for all those who loved the CMI stuff, i think you might enjoy this little find
http://www.pyrats.net/movie.html
I've seen it a little while back, over at CGTalk, and it is GREAT! Really it is!
I actually still have the mov file in my computer and watch it whenever I feel like laughing a bit, and feeling pirat...e something...
That was super.
Gotta love the french and their tiny, tiny animated epics.
That was *awesome*.
I love the French ;)
That's a great refreshment from todays usual annoyingly bad drawn cartoons. (cartoon network etc.)
I love it! :)
Wow, I love that. I'd really like to see a feature length movie in that style. They haven't made any of those in a while. I'm kinda sick of all the cgi stuff(madagaskar and co.). They aren't bad but they don't have the same charm as traditional animation.
This was one of the entrants into the Annecy Animation Festival by the French animation school, Gobelins, l'école de l'image.
They're all pretty amazing and Pyrates is great but I'm quite a fan of Burning Safari... Here are links to all of the animations they entered:

Thanks MrC! I loved burning safari! :) Actually made me laugh quite hard... ;D
Pyrates, now THAT is a pirate movie, not like that Pirates of the Carribean hogwash...
