The Cutest Animation…Ever?


Animatic 9.0 with sound from Robo-san on Vimeo.

There are so many cute things online, it can be kind of overwhelming sometimes. 

So when this animation update from Robo-san and Wan-chan popped into my inbox this weekend, I just about keeled over from cute-shock. The animated short depicts Eric Hibbeler’s Japanese children’s book of the same name, the story of a robot who loses his dog to the stratosphere during a game of frisbee and the journey to reunite that ensues. The creators, all students at Kansas City Art Institute (and probably future Pixar employees), have been consistently posting video updates of their progress on Vimeo, and backers of the project are invited to send comments and critiques, plus vote for the upcoming poster design (which will probably be *really* cute).
