Tron Uprising Animated Series Trailer
Looks ok. Doesn’t really spark my interest though, and the animation seems generic.
SHORT stories - Wisdom Teeth - Don Hertzfeldt (via SHOWTIME)
Seeing this in a crowded theatre was a highlight of this year’s Ottawa International Animation Festival. I’m glad it’s now online, but nothing quite beats watching it on the big screen surrounded by a chorus of shocked, nervous laughter.
Don’t miss the end credits.

A Skeleton Story Trailer (iPhone game)
Now here’s some great animation and character design. Supposedly it’s mainly story driven; part comic book part side-scrolling adventure/platforming game. No game play is shown in the trailer, but if it’s anything remotely matching the story scenes shown, I’m sure it will be very cool. [via toucharcade.com]

9 trailer
Looks cool! CG/3D animated film produced by Tim Burton.
A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker’s distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman. When 9 (The Lord of the Ring’s Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.
