: Just animated?

: Edited clips, shorts and/or features?

: IMO, the best would be a healthy balance of diverse aesthetics clips with a heavy sprinkle of animation and good Burton.  Clips can dazzle.  Length will drag.  The only place for full stories, shorts or features, is in the basement's theatre.

YouTube playlists curated by Jason Carswell to start pulling stuff from:

◉ ANIMATION ◉
♫ Hallowe'en Shoundz ♫

YouTube fan-edited videos by Khameleon808:

The Apple Tree II Feat. The Glitch Mob

Day (for kids)

All kid-friendly clips or short videos.

Night (for adults)

Just animated?
Edited clips, shorts and/or features?
IMO, the best would be a healthy balance of diverse aesthetics clips with a heavy sprinkle of animation and good Burton. Clips can dazzle. Length will drag. The only place for full stories, shorts or features, is in the basement's theatre.
