I just got back from seeing The Animation Show at Kansas City’s local independent movie theatre Screenland.

This was the first time I’ve been to see The Animation Show and I really liked it. It was a great ecclectic mix of animations. It’s hard to pick a favorite amongst them because each had some quality about it that I really liked. City Paradise had a very surreal quality about it that I enjoyed watching. Everything Will Be OK started out as a cute animation then turned kind of skitzo towards the end which was interesting and had some good chuckling points interspersed throughout. I really liked Collision with it’s mandala like graphics … very well done. Dreams and Desires had me chuckling throughout. And since I grew up in the age of arcade games like Pac Man, Centipede and the like … I really got a kick out of Game Over. The only one I didn’t really like and didn’t get was Rabbit, but hey … all animations don’t appeal to everybody.

There’s quite a few more great animations in the show too, so if The Animation Show comes to your town be sure to check it out.
