The Murder of Lord Waterbook (Part One | Part Two) is a beautifully-drawn Sherlock Holmes send-up by Russian animator Alexander Bubnov. The visual style and subtle humour are both understated and perfect. Even the animation itself, which looks to be done in AfterEffects is surprisingly nuanced.

You can check out the original script and some sketches on the creator’s LiveJournal. While the film is in Russian, the version on YouTube has English subtitles.
