Fifteen of Canada’s independent animators contributed to this wonderful piece, called Yellow Sticky Notes. They drew on post-it notes, reflecting on one day of their lives. The video features work by Marv Newland, Alison Snowden, David Fine, Cordell Barker, Janet Perlman, Chris Hinton, Paul Driessen and more.

From a tourist site for Rauris Valley, in Salzburger Land:

“Schnabelperchten are figures with long beaks, knitted jackets, patched women’s smocks and straw slippers, and are equipped with a basket on their backs, large scissors, needle and thread, along with a broom. The beak is artistically and elaborately bound from large sticks of wood and farmhouse linen. The Schnabelperchten make their way through town on the 5th of January, on the eve of Epiphany.”

By the way, they cut you open with their giant scissors if your house isn’t tidy. Better clean up before they come.

Metropolis (1927). In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city’s mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
