I have a weakness for this kind of retro looking animations, this nicely executed short was created by Matthew Kalinauskas for his animation programme studies at the Sheridan Institute of Technology in 2008, with music by Monica Corey. the use of colour blocks in the backgrounds, the colour palette and even the boiling line, all have that warmth of early animation that could only be achieved by cell painting.

In fact if you dig around Matthew's blog you'll see that all his illustrative work has those qualities. I was looking at his side project Mime: A True Story, which I have to say I can't wait to see, and you can still see the same tone of voice, even though is a completely different project, his style is very robust and consistent.
