Devilishly sweet Dionysos video

The French band Dionysos has a superb video for their song, “Tes lacets sont des fées”, with characters and animation by Joann Sfar. (Both Dionysos’s and Sfar’s sites are in French, by the way.) I love the song, I love the animation. And no, it’s not because of the nakedness.

(Found via Fantagraphics Flog.)

Update / Related: This other Joanne Sfar music video we posted a few months ago… except this one is blue/green instead of red and has no naked girls. (Matt)

    Very sweet! Reminds me a little of Night on Bald Mountain from Fantasia, perhaps my all-time favourite piece of animation.

    awesome! it looks as though sfar may have done most / all of that animation himself because of the very simple animation… ?

    That’s possible — or maybe he works with a rep who reps a production company? I dunno. Anyone have any more insight into how Sfar works?

    Notice that the bird and girl are animated in regular 2D cel, and the huge devil is animated (probably) in Flash, in a cut-paper style. Love that.
