I believe, the first one is based on a Mark Twain short story. Search for "Adventures of Mark Twai." The second one is titled "More", by Mark Osborne. It's also very beautiful. Too bad I am not allowed to post links here. :( I myself enjoy shorts, and found two animated ones that are pretty good. I believe, the first one is based on a Mark Twain short story.

My internet connection can't access much video. There is one short that I managed to tape off of a short-lived TV show that featured "shorts". It's a sarcastic, silly animation of a song, in the style of a childrens cartoon but it's not really for children. If anyone wants to try to find it online it's called "Jollity Farm" I think the producer/writer's last name was "Stone". I wouldn't mind hearing people's opinions about it and its subject matter.

You are right - they don't suck. Over time - the kermies were like little children trying make things the same again just by doing normal things. So sad. And Timing, excellent. Very Deja Vu. And Favorite person - perception is everyhting, eh? Keep 'em coming and thanks! Wow. You are right – they don’t suck.

The largest of them has a showing of several, if not all of the Oscar nominated short films every year. I saw there a film called 7:35 de la Manana a few years ago. It's available on YouTube with subtitles if you don't speak Spanish. It consists mainly of a song performance, which you will probably be disturbed to find sweet and catchy once you watch the whole thing. It also has one of the most mcaabre uses of confetti I've ever seen. I’m lucky enough to have three very good independent theaters in the smallish city that I live in.
