my personal fav instances of animation being Fucking Extra

• the invention of fur simulation for monsters inc
• howl’s bedroom, jesus christ
• kubo’s mom crawling along the beach, where each individual grain of sand flying into the air was animated with stop motion
• half of treasure planet’s long john silver’s body is hand drawn while his cyborg parts are cgi
• nina paley’s sita sings the blues, a feature length film she animated entirely by herself 
• the ambient noise of the “mind space” in inside out was made by sticking microphones in sand while crabs walked back and forth over them
