Film
The Triplettes of Belleville
Released: 2003
Production Company: Canal+ / Les Armatures
Director: Sylvain Chomet
Animation Type: Full Traditional
Demographic: Anyone above 13 due to PG-13 rating
Purpose: To entertain and induce a sense of nostalgia
This film is among my favourites mainly due to it's surreal and charming characters.
It uses very little dialogue throughout the film, instead conveying emotion beautifully through movement and facial expression. It's a highly stylised film, and one which i intend to watch again.

Web Series
Salad Fingers
Released: 2004
Produced & Directed by: David Firth
Animation Type: Flash
Demographic: Internet using teens - adults
Purpose: Light entertainment, something a bit different
Upon my first viewing of Salad Fingers, i remember feeling both uncomfortable and bewildered by the freaky green man and his 'touchy-feely' tendencies. The series soared in popularity in 2005 and is now one of the most viewed web animation series ever.

Music Video
On Melancholy Hill - Gorillaz
Released: 2010
Animation Type: Mixed
Purpose: To continue the Narrative story of the band
One of my favourite songs of all time, On Melancholy Hill tells the story of a pivotal moment in the lives of the animated band. It's interesting to see the progression of the characters through animation since their creation in 1998
Advert

Although the banks name has been somewhat tarnished of late, the advert remains a charming watch - with music that will stick in your head.
