The Hole is a 1962 short animation by John Hubley and Faith Hubley that won an Academy Award for Short Subjects (Cartoons) in 1962.

The film uses improvised dialogue from Dizzy Gillespie and George Mathews as two construction workers at work in the bottom of a hole on a construction site discussing the possibility of an accidental nuclear weapons attack.

Carrying on the tradition of Disney corporate educational films, was the Bell Science Series, produced by Jack Warner for Bell Telephone. With several of the episodes written and directed by Frank Capra, and animation direction by such notable artists as Chuck Jones, Fritz Freleng and Shamus Culhane, the series attempted to explain scientific phenomena such as the nature of time (about time (1959)), the functioning of the human body (Hemo the magnificent, 1958), the importance of heredity and environment in determining human traits (the Thread of Life, 1957), and the mysteries of the universe (The Strange Case of Cosmic Rays. 1957), among others.

Battle 360°, also written as Battle 360, is an American documentary television series that originally aired from February 29 to May 2, 2008 on History. The program focuses on the World War II-era aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. The show is produced by Flight 33 Productions.[1]

Battle 360° makes extensive use of computer animation to depict the story of the Enterprise. The animation is combined with documentary footage, interviews of Enterprise crew members and military historians, and voice-over narration.

The series is written by Tony Long and Samuel K. Dolan, and produced by Brian Thompson, Samuel K. Dolan and Tim Evans. It is narrated by Wally Kurth. Military historians providing commentary include Alan Pietruszewski, William Bodette,[2] Martin K. A. Morgan, Jonathan Parshall, and producer and story editor Samuel K. Dolan. The 3D graphics are by Crazybridge Studios, with additional graphics by Radical 3D; the visual effects supervisor is Steffen Schlachtenhaufen. The executive producers are Louis C. Tarantino and Douglas J. Cohen, and the associate producer is Ryan Hurst.

On February 29, 2008, the first episode of Battle 360° had 1.8 million viewers. This was the second best viewer total for a History channel series premiere, behind Ice Road Truckers.[3][4]

The series original run was broadcast with limited commercial interruptions because of its sponsorship by Enterprise Rent-A-Car, whose founder, Jack Taylor, served on the Enterprise as a pilot during World War II.

Patton 360°, a spin-off series of Battle 360°, premiered on April 10, 2009 on the same channel.[5]

Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Azur et Asmar)
Azur et Asmar

Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest (French: Azur et Asmar) is a 2006 French animated fairytale fantasy feature film[2] written and directed by Michel Ocelot. It is his fourth feature, though his first wholly original creation since Kirikou and the Sorceress, and his first 3D computer animation, albeit an atypical employment of this medium with two-dimensional, painted backgrounds and non-photorealistic rendering. Like most of his films it is an original fairy tale, in this case inspired by the folklore (including, but not limited to, the One Thousand and One Nights) and decorative art of North Africa and the Middle East[3] and with an increased degree of characterisation relative to his previous works which pushes it over into the genre of fairytale fantasy. (from wikipedia)


MY COMMENT:

Wonderful animation not only concerning its content but its aesthetic as well. About identity and difference, the bond of friendship... How all people have the same blood color.

Bretislav Pojar, 1972, 7 min 32 s
Bretislav Pojar's animated short explores the human phenomenon of resorting to violence over reason. The cubes live happily amongst themselves until one of them encounters a ball. War erupts and they fight until they all become the same again – this time in the form of hexagons. All is right in the world until one of them stumbles upon a triangle… Winner of the 1973 Grand Prix du Festival for Short Film at the International Film Festival in Cannes.

Asthma Tech
Jonathan Ng, 2006, 7 min 9 s
Filmmaker Jonathan Ng turns the notion of otherness on its head in his semi-autobiographical animated short about young, whimsical, asthmatic Winston. As a result of his illness, Winston is unable to participate in the everyday activities of his peers and classmates. But thanks to his artistic ability and one particularly rainy afternoon, Winston learns that his imagination has the power to bridge gaps, transform and empower. Part of the Talespinners 2 collection.

"10 seconds is a story of what can be done in 10 seconds good and bad. It uses a focus on the positive things that can be done to boost "feeling big" rather than picking up a knife or gun." Outlaw Yutez -- City of Bristol Academy

10 Seconds is the winning entry for the Guns and Knives category of the Sharp Shotz Animation Competition 2007/8, it was written by the Outlaw Yutez from City Academy Bristol. The team assisted Georgina Reynolds an animation student from the University of the West of England in the making of the film.

just a nice idea I could adopt (nothing to do with conflict....

Comment from youtube user "monsterdistributes" : This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary, featuring young children telling the story of John the Baptist, The birth of Jesus, the Crucifixion, Saint Patrick and others. Give Up Yer Aul Sins combines simple humour with clever
animation to create films with a timeless quality and appeal to a family audience. Give Up Yer Aul Sins has screened in almost 50 film festivals, including The Galway Film Fleadh (where it won Best Animation), Cork Film Festival (Best Irish and Best International Animation), Cartoons on Bay (Special Award for Original Idea), NewYork Comedy Festival, Boston Irish Film Festival, Aspen Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival.

-how about using Sevgul Uludag's stories to create animation while using the same technique of voice over by the people who actually leaved them (recorder while interviewed)?
