@jessebean13 - I definitely do, and this definitely qualifies. Thanks for sharing this with me.

I see what you mean about disturbing, but thinking if it is pointing a finger at some real behaviour of Humanity, then we all should be disturded and worried.
Very well done though! I have seen other work by these people, equally weird and disturbing...

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Real life keeps intervening. So rude of it :P

@Serendip - indeed, that was disturbingly brilliant part I was referring to - that it is sort of an allegory. I haven't seen anything else by this director, but I'll hunt these down immediately. Any links?

@nightiscoming - Definitely worth doing so :)

@Joseph_Leonardson I don't think I can point you in the right direction... I remember biplanes dogfighting and coming to the base of one of them, and a bunch of wierd stuff happening like in this one, it's long ago and images fade... Just as well we have a good supply of new ones right :)
I'm sure I remember the officer dude at the top of the tower that throws the young ones off was in it. Argh so frustrating hehe.

Sorry @Serendip I'm not sure how I missed you're response. I promise I wasn't ignoring you. [insert embarrased smiley thingey here]

I had planned on going on a google hunt for more from these folks, but...apparently that slid by too :)

I have a feeling THE WORX from THE WALL really began a revolution
in animation...
Interesting post~

Oops! I missed these comments. So sorry.

@phainopepla95 - Indeed! I'm still mining gems out of there. Great group.

@JustAsoul - I DO remember. And I agree - the animation in The Wall was definitely seminal/cutting edge at the time, and it's still a remarkable work of art. Great link! Thank you!
