This gorgeous animated comedy was an official selection of the 2008 Annecy Film Festival (France) in the TV series category and was produced as a pilot for the future series Silly Beast. The characters and story were created for everyone to enjoy…the young and the young at heart.

Credits: Justine Bonnard, French director, 3D and 2D animator, story artist and character designer. Producer: Purple Productions.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: I love comedy with a universal theme. With no dialogue, this little animated gem tells the story of a beast with a big problem: a little chicken stuck to his head. Try as he might, the Silly Beast can’t get the silly chicken off his head. THIS IS A RE-POST OF SILLY BEAST…JUST BECAUSE I LOVE THE ANIMATION AND STORY SO MUCH!

I wonder if we are like the Silly Beast, always trying to get credit card debt off our heads. Even if we finally succeed and all the credit cards are paid off, somehow, someway…our past spending habits hatch a little egg of debt until it grows into a another tenacious chicken we can’t get off our heads. What comes first the chicken of debt or the egg of over-spending?

Are you a perfectionist? Know someone who is? You gotta see this!

All Bean Maxwell wants is for the picture on his foyer wall to hang level. But will his dedication to the little details cause him to lose sight of the bigger picture?

This is a film by Michael Rutter produced at Florida’s Ringling College of Art + Design, Department of Computer Animation.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: My husband Robert has a thing about getting pictures exactly level, so I identified with this funny video. Fortunately, Robert hasn’t had to put the house on jacks yet. (Hope he doesn’t see this.)

A short film from Espresso Animation in the UK chronicling the lives of three hapless yet lovable Easter Island Heads. Directed by Philip Vallentin.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: Think of the most boring characters for a film and you may come up with the Easter Island Heads. They are just carvings of heads. Nobody knows how they got there. Nobody knows what they symbolize. Boring, right? Not if you’re Espresso Animation.Watch and see.

This short film is a new jewel I found on Aniboom, a cool website for animators. I love live action teamed with animation and this concept and theme (price of greed) is fab. The creator is Romeo4132 on Aniboom.

Humans! is a 60 second global awareness PSA sensationalizing the excessive, all-consuming nature of the human being. This cute and naive Earth stands no chance against such an insatiable parasite. Witness its utter demise in a fun and sickening kind of way.

Animated film by Reza Rasoli.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: Earth: it’s the only planet we’ve got…so far.

The five roommates of the new animated comedy sitcom “Animal Nation” share a lot of laughs and love, when they’re not busy pissing each other off! These guys like to spend quality time together—ordering takeout, talking about girls and complaining about Winston’s digestive system. Their apartment is literally a zoo…and it’s never been more hilarious!

In this Animal Nation video Winston, the pig, starts a diet then gets distracted by waffles. He tries again at lunch and eats his first salad which he did not like at all. Will poor Winston survive his first day on a diet?

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: Anyone who’s been on a diet knows it’s a terrifying experience. Anyone who has never been on a diet and starts their first day of dieting is in for a bumpy ride just like poor Winston.

Creator of Animal Nation is Sergio Lebrija. He started doing animation in 1994 – mostly 3d work for commercials and architectural walk-throughs. About 4 years later, he began creating cartoons.

He’s also currently working on another show in Spanish for the Telemundo TV Network in the US, a show he created, called “La Familia del Barrio.” It has been on the air for 2 and a half years.

34-year old animator Sergio Lebrija lives in Mexico City, is married with 2 daughters and a baby boy.
