Need a good laugh??

Last Saturday night HRH Liz spotted this Gem on SBS. It's an award winning short animation about a cane toad lost in Australia. Unfortunately I missed the start but googled tonight and found the animation on the net. If your even the slightest bit Australian you'll get a real laught out of this one.
here's a short list of the awards this film has won.

St Kilda Short Film Festival Best Comedy (2003)
Queensland Young Filmmakers Awards Best Animation, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Screenplay. (2002)
Triple J 'Frame Breaks' (Open Section)
Currumbin Short Film Festival Best film, Best animation, Best Screenplay (2003)Woodford Folk Short Film Festival Best Film, Audience Favourite (2002)
Jamie's Espresso Bar Short Film Festival Best Film (2002)
Blue Mountains Short Film Festival Best Film (2nd place) (2003)
CG Talk 'Choice Award' Feburary 2003
Sydney Film Festival Dendy Awards Nominated Best Animated Short (2003)
International 3d Awards (Copenhagen) Best Animated Short Nomination (2003)
Australian Film Institute Awards Best Animated Short Nomination (2003)
Inside Film (if) Awards Best Animated Short Nomination (2003)

for those who are interested there is some excellent stuff on how the animation was done.


Warning it's a big download (31.7mb for the divX version) and some language may offend.
