Short, animated Russian battles to the death: Pacman vs Mario, general vs zombie, ninja vs crusader, accountant vs designer, Clara Roft vs Louisiana Jones and many, many more. (via oink)

It's Been a Long Time Since Nu Pogodi

Russian animators are making the most out of Flash, with some pretty amazing results. The animations featured in the article are: Chevengur, a darkly dystopian piece. Yellow, inspired by surrealist Daniil Kharms. Happy New Year, which is anything but. A Little Girl - the day in the life of an addict. Nude, a piece set to the tune of the Radiohead song of the same name. Grey, and dark humor in the varying shades thereof. And last but not least, the two-part epic Animus - Part 1 - Part 2.

Мотылёк - Butterfly

Мотылёк - Butterfly - is just a sweet little Russian cartoon (with subtitles) (and foxes). I seem to get a little speck of something in my eyes when I watch it for some reason.

Lift

A recent post on Russian animation reminded me of the "Lift" series of short animations, created by the Pilot studio [link in Russian]. There are, count 'em, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 installments. Knowledge of Russian not required to watch.

Somehow he has footage of my happy place.

Ivan Maximov makes some lovely and strange animation. Two more. These and more can also be viewed on his site.

Out of work? The Shooting Range is hiring. No, not the Firing Range. The Shooting Range.

Sherlock Holmes and the Murder of Lord Waterbrook. Excellent new Russian animation (well, kinda new, anyway). Here's part 2.

Russian Bear Cartoons

There is a bear in the woods. Some people say he is adorabley blotto. Some people say he is a ponderous Pooh. Still others say he is as cute as a bug's bottom. Since nobody really knows for sure, isn't smart to be smarter than the average bear? If there is a bear? YouTubery Ahoy

Kol-Belov

It takes a long time to load, but Kol-Belov's "PU's_tota" is just so creepy and bizarre and awesome with really cool music. The artist is obviously deeply weird, also highlighted in the series of shorts, "Self-Destructing Organisms." There's also a game. These are Flash animations. Nearly all of them contain a modest amount of cartoon violence/gore; may not be safe for work. Also, the guy really loves his industrial music.

An ad stressing the importance of good translation, and various other animations, ads and announcements. Flash, in Russian, but generally funny & self-explanatory.
