We Want You: To Animate the Great Speeches That Shaped History and Changed The World!
The History Channel is teaming up with Aniboom to give you the chance to put your take on a great historical speech and have it shown on television.
The People Speak Competition includes musicians, actors, and writers like Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Josh Brolin, Allison Moorer, Bruce Springsteen, and many more. They read the words of those who spoke up, and against all odds revolutionized the world by choosing to act rather than lay quiet. By boldly rising and demonstrating the power of free speech and democracy, these select few people enriched the world and changed history with language. Keep the traditions of self-expression and artistic freedom alive—we want to see your take on the incredible and inspirational words still ringing down the annals of history!

AdminWar truly is Hell in the incredible music video to rapper Ill Bill's shattering song "War Is My Destiny" from his album "The Hour of Reprisal", animated with incredible talent and style by Adam Calfee. A powerful and provocative work, this video shows a violent, disarming battle that has taken over a city to the pulse-pounding beat of Ill Bill's rhythms. This is a video not to be missed.

In about two weeks, animations entered to the FOX-Aniboom Holiday Animation Challenge will be yours to view, praise, and critique!
But Aniboom’s site isn’t the only place you’ll be able to see animator’s entries or display your own. Using a new embedded player designed so you can embed their work on blogs, third-party websites, and forums independent of Aniboom’s main site, using the same high-quality player Aniboom uses on its site.
Just in time for the FOX-Aniboom contest, which begins displaying entries to the public July 15 and closes to submissions August 31, you now have the ability to display and promote animations anywhere on the internet!

AdminYou ever want something so bad you can taste it? Well, in A Telitalalat, an animation by Kosza Arnold, a soldier gets a taste of the castle he'll stop at nothing to break into. You'll see what I mean...

AdminToday's featured animation comes from Michael Rokes, who brings us a hellish marriage in the heavens. With only grunts and glares, Bruno and Bertha fight mercilessly while they live in the clowds. They may grin to passing planes but they're at each others' throats the second they fly by. Rokes's story is an all-too relatable, but no less funny, showcase for a marriage on the rocks...but up in the clowds.

Signs that the times are tight aren’t just in thinning classifieds or sputtering stock tickers—experts say that the aisles of the supermarket are the front lines of a sinking economy.
But if you think I’m talking about buying factory-second bread or a cereal called Genero’s, check out animator Stephen Leonard’s twisted take on dining for dimes…

3 movies that we're hyped about are opening this summer we thought that you'd enjoy seeing more than their trailers (although you'll find the trailers on this post as well....) The films are Coraline, Up and Where The Wild Things Are.
Enjoy ...
