MrDisgusting posted this over at bloody-disgusting.com and its really is a very cool bit of claymation. From youtube user 'takena' comes this excellent claymation short about a faithful maid and flesh munching zombies.

I first saw Toxic back in the 90's on Fourmations (Showcase for animation on UK Channel 4) and its quite possibly my favourite animated short ever. Andrew McEwan won a BAFTA for Best Animated Film for it back in 1991 and although he has gone on to work in Film and television mostly as Second Unit Director or Assistant Director he sadly does not seem to have made another animated film.

Shame there's not a better quality version floating around.
Paul Couvela' Cornucopia like Toxic is another great stop motion short that was featured on Fourmations (Showcase for animation on UK Channel 4) back in the 90's.Paul Couvela has since spent his time working on the hit UK animation for younger children Bob the Builder amongst other things
A short anti-piracy movie / advert produced for The Cairo International Film Festival by Aroma Designs & Solutions
I'm not sure how much effect it will have on piracy (well thats a lie I know dam well ... none), but it's a great little piece of animation in and of itself.

Trailer for the animated short 'The Windmill Boy' from director Dan Richards.
There are also a couple of clips from the movie online: Clip 1 (The Storm) | Clip 2 (The Foraging Tree)
Also make sure you check out the "making of video" over at the films Myspace Page.
The Windmill Boy’ is a fantasy adventure, which tells the tale of a boy kept prisoner in a windmill by an evil horde, until one day a storm gives him the inspiration for escape. The story has been influenced by the style and themes of productions like Jim Henson’s ‘The Storyteller’ and ‘The Dark Crystal’ and animations like ‘Trapdoor’. (synopsis from stopmotionpro.com)
The film took 18 months to produce and was made on a very small budget. The film has been made as a piolt for a 28 minute special, which is currently being written.
I loved stuff like The Storyteller, The dark Crystal and really loved Trapdoor back in the day, so this really appeals to me.
