In twenty-ten we take an extensive look at Japanese animation, including a special profile on the god of manga, Osamu Tezuka. We highlight films by Czech artists, the artform of animators from Winnipeg, and work by women in XX Animation, all while we sit back and consider the use of furniture in animated projects, and ponder the theme of madness in Let’s Go Crazy! This year also features outstanding animation from BravoFact! With the best new animated shorts, features, commercials, music videos, student work and more, you can’t miss a single second!
