Amazon.com

Since the demise of the International Tournées of Animation and the regular Spike and Mike shows, independent animated shorts have become increasingly difficult to see in the U.S. It's commendable that King of the Hill creator Mike Judge and Oscar-nominated director Don Hertzfeldt put together this collection (with slightly different content than the theatrical release), but it's regrettable that most of the films aren't better. Koji Yamamura's Mt. Head and The Rocks by Chris Stenner and Heidi Wittlinger present off-beat, personal visions. The Cathedral by Tomek Baginski boasts dramatic imagery, but a clichéd storyline; Jeremy Solterbeck's brooding ballet méchanique, Moving Illustrations of Machines, doesn't really go anywhere. Adam Elliot's Brother, Cousin, and Uncle and Corky Quackenbush's The Adventures of Ricardo combine crude stop-motion animation with mean-spirited narratives. Ultimately, The Animation Show remains less than the sum of its parts. (Unrated, suitable for ages 16 and older: grotesque imagery, nudity, sexual situations, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

    5.0 out of 5 stars Something for every taste (includes tasteless)
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2004

    Stunning outworldly landscapes, freakish clay people, and insane bad acid trips. Yep, you'll get everything you can think of and more. ;)

    This film is an arrangement of several international animation shorts, and you're bound to find at least one you like. Being international, it does mean some of these films are foreign, and you'll have to squint to read the subtitles in "Mt. Head." (You'd think after that Goldmemeber parody the guys who make those subtitles would get the idea) Some films have no dialouge, so that's easier on the eyes.

    The emotional qualities of these films range wildly from overwhelming awe (the Cathedral) to extremely bitter humor (Billy's Ballon), and if you want your kids to grow up emotionally disturbed and confused, this is your film. (of course, I saw "Heavy Metal" at age 5 and I didn't remember it because I had no idea what was going on and still don't)

    Some of these films are family-quality entertainment, like Tim Burton's "Vincent", very similar to "Nightmare Before Christmas". Then there's Don Hertzfeldt's Intro, Intermission, and Ending that will make anyone over 13 laugh uncontrollably and make anyone under 13 disillusioned. It's possible it could be the other way around, though.

    You might be thinking "Oh, it's animation, it'll be like Disney," and you are absolutely wrong. There are styles of animation in here I've never seen before, in mediums I'm not sure I'll ever see again. They go from impossibly professional to laughably amaturish. Also, maybe you're thinking "If it's like Disney, then it's good for kids." Again, false; some of this is great material for children, some of it is definitely not. Watch this movie yourself first, then watch it with your kids to filter out what they don't need to watch. I don't like censoring children myself, but anything like "Rejected" has stuff that most kids won't be able to understand.

    If you're just looking for high-quality entertainment, this is designed to satisify. You'll most likely see things that you've never seen before, and maybe never will. This is a million miles away from the mainstream, and hopefully "Animation Show: Volume 2" will have even more faraway tales done with moving pictures that no one at Toon Disney can even comprehend.
    UPDATE (5/10/04): Turns out the DVD version is different from the theatre version. A few films were taken out from the theatre version and some new ones added for the DVD version. The new ones are suprisingly tender (the Adom Elliot trilogy), some were... well, lame (like Illustrastions of Moving Machines or something similar to that title. It should be a standard rule that the films should try to tell some kind of story, but oh well, that's just me). I'm dissapointed that some films like "Rejected" and "Vincent" were left out of the final cut, they were my favorite films and I can't find them anywhere else! They better be on Volume Two!
    Although I still like the final product (Mike, Don, next year, throw in a few interviews, I don't care if they're foreign), if you expected the theatre version on DVD, it's not the exact same product. A word of warning.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2006
    Listen, I buy a lot of collections of animation on DVD. This is one of the better ones. I'm not saying it's perfect, but Amazon's review is way too dismissive. So many collections make you wade through a bunch of second-class shorts to see just a couple gems; the ratio here is exactly the other way around.

    Hertzfeldt's shorts are top-notch, but you expected that. What you may not have expected is that so many of the other shorts are also excellent. Adam Elliot's Brother, Cousin, Uncle trilogy is fascinating and very affecting; I don't understand the Amazon reviewer's claim that it is "mean-spirited". It is nothing of the kind, although it is often sad and disquieting. Alex Budovsky's Bathtime in Clerkenwell is fantastic work and deserves special mention. Jeremy Solterbeck's Moving Illustrations of Machines did not interest me overmuch until I found out that it consists entirely of hand-drawn ink artwork, and then I was astounded at the creator's attention to detail and incredibly skilled technical ability. In fact, almost all of the shorts are either pretty, technically well-done, emotionally moving, or at least funny, and very often a combination of the above.

    I do have to single out one short for negative comment, however. Corky Quakenbush's The Adventures of Ricardo is out of place on this collection. It is not funny, well voiced, or well animated. It's simply bad, and it brings down an otherwise very enjoyable collection of shorts. The main problem is that when the creator of the short voices the supposedly 4-year-old Ricardo, he sounds much closer to a parody of a mentally handicapped person than an actual four-year-old. Quakenbush has a somewhat uncomfortable commentary track in which he wonders why some people have a bad reaction to Ricardo. I'm amazed that no one took him aside and gave him a heads-up. Regardless, there are other problems with the short, and it can be safely skipped.

    Overall, though, the collection is significantly better than many of the other animation anthologies available. I recommend it.

    A great little DVD. I saw this feature in the theaters, and had to own it. Don Hertzfeldt is a funny animator indeed, and this DVD has some excellent stop motion, and other mediums that will knock your socks off. Don't forget your 3d Glasses! (dooo doo do do doo do dooo)
