story animation

single stories in one animated video (shorts, cartoon pilots, no-dialogue stories set to songs, etc).

  • The Little Poet: beautiful calarts film that takes you through art, narrated by a kid with a crush. so so lovely
  • Cockroach: cute little domestic video about a dog and cat couple dealing with a cockroach
  • Diamond Jack: a rollerskating thief – love the vintage sound of the song, and the animation is so fun!
  • 「プリンのうた」(Jigglypuff’s Song): my favorite poketoon! it makes me teary.
  • LOUISE: really beautifully done short film about the dark side of professional ballet
  • Mascot Prep: cartoon pilot about mascots learning how to be mascots lol. main character (voiced by mitchell musso!) is fucked because he has no product yet
  • NERVOUS: a nervous dog is left at a doggy day care
  • omelette: no talking, just music and a sweet little french bulldog (or boston terrier? can’t tell) who can cook
  • 떳다 그녀!! (There she is!!): a bunny falls in love with a cat in a world where interspecies romance is forbidden. extremely good; you get emotionally more invested with each installment (compiled here nicely in one video)
  • There’s a Man in the Woods: well-written, unsettling spoken word story, but the animation enhances it x10
  • Welcome to My Life: i watched this as a youth and loved it. love how the monsters look, love the mockumentary style and sweet tone, and love the commentary on asian americanism

standup

what it says on the tin. it’s kind of hard to find well-compiled lists of standup videos… this too will not be well-compiled.

  • john mulaney: New in Town, the Comeback Kid, Kid Gorgeous, Baby J, all on netflix i believe. (i really don’t care about his personal life atp, i just think he’s funny)
  • hari kondabolu: loveeee him. i’ve seen Warn Your Relatives (netflix) and Vacation Baby
  • sindhu vee: i have yet to see a full special by her (no access) but i like this performance of her live at the apollo, her delivery is everything lmao
  • gianmarco soresi: you should just follow him on any social media bc everything including his crowdwork is great - but here’s him on the late late show, comedy central, and don’t tell comedy
  • ashley gavin: she has a full special!!
  • sabrina wu: they’re so real to me…
