Grinning Evil Death

[@Muryxkitteh]

Pretty damn amazing to realize that this short was made before WINDOWS existed, much less 3D Studio Max, or any other modeling/animation-specific 3D graphics program!

[@chumbersdee]

Back then, this was amazing graphics. I remember being mesmerized

[@albiefett]

The BEST!!! The humor is just Sublime... LOVE it when that little cereal guys turns and asks... "Can I go now?" ... Thank You for posting 😉

[@leesherman5192]

I remember that "Computer Animation Festival" tape. I rented it when I was ten because I'd seen the "Mind's Eye" tapes and was hungry for more.

[@Takeshi357]

I have that one on laserdisc!

[@hamdemon99]

Thanks for posting. I remember having this on VHS but I think I taped it from Night Flight. A terrific video, great little story and good example of how far CGI has come.

[@KudzuDigital]

Roger Montegreta I also saw it on Night Flight. Along with a Canadian customs cartoon with a pigbird.

[@GarageAntics]

Same here, I also saw it on Night Flight first! Many years later I found it on a DVD collection of animated shorts. I still love this film. It needs a sequel!

[@judsongaiden9878]

This was featured on the very first episode of Liquid Television back in 1991. I taped it (on a tape). And I had a mullet just like the kid in this video (who totally reminds me of Commander Keen).

[@largominus2011]

It's been so long since I've seen these! So cool!

[@gfernandez9285]

The soundtrack inspired me to get involved with animation

[@JarnBjorn72]

Brings back memories of my "Glory Days" in the 90s, in my early 20s! thanks much for posting!

[@georgiesdoodle4633]

Amazing animation that is looks like it came out real good in a Max Fliesher cartoon

[@slashermaster28]

I've been looking for this for a long time. Glad I finally found it.

[@coneyislandOTM]

You did a GREAT job transferring this. It looks great! Thank you!

[@Beujah]

15 years i try to find this animation, thank you so much !

[@BradleyWhite]

Thanks a lot. Glad to share such great classic CG.

[@roboguy75]

I saw this when I was 2 or 3...how did this not scar me for life?

[@LauraSquirrel]

I remember seeing this on "Liquid Television" back in the day. CLASSIC!

[@LiquidxAngel]

I have the original VHS of this still. Such a classic!

[@PhelesDragon]

“Little Mermaid rules” I mean yeah it’s a good movie

[@PRG013]

I just found that tape in a box of my old stuff.

[@glennorange]

I remember this from Night Flight waaaaay long ago!

[@TaraGothGirl]

MITEY O'S!!!

[@vonneely3693]

Watch this right before the final tank battle scene from Ghost in the Shell. You'll x2 laugh.

[@Netravick]

The Mind's Eye!

[@xretroman]

Thanks for posting this, i remember seeing this on night flight or something in the early 90s. Ive been looking for it for years trying googling cgi short super hero kid versus robot roach and nothing came up. What year was this made? Did these guys do any other ones?

[@BradleyWhite]

Hey, glad to see people still remember this little gem of early CGI. It was created by Bob Sebiston and Mike McKenna sometime in 1990, from what I can find. flatblackfilms.com/Flat_Black_Films/Films/Pages/Grinning_Evil_Death.html for more info. Sabaiston's Flat Black Films went on to create sequences for "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly" (or his companies technology 'rotoshop' was used, i'm not sure about that point)
