For the first of the Tumblr Finds, here are nine animated shorts that I reblogged during 2013 (all 9 were released that year):

Onion (dir. Erin Kim)

"We just can’t get enough of the beautiful work coming out of CalArts’ Character Animation Program. Lucky for us they’ve created a Channel to gather all the animated goodness in one place." - from original Vimeo Tumblr

Wolf Within (dir. Alex Horan)

"Alex Horan’s Wolf Within grabs the viewer with its opening line: “As a boy in Kansas I was afraid of three things: rattlesnakes, tornados, and my father.” The short doesn’t let up, hitting all the right emotional beats throughout its nine-and-a-half minute length and exhibiting maturity and ambition that are rare for a student filmmaker." - Amid Amidi (Cartoon Brew)

Dumb Day (dir. Kevin Eskew)

"Dumb Day is difficult to describe. The film uses a man’s everyday activities as its launchpad, just as Robert Breer’s classic A Man and His Dog Out for Air used a familiar activity as its starting point, but Dumb Day deconstructs and reconstucts daily trifles into a comically cosmic journey." - Amid Amidi (Cartoon Brew)

C2C - “Delta” by On and On Records

"Staff Pick Alums C2C and CRCR join forces for a music video of mythical proportions." - from original Vimeo Tumblr

“Fake Love” by O Conqueror (dir. Christophe Thockler)

"A toy car escapes from a house and goes on an adventure in the charming stop motion music video for “Fake Love” by O Conqueror. The animation was created by Christophe Thockler. We previously posted about Thockler’s stop motion music video for “Favorite Place” by the Black Books." - E.D.W. Lynch (Laughing Squid)

“義足のMoses” (dir. ががめ (Gagame))

"Found this on The Browser (they refered to it as “Moses Supposes (Tapdance)”) a couple days ago - it’s a cute animation of a Japanese ghost girl following a pair of dancing tap shoes to the song “Moses Supposes” from Singin’ in the Rain (as sung by Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor)." - (original write-up I wrote in 2013)
