There’s something familiar about the actors in this animated video by Rhett Dashwood, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Enjoy the latest music video from Webuyyourkids. It’s for Paul Dempsey’s song, Bats.

If you haven’t already seen the video for Belgian pop band Team William’s You Look Familiar, enjoy!

Directed by Joris Bergmans and Michélé De Feudis, the video takes its cues from classic Max Fleischer cartoons with a little Super Mario Brothers thrown in for good measure.

Before you watch this insane music video by Jérémie Perin, note that is totally not safe for work. Its video-game inspired animation contains pixellated 8-bit depictions of both sex and pooping. The YouTube description reads “Think Spielberg’s Duel + Russ Meyer’s Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel’s wildest fantasies.”

But what it lacks in decorum, it totally makes up for in animated awesomeness. The look is a pixel-perfect replication of the era of video games I grew up playing. And though it’s sad that there are no more games being made that look like this, I am thrilled to be living in an age when the kids who grew up with this aesthetic are now the grown-ups making new things of their own.

Animator Mike Scott sends in this ridiculously fun music video he created for the Capetown, South Africa band Goldfish and their song Fort Knox. Made using Photoshop, Anime Studio Pro, and Final Cut.

Superb music video for the Tom Fun Orchestra, directed by Alasdair Brotherson and Jock Mooney of Trunk Animation.

It’s surprising to me that it’s been 5 years since Marcel Dzama has been mentioned on Drawn!, but what a comeback! This video for Department of Eagles was designed and co-directed (with Patrick Daughters) by Dzama. As Dustin Harbin notes in his tweet:

Beautiful + heartbreaking. It gets more so the longer you watch. I love art.

(thanks, Dustin!)

What a great way to start my day — watching this music video for Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine.

The super-powered video features the work of over a dozen different comics artists including Jordan Crane, Farel Dalrymple, the Powerpuff Girls’ Craig McCracken, Tim Sievert, Chris McDonnell, and more.

Your ears aren’t fooling you, either; Robbert is indeed the kids-music-pseudonym of Robert Schneider, better known as frontman of indie popsters Apples in Stereo.

Edit: Dan Efram writes in to add:

Robbert Bobbert is being developed into a television series by Puny Entertainment and Carolyn Suzuki, the animation team behind Nickelodeon’s Yo Gabba Gabba show and the Creative Producer who has developed and produced hits for the Disney Channel and Cartoon Network, respectively.

Illustration collective Watermark Ltd. recently collaborated on a music video for New Zealand singer Greg Johnson. I Got Opinions is a down-the-rabbit-hole journey into various strange worlds, each the work one of eight different illustrators.

It’s a fun video, but in this Age of YouTube and Vimeo, it seemed to take an incredibly loooong time to load, and then doesn’t offer any playback controls. First World problems, I know. Edit: I’ve found a YouTube version. Everybody wins.

There’s an interactive game as well, but I can’t link to it outside of the video’s Flash.

Husband and wife team Max Porter & Ru Kuwahata of Tiny Inventions created this music video for They Might Be Giants. It will be included on their Here Comes Science DVD.

TMBG have made a fantastic transition from unlikely weirdo indie popsters into a successful children’s act, and I couldn’t be more pleased, especially in how they’ve embraced animation and puppetry in their work.
