Cute Gore and More

OneDotZero alum Richard Fenwick’s site is worth going back to. The classic Safety Procedures alone is worth the visit. Coining a “cute gore” animation genre, his pure animation work features an unsettling blend of soothing instructional voices (occasionally peppered with muted screams) and gruesome cartoony visuals, that make for an irresistibly chilling ensemble.

On a totally different tip, the animation / live action Sci-Fi thriller Artificial Worlds, just 7 minutes long and entirely exempt from dialogue, still succeeds in reaching Hollywood-blockbuster-levels of gripping eerieness. And for his latest offering, in the shape of comedy short Albert’s Speech, you will have to hang on in there – but check an excerpt here.
