"As we hear the chimes at midnight and bats flutter from a belfry; as a hound howls at the full moon and black cats brawl on the tombstones; Through the gloom, white skeletons pass, Running and leaping in their shrouds!"

This one's called Fox And The Whale, and it's a really wonderful bit of animation. Robin Joseph, its creator, has combined some impressively photorealistic images and backdrops with an entirely unrealistic (but charming) fox on a guest for an elusive whale—a metaphor, perhaps, of its search for something else?

"Deep in the forest of Overland Park, Kansas little gnomes made a home. But how did they get there? Experience the feel-good story of paying it forward, one tiny magical house at a time."

"In a dystopian world where books are banned and fossil fuels completely consumed, the ruling corporations confiscated all the books to burn them and generate energy. However, in New York City there is an underground group of ex scientists, writers and artists who remember the books and risk their lives to find and save them from being destroyed." 

This month, I'm posting another Goofy instructional short—"How to Swim"—because it's also hilarious and a big part of my childhood (and because I relatively recently took its advice and learned how to swim and I'm still pretty proud of that.)
