2005 OSCARS for Best Short Animation
Ryan is based on the life of Ryan Larkin, a Canadian animator who, 30 years ago, produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In the film, we hear the voices of prominent animators and artists discussing Ryan's work, and from waitresses, mission-house caretakers and homeless people who make up Ryan's life. These voices speak through strange, twisted, and disembodied, computer-generated characters--which combine to reflect the film's creator, Chris Landreth. In the words of Anais Nin, "We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."
Some strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

Since Jim Thurman has recently passed away, I'm presenting one of his little known works: an animated adaptation of a Harry Allard/James Marshall book, "It's So Nice to Have a Wolf Around the House."
This film was made by the creative team who worked on several neat cartoons for Sesame Street, including the popular "Teeny Little Super Guy" series. Paul Fierlinger designed, directed and co-scripted the film, Thurman also scripted and supplied voices, and Larry Gold did the music.
Rest in peace, Jim. You rocked our world.

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.
