We’ve discussed how Disney’s Big Hero 6 is likely to differ from the comic book series. All that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy the marketing before the animation opens.
Gandalf was smart enough to avoid a doomed Giant Eagle flight into Mordor
It’s an old gamers joke. Let’s assume none of the PCs ran off with the ring the very second it was discovered. What would happen next? The chances are someone would want to use the Giant Eagles to fly into Mordor, fly over Mount Doom and drop that pesky ring into the lava. Problem solved? […]
Proof of concept: The Animated Adventures of Doctor Who
When I first saw this unofficial animation I wondered how the BBC would react. Now we know. The Official Doctor Who has shared the animation. Created by Stephen Byrne the short animation images what a cartoon Doctor Who might be like. Rather nicely Byrne uses the 12th Doctor for his hero. This isn’t the Oncoming […]
Short film: Orbitas
http://vimeo.com/67596206 Now and then Geek Native will bring you a love story. In Orbitas two sides are busy destroying the planet. We’ve seen this before. Nukes, propaganda and badly staffed space stations. Over time, though, the two astronauts from the rival sides begin to grow fond of one another. The animation is by Jaime Maestro […]

Short film: A-Hole in Time
You should worry about a hole in time. You should also worry when a science team sends an a-hole back in time too. A-holes seem most likely to create paradoxes that’ll confuse the braincells. You could even say they had it coming. Use this teleport link to jump to a randomly selected short film.

This is a thing: Batmetal
It’s Batman meets Metal. In particular, this is ArhyBES’s take of Dethklok’s Face Fisted. Their “new” band is called Children of Batman and this remake is called Batface. You might not want to listen to this at work because, well, metal. And swearing. I like the arrangement of Red Hood, Robin and then Nightwing across […]
Toby Froud’s Lessons Learned trailer
Do you ever wonder what happened to the baby in stripey pajamas who stared in Labyrinth? Not the character but the actor. He grew up to become Toby Froud of striped pyjamas and he makes puppets and animates them Labyrinth style. As it happens his father is Brian Froud who was the conceptual artist for […]
Short film: SubWars
Blood and gore splatter aplenty when an old man isn’t offered a seat on a busy subway. The Force is strong with this fellow. He looks the part, I admit, and I don’t think anyone is surprised when he pulls out a red lightsaber. The question is; why didn’t anyone offer him a seat. Would […]
