Animathek and Animaestro

I represent you to listen to two sites created to collect short animation films marked with "memorable" prizes at various festivals of the world.

1. Animathek can be said, the Russian -speaking version of the next site. And, unfortunately, abandoned by its creators, but managed to accumulate 102 films. Unfortunately, the site is exclusively a video archive without any comments on the presented work, and to find information about some is not enough for one name. However, for the most part, the cartoons are recognizable, or even completely known for a long time ("Hedgehog in the fog", "last year's snow fell").
2. Animastro is a rather impressive database with brief information about the cartoon, search engine and rubricator. True, unlike the previous site, there is no way to see the cartoon right there on the spot. All work is loaded from other sites (Google Video, YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo etc). A kind of convenient and spacious "piggy bank" of animal-sores with a direct link to view.

Below the photo-aquarters are several cartoons that you can easily find on the above sites.

"Madame Temli-Putli" (Madame Tutli-Putli)

Director: Chris Lavis, Matsek Shcherbovski

Exit year: 2007

Country: Canada

Genre: Vanguard

Plot: Madame Temli-Putli sits on an evening train, overloaded with past experiences and ghosts of the past. She travels alone, meeting all kinds of strangers on her path. At the end of the day, the woman is drawn into a desperate metaphysical adventure. Between real and imaginary worlds, it confronts its own demons ...

About the cartoon: the directors of the paintings traveled by trains in Canada for more than a month, collecting road stories, and worked over the picture for more than five years. "Madame Two -Putli" is their debut tape. Magnificent music, completely living eyes of the "characters", and the Hitchcock Saspens.*The short cartoon is nominated for Oscar 2008*

Director: Christoph und Wolfgang Lauenstein

Exit year: 1989

C TRANA: Germany (Germany)

Genre: Parable

Plot: Five creatures live on a thinly balancing platform that hangs over the abyss and holds only thanks to constant equilibrium. If someone makes an imbalance into a fragile balance, the rest have to reckon with him ...

About the cartoon: a film of an animation class of the art school of Kasselian University. The uniqueness of this animation school is that it is engaged in the creation of an artistic “fine art” animation, not a film product. *Oscar 1990 in the nomination 'Short animated film'*

"Petya and Wolf" ( Peter & The Wolf )

Susie Templeton

Exit year: 2006

Country: Great Britain, Mexico, Poland, Norway

Genre: Fairy Tale

The plot: Petya, who lives with his grandfather in a cottage surrounded by a gigantic fence, meets with a wolf under the accompaniment of Prokofiev’s music.

About the film: The cartoon was based on the children's symphonic fairy tale Sergey Prokofiev performed by a living orchestra. British, Polish and Norwegian animators worked together on the ribbon. At the same time, the Poles made the dolls of the characters, and the Norwegians were engaged in special effects.*"Oscar" for the best animated film in 2007*

Director: Marie Paccou

Exit year: 1997

Country: France

Genre: Metaphor

The plot: “ Once, a man entered me ... The next day he did not leave, and I realized that I would have to get used to him ... At first it was not easy”

About the film: made in absolutely black and white; There are no gray tones. A feeling is created as if they used paint on the glass, but the film was made using computer animation. A strong drawing and high contrast effectively set the gloomy tone of the picture.
