make a feature film like this instead of all fuzzy animals.
Riot Games and Blur joined forces once again to excite and delight the League of Legends community. This second installment in the League of Legends Universe showcases its champions like we’ve never seen them before as they engage in an epic and equally brutal team battle lasting over six minutes.
This montage, created by animator Steve Cutts, shows what The Simpsons would love have looked like on the set of Miami Vice. A particularly tickling touch is the “thou must kill forgive Simpson” on the wall of the heavily tattooed Flanders’ prison cell.

A short film made by Academy Award-winning studio, Aardman Animations (creators of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep). The interesting thing about this film for me is that it’s interactive. Use your mouse to rotate the view to follow Santa and the guard around the courtyard. Pretty cool little device to tell a story!
Find yourself following the adventures of a humble caretaker, who is disturbed by a mysterious stranger on the roof. Who’s there? And the chase begins… room to room… up and down… somehow, mysteriously, just out of sight. But the elusive stranger is always one step ahead, leaving behind only a trail of gifts…

 In typical Google fashion, today’s Google Doodle is a cool little animated story about Beethoven’s horse eating his symphony where you actually help him place bits of his famous symphonies in the right order.
The style is nicely done as well, sort of looking like visual development for a Disney feature or maybe some cut out animation.
