I think it's about damn time one of our favorite independent animators who does practically everything himself deserves his own thread.

Two years ago, he released the wonderful short World of Tomorrow, which you can watch on Vimeo.

Well, just today, he released the anticipated sequel! Watch episode 2 here.

Love Hertzfeldt's work. I saw World of Tomorrow at the Show of Shows two years ago and it blew me away, and there was already a masterclass assortment of shorts in that show. Definitely need to check out the sequel now that it's available.

Whoa! I didn't know that a third one was in production.

I still need to see the second, actually.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Don has launched a Kickstarter. You can get all three episodes of WoT on Blu-Ray, and higher tiers can get you more of his shorts. The money will also be used to fund future projects.

I donated to the Kickstarter, and my Blu copy of World of Tomorrow came in!

Excited to get to these. I'll rewatch the first one before getting to the other two.
