In this episodic animated fantasy from France, an art teacher interprets a series of six fairy tales (each involving a prince or princess) with the help of two precocious students. Princes and Princesses was created using a special style of cutout animation, with black silhouetted characters performing the action against backlit backdrops in striking colors.

Night in an old mill is dramatically depicted in this Oscar-winning short in which the frightened occupants, including birds, timid mice, owls, and other creatures try to stay safe and dry as a storm approaches. As the thunderstorm worsens, the mill wheel begins to turn and the whole mill threatens to blow apart until at last the storm subsides.

2004 animated short film directed by Tomasz Bagiński

As in the classic fable, the grasshopper plays his fiddle and lives for the moment, while the industrious ants squirrel away massive amounts of food for the winter. With his song, he's able to convince at least one small ant until the queen arrives and scares him back to work. The queen warns the grasshopper of the trouble he'll be in, come winter. Winter comes, and the grasshopper, near starvation, stumbles across the ants, who are having a full-on feast in their snug little tree. They take him in and warm him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them. Written by Jon Reeves

1979 short film

The odd biography of Harvie Krumpet, a man who has Tourette's Syndrome, chronic bad luck, menial jobs, nudist tendencies, and a book of "fakts" hung around his neck - but still optimistically lives own way and enjoys the small things life has to offer.

I was absolutely floored for the six minutes that I spent viewing "The Bead Game". Using nothing more than cheap decorative beads, we are given a short history on the development of the animal side of nature. The end of "The Bead Game" was powerful statement on how animalistic and brutal humans are toward one another. In the twenty-five years since this short film was made, humans have advanced their intelligence in the areas of weaponry, brutality, and violence. It seems the most obvious and significant advance has been the marketing of mass media that seems to glorify violence. "The Bead Game" stands a sort of a testament and a warning that humanity is on a doomed path if we continue forth in the areas of war and destruction. I give this animated masterpiece a 10 out of 10! PS: There are laws of war and revolution. One is the law of unintented consequences. You have to bevery careful when you come upon a proverbial Pandora's Box. Once you choose that open that box, you don't completely expect every aftershock that will be wrought from it and it will take a very long time to overcome them.

有趣的故事。随着开关一开一合，发生了奇怪的事。离奇。

俩个小蛆竟然成了英国动画界宠儿，分别在BBC2节目休息间隙和电影《鼠国流浪记》中出现。

本部动画短片，以沙画为表现手法，改编自中国著名民间传奇故事——“白娘子永封雷峰塔”一段。短短五分多钟的影片中，水墨风格的画面再一次向我们描绘着这段旷世奇恋。清明时分，柳岸花红的西湖岸边，断桥之上。化身女子的白蛇邂逅书生许仙。可相知相爱的爱恋却如此短暂，终化作泣歌当哭的悲剧。白蛇变成了狰狞的巨兽，许仙成为道德的压制者。本片以现代意义重新解读了，这段凄美爱情的抗争与破灭。 《白蛇传》的传说源远流长，家喻户晓，是中国四大民间传说之一。

本动画片用幽默手法讲述了人类生育的故事。 新生命开始的第一步是精子与卵子的结合，女性的生理特点决定了生育周期，但并非女性在排卵期间卵子就能受精，决定之的条件还包括精子的数量、质量、温度、酸碱度以及男女交媾的时长、有无采取避孕措施等。卵子成功受精后，形成的受精卵的性别由精子（所含性染色体的类型）决定，而胚胎变成胎儿、婴儿（新生命）诞生，则需要约九个多月的时长，期间，女性腹中的胎儿可从来不会老老实实地呆着。
