Very cool to see Hertzfeldt do more of these curations. And the return of the excitable fluffy dudes!
A minor correction— The Animation Show volumes one and two DID get DVD releases. I’ve got volume one right here in my office.
The Big Snit is one of my favorite cartoons ever, and to see more animation from Bruce Bickford will be intriguing. For those interested, there’s a documentary about him called Monster Road. (On DVD only, but I ordered my copy from the filmmaker’s website.)

Love Hertzfeldt's stuff. Billy's Balloon is pure pathos!

Pat Alexander - this is my first time hearing of Don Hertzfeldt, although I may have seen some of his work unknowingly. I do appreciate you sharing this article. Maurice Vaughan at one point suggested I consider doing anthology, so I feel like this article came just in time to get more information of the process and how other's are approaching it.

Pat Alexander - thank you for sharing the link to his YouTube channel. Stage32 has done a great job with getting me caught up to speed with different innovators in the animation space. One of the things I love about this platform, a one stop shop on being educated.
