First trailer for ‘LE VERTIGE’, a film about a man who must prove reality is a computer-generated simulation.

• The film is animated to look like a PS1 game - inspired by ‘GTA Vice City’

• 5 people animated the film using Blender + an app on a iPhone to do motion capture

this cartoon is from 1936. I legitimately thought that was a background painting until the rotation revealed it was a prop model. @fleischertoons never ceases to amaze to impress even after 90 years.

This might be my favorite Horror Trivia poster I've made to date.... so that means you gotta show up because it's gonna be a good one!

@NonsenseIsland @fleischertoons Having had the chance to see these on a theater screen a few times in LA, these restorations are incredible!

Like an idiot, I haven't unloaded files from my computer or phone for at least 2 years and now they are both full so I'm spending my afternoon just dumping files onto a hard drive chunks at a time.

[Josh Taylor @ModernMouseJosh]

My girfriend and I were just discussing the rights to this film 2 days ago and why it wasn't streaming anywhere. It's been recommended a few times for a Modern Mouse video and I've held off just to make sure others who haven't seen it can. Now is our time!

[ToonHive @ToonHive]

‘The Brave Little Toaster’ will stream on Disney+ on May 25th.

There are places you don’t go.

One choice changes everything. Watch the Teaser Trailer for Wildwood now, and see the movie in theatres everywhere October 23. #Wildwood

[Josh Taylor @ModernMouseJosh]

Been away on vacation. For the first time in years I didn't take my laptop. I just disconnected. What a rejuvenating time it was!

[Josh Taylor @ModernMouseJosh]

@JoshuaTookes It has been a really great year for animation so far

[Cartoon Fun Club @cartunfunn]

It's hard to believe this animation was made 90 YEARS ago in (1934).

"From the hands that created Coraline."

Human art. It's a beautiful thing. #Wildwood

[Josh Taylor @ModernMouseJosh]

This would be a good reason why Netflix is putting it in theaters. If that's what it takes to get movies into theaters for at least a few weeks, I'm in.
