Pyrats!

A few years ago when I used to work for Mickey Mouse, I ran across some amazing films from Gobelins l'école de l'image in France. The one short that absolutely blew me away was Pyrats (2006). Put together by five students for Annecy '06, it's the action-packed story of pirates coming to rescue one of their own from execution. Download it in several different formats from the official site below.

Directors: Yves Bigerel , Bruno Dequier, Ben Fiquet, Nicolas Gueroux, Julien Le Rolland
Runtime: 1:35
Official site: www.pyrats.net

Gobelins.fr has an animation gallery dating back to 2002. I'll feature some of my picks in upcoming posts.
