THE ANIMATION SHOW: VOLUME ONE [2003]


Beavis & Butthead creator Mike Judge and the lunatic behind Rejected, Don Hertzfeldt compile an impressive collection of animated shorts of all sorts of styles and mediums.
Included are Judge's original Office Space shorts, a trio of fantastic Adam Elliot claymations, a bizarre Bill Plympton, a brilliant stop-motion film from Germany called The Rocks and many more.  Don Hertzfeldt bookends the film with his special brand of what-the-fuckery as well as a hilarious intermission where he rips the "wonderful" world of 3D films a new asshole.  The only weak submission in the bunch are the inane and terribly childish Ricardo shorts by Corky Quakenbush.
