Newgrounds ca. 2001 ftw

The David Lynch flash series in this aesthetic is cool but I find that style kind of unwatchable so Ive never seen the whole thing even though its like 8 minutes long.

some animation stuff I find particularly unsettling is the primordial stages of computer animation, in shorts like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqMKy74HKXs

this was produced by Peter Foldes in the early 70s for the national film board of canada as a test of their newly researched tech, a computer program that could interpolate in-betweener motion. the film was made by only drawing every 12th frame and letting the program "smooth" it out, which is how you get this very gross, shifty aesthetic.

This is NSFW but here's a really insane movie from 1929 called Eveready Harton in: Buried Treasure, which is likely the first animated pornography ever produced. The film has no credits, because it would have been illegal to produce or own a copy of something like this, but it has been traced back to animators from the Fleischer Studios, and it was likely that they brought the print to parties and stuff which is why its largely comical. BUt my god in 6 minutes they really cram this thing full of filth and a surprising amount of bestiality:

A lot of the animators who worked on fritz the cat moved over to that raggedy Ann movie which is why it's got such a bizarre vibe

The Goddamn George Liquor Program - from 1997, it's one of the first animated programs made exclusively for the Internet in Flash. From a group of cartoonists who worked on Ren and Stimpy, it's crass and archaic but a neat little piece of history

If you can post clips from Snafu, that would be awesome. I've only ever read about it...

Getting back into the weird part of animation, I stumbled onto this collection of super early computer animation called 'Visualing Poetry With 1960s Computer Graphics - AT&T Archives'. From the video description:

Animated documentary about some medical oddities and grotesque models and tools, helmed by the quay Brothers

I like the lack of didactic explanation of the history around these objects, just creating little movements and intimations of their application via their stop motion animation. Cool little piece

as always thank you for this thread. I wish I could share more than a trailer but this feature looks really promising

and my friend has nothing but good things to say after she saw, she described it as a quay brothers-style anthology piece. It was apparently made by a handful of artists over the span of years, with lots of meticulously handmade scenes and sets
