How Judas grassed on Jesus to earn the 30 euros he needed as entry fee to Maria Magdalena's sex show. This is a fantastically blasphemous animated short. Full of violence, sex, and the kind of humour that strikes right at the heart of the self- righteous, this film has everything to inflame the Christian audience no doubt tearing this thing apart. Which is a shame, because the production is top notch, and the comedic timing is impeccable. Judas as a character is able to be sympathised with while also being the kind of despicable low-life that seems to embody most of today's oversexed youth. Any way you look at it, it is intelligent and challenging. Probably too pornographic to watch openly at work, this is still a must see. Rebellious, intelligent, sexy and constantly funny, a feature film could be made out of this material and I would lap it up. Brilliant stuff that I hope is appreciated around the world.
Speedza - The events of the short film are unfolding in a small Italian town, where two competing pizza delivery companies are fighting fiercely among themselves. The cartoon is built on a modern version of the age-old confrontation of a hare and a turtle, or rather on checking their speed characteristics. Which of them will be the first?
A city of singing cats is preyed upon by a shadowy figure intent on performing a twisted feline symphony. The Cat Piano is narrated by the main character of the animated short, an anthropomorphic cat. It is clear that the narration is a poem, which the poet is typing on a typewriter. In the beginning, we are introduced to his city's love of music and musical prowess. The poet singles out one female singer of whom he is clearly enamored, quoting her singing as "A voice that made all the angels of eternity sound ... tone deaf". Shortly afterwards we are introduced to an overbearing structure beyond the sea, appearing to be a lighthouse. Its light quickly goes out, foreshadowing malevolence.

This is a very nice anime movie. It is also known as "Wonderful Days" - Civilization has been destroyed by war and pollution, but the survivors have built the last city of Ecoban. As most natural resources have been exhausted, Ecoban is powered by pollution. The citizens of Ecoban need to continue creating this pollution leading them into conflict with the inhabitants of Marr while one man just wants to clear away the clouds and see the sky. This movie first came out in public in 2003 but the dvd came in Europe much later on (i think after 2005). The release delay on many countries maybe explains the reason why in Western countries such as the U.S. and Great Britain it was rleased under the title "Sky Blue" and in other countries under the title "Wonderful Days". Its a Koren production directed by Kim Moon-saeng. The movie includes really great quality sounds, music and computer graphics far greater than other anime movies of that time using highly detailed models for some of the backdrops into which the cel animated characters were animated. Some say that the computer graphics of this movie are comparable to those in the film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The film was scheduled for release in the US on Blu-ray disc but yet uknown when.
