We had a lot of great entries, but James Mason's PIGGING TELEGRAM received overwhelming praise. Everyone was impressed with the smoothness of the animation, creative use of space/movement and economical amount of shapes. It streams well and has an adorable soundtrack. I look forward to seeing all the great stuff James is going to make with his new Wacom!

Two great animated birthday wishes, with completely different approaches.  Jojo Aquino's HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! goes the tradional route featuring an adorable mouse. (Nice touch with the musical notes - solves that need for visual representation).  Aurelio Maldonado's BAMBOO BIRTHDAY is fun and different. And it features a ninja and a panda. How cool is that?

Since he participates in our Aniboom Creators Studio, he can't win anything in our current competition, but obviously, if he could, he would. Nacho Rodriguez is a  master of cartoon animation. Check out his BIRTHDAY BLOWING for a look at how it's done.
