I still think the guys bashing the paper from the otherside in rejected cartoons was probably the best use of the medium I have ever seen.

[@Wurdswurth]

07:26 I love the cannon sound!

[@Arguman]

Wurdswurth I just watched this again and I was thinking how perfect the sound fx/foley art is. Beyond just his animation, Don does amazing work with sound

[@abcedertreetoo]

Enhanced by following the mouth explosion noise just 3 seconds earlier.😂

[@Wurdswurth]

Oh my gosh, you’re right. That’s funny. 😆

[@LeMoonek]

"ITS LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU" one good pun and i believe in human race again

[@GuyLuLu]

I'm so glad I randomly remembered this Jem

[@Arguman]

So many good lines. Before I could watch KZbin on a phone, I ripped the audio from these clips and put it on my ipod to listen in the car. It helped me to memorize every word and sound to perfection, and while its obviously a complete package-experience with the a/v, listening to the audio by itself is very interesting and enjoyable

[@javianwilliams7463]

[@rayrayraydio]

The credits at the end are for all the animators in the animation show. They were not shown with this piece, just the Hertzfeldt intermission scenes.

[@M1ckTheMan]

My dad took to me to this when I was a teenager, it was AWESOME!

[@TeamColemanberg]

I remember the first time I saw Billy's Balloon, my faith in humanity increased and I realized there were some cool people in the world. Probably not the reaction it usually gets.

[@geoffreybassett6741]

Saw this in theaters when it came out and I was in high school. Went with my best friend. I have never laughed harder in a theater in my entire life, to the point we were having trouble breathing.

[@HeruruMeruru]

[@umbrellashotgunman]

If you guys are wondering about the context, The Animation Show was a touring animation festival showcasing the work of several different animators; these Hertzfeldt shorts were used to bookend the actual films being showcased.

[@emissne]

2:35 i just realised the lego movie 2 referenced this and now i am wondering how that reference even went past the higher ups in that movie

[@jonathanfreund6504]

This isnt the "Full" Animation Show, the full thing is a two part movie with different mini stories & art work like clay & CG art. One was clay where these two rock beings saw time indifferent perception, for them they moved, acted & reacted in normal speed while the background moved at fast speeds watching rise & falls of different cultures & civilizations of man come & go; a fascinating perspective on time, consciousness, life on humanity from where mainstream historians & scientist says we began till nowish & how perception can be tilted a bit it changes the whole story. Theres more like a man looking inside a hole that turns out to be the same man looking in a hole & goes on & the hole is in his or on his head.... both in & on... anyways the perception of looking into oneself conscious & find it layered over layer of oneself to a endless being, but again its how one perceives & interprets the art.

[@zackaryberry7290]

[@ArtistTheArtist05]

My only criticism is that Don Hertzfeldt seems to have trouble with lip syncing his drawings with the audio but other than that, his animations are awesome.

[@fuegovioleta]

seems to be done purposely honestly

[@burlapjesus602]

Its because he's just reusing the same frames over and over again to save time (or maybe he was just being lazy), the parts that weren't prolonged periods of one character talking were lip synced just fine

[@w00tistgames]

Yeah I think he does it on purpose, since the whole 'hey do you want to go see a movie' scene in the rejected cartoons I just assume that when the lip sync is noticeably bad he's just screwing around

[@ArtistTheArtist05]

Some Random Makes sense.

[@SwissArmyTin]

I don't know if it's the case here, but in the Rejected commentary, Hertzfeldt said he did the animation before having any lines recorded, giving them more freedom for adlibbing and such.

It's Strauss. It's called Die Fledermaus and it is the very same piece that ends the short when the robots attack.
