I love the art of animation, and this short film is a CGI animated film that pays tribute to the art of animation. The short is called TimTom and is was created by Romain Segaud and Christel Pougeoise.
I love how the includes elements of stop-motion animation, film media and sound to tell the story. It follows two notepad head characters as they are harassed the animators hand.
It was an official selection at Sundance and won a jury award prize at Siggraph as well as the grand prizes at Imagina and Ars Electronica. There's a reason why this won these awards, and you'll see it when you watch the short.
