This might be incredibly obscure so I doubt anyone will know what I'm talking about it, but I'll give it a go anyway since I've been looking for it for like a year and I'm starting to feel hopeless. About 6 years ago (or maybe more, could've been 2009/2008) I watched a short animation on YouTube, it was really strange, it featured some sort of creature that I think was on wheels? I don't really remember, it made weird sounds and stopped in the centre of the screen if I remember correctly, and then a bunch of butterflies or some other insects (I seriously don't remember) flew from nowhere and either made the creature disappear or killed the creature... or it could've ended there (honestly, I don't remember that well, but it was so surreal that it just stuck in my mind). I tried typing in weird titles such as "wheeler/butterflies/animation/creature/surreal animation/etc" but I could never find it. I included a VERY rough sketch by myself to help get an idea of the animation, I know it was set at night time and just had a weird surrealistic vibe to it.
If no one knows what the hell I'm talking about then feel free to make this into a /essential youtube kino/ thread and post some other obscure/weird animations. Thanks in advance if anyone at least knows what I'm talking about.
It was 2D, the face of the creature was like pretty well detailed though I think, it was quite creepy looking. Not really sure whether amateur/professional, when I was a kid everything was "professional" to me. It might've been a bit choppy, but yeah, does that help?
Also, thank you for sharing that Hommer Simpson one, it's fucking brilliant, I love shit like that.
Leo Hill
Sorry, I probably haven't seen it.
>that Hommer Simpson one, it's fucking brilliant, I love shit like that. Yeah, the series gets amazing as it goes on.
Nathan Collins
It's a series? Oh man... I'm in for a treat. I like finding new stuff to watch, especially if it's "weird", since most of YouTube nowadays is unoriginal and generally just such a shit fest.
Nathan Bennett
not what you are looking for but I think this fits the "obscure animation" theme
anyone know the name of an animated anime-ish-style music video were it's like terminator apocolyptic and a girl get's shot and then there's a girl with a gun on her leg and it's depressing and stuff.
someone played it in a tinychat room i was in once.
Leo Sanchez
I thought it might've been Cyriak too but nah, thank you for trying to help anyway though!
I'm familiar with Chriddof, I love David Firth's stuff, but the others I'm not familiar with so thank you for sharing!
Oh shit I remember this, kooky stuff, I like it B)
'Where The Dead Go To Die' was pretty shit, but 'When Black Birds Fly' looks kind of promising?
Connor Walker
>'Where The Dead Go To Die' was pretty shit it really wasn't your opinion is just infected by some prude autistic cartoon reviewers on youtube
Ryder Torres
No, I actually watched it, it was just really crude animation attempting to be disturbing and when something tries to hard to be "disturbing" or whatever it annoys the hell out of me, I prefer subtlety or at least some purpose when it comes to horror/shock value.
Henry Martinez
*too hard
Blake Diaz
Also I haven't watched any reviews of it so...
Dylan Flores
wrong again it actually has a ton of deep meaning and if you didn't understand that crude animation is supposed to make it more disturbing there's something wrong with you. >quick take his hands and cut yourself with his fingernails so it looks like he attacked you first >he doesn't have any yet
Cooper Brown
Yeah, I got all the "meaning", it's not exactly hard to decipher, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "deep" or "profound". So let's see, terribly crude animation (don't say it was purposeful), trying too hard to be edgy/disturbing, and in-your-face visual metaphors that any edgy teenager could come up with.
Pretty sure I'm allowed to dislike a film.

I'm going to bed now because it's 5 am soon, don't try and persuade me on how I'm "wrong" about a film I didn't like. If this thread is still going in like 8 hours see you all then.
