Dave Schlafman, who recently won a Toyota from Current TV, has teamed up with Pileated Pictures on The Idiotic Adventures of Philippe and Pierre. Episodes of this online animated series will begin streaming at IdioticAdventures.com next Monday, and new episodes will drop every other week. The series builds on a simple premise - Philippe needs a body and Pierre needs a brain. In each episode the two struggle to help each other out, but they never quite get it right.

The series was conceived, directed and designed by Schlafman, who initially painted Philippe and Pierre in his sketchbook (inset). He teamed up with Dan Flynn, who animated the series, and Evan Sussman who composited the shorts and added effects. You can view the series teaser below:

2007 Holiday Card Round-up

posted by aaron, 3.28 PM

The holiday season typically sees a flood of great holiday animations, and this year is no different. Here’s a pile of shorts and even one interactive piece…

Perhaps the most unique one is from Angel De Franganillo at antiheroe.com. It’s a Santa operation kit - slide his clothes off, drop the scalpel on his chest and start removing parts. Hey! I didn’t make it - don’t shoot the messenger elf.

The gang at Mukpuddy gave Santa a few drinks before animating this card…

Peter Slattery’s holiday card needs a preface - his clan takes part in a holiday challenge each year, and for the 2007 holiday season they had to make a commercial for mince meat.
Joseph Troy, an animator at 9story Entertainment in Toronto, Canada, created this one:
And here’s a link to Joe Corrao’s card, and one from Pileated Pictures.
