I get some kind of "Illegal action in plugin" error, and then firefox crashes.

Main link didn't seem to be loading at all, but the putfile one works dandy. Excellent short!

Hm. Maybe if you right click and "save link as..." it might work better. Or use the putfile link.

Thanks crunchland and Huron Bob. The films are quite interesting; I wish the captions and credits would stay long enough for me to (try to) translate the French.

Awesome stuff. I wonder how long it takes to put together one of these shorts. (A long time, I'm sure, especially when they're this detailed.)

Great post. Merci.

It worked in IE, so I probably don't have firefox set up correctly. Sorry about that.

I liked that short a lot. Thanks, crunchland!

Is this by the same person that did the weird short where all the kermit-esque characters partied with their creator that had passed away? (if you don't know what I'm talking about, that last sentence sure sounds whacked).

And... in case you haven't seen it... (although I imagine that for most folks at mefi this is an oldie) "muppet Overtime" is a must!

Hard to find now, this may be the last copy on the web... a good one to save to your hard drive....

I liked that to insects, walls and ceilings are integral parts of their architecture.
