Fun With Shorts! Flowers at Work

You guys know I don't typically like to "work blue," but this short was really asking for it, if you know what I mean! 

Fun With Shorts! The Enchanted Horse

Another Mel-O-Toon. These are basically children's records repurposed into cartoons with the most limited animation possible. And there are lots of them! I've never heard this particular fable before, and this version doesn't do much to make it exciting. Maybe Guy Ritchie will direct a $200 million dollar live-action update of it for me.  2020-05-19 17:43:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Fun With Shorts! American Look 3

Sorry I'm late but it's been quite a week. I'm happy and healthy but overwhelmed by lots of things and stuff. Here's the exciting (?) conclusion to American Look! 

FWIW, I didn't chop these shorts up (This is Color 2, American Look 3, etc.), I found them this way. Now that this one's completely maybe I can cut together the full versio...

Fun With Shorts! Your Safety First [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]

May's first episode is a patron exclusive! It's a stark vision of the future (of 20 years ago) and another love letter to the automotive industry from John Sutherland. It's all about safety, you guys! 

Fun With Shorts! Venice of the North

Hey, gang! Josh here with a Monday night episode premiere just for my patrons. I like this short, it's Europy and weird and gives me a chance to dig through some unusual material. 

I hope everyone's getting along alright. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you've all stuck with me through these difficult months. I'll never ...

Fun With Shorts! This Is Color 2

Perhaps you were under the impression that THAT was color? This movie respectfully and assertively disagrees. 

Fun With Shorts! King Calico

Get ready to meet your new friends from the Calico Kingdom! Will their shrill, rambling adventures be an instant FWS classic or the last straw before a devastating mental collapse? Only one way to find out! 

Fun With Shorts! Working Dollars [Patreon Exclusive]

Here's our patrons-only episode for April, another cartoon love sonnet to capitalism from John Sutherland. Sixty dollar raise!! 

Fun With Shorts! Dots [Patreon Freebie!]

Here's an odd little experiment for you on a cozy Friday night. I don't riff a lot of silent movies, but this weird little thing seemed like a worthy exception. 

Thanks for your support! It is deeply appreciated.

Fun With Shorts! When You Grow Up

This week's short is an extremely 70's movie about growing up and having a job. It actually doesn't get much deeper into it than that previous sentence does. 

Hey, I hope everyone is safe and happy, and if I haven't said it yet thanks so much for sticking with me through these weird days. I hope the videos give you a benign distractio...

Fun With Shorts! Kingdom of Plastics

Welcome to the Plastickest Place On Earth! 

Temporary Change in Posting Schedule

Hey, pals! Just checking in to let you know that for the next few weeks I'll be posting the new Fun With Shorts video each week on Tuesday instead of Monday. Sorry for the slight delay and I'll do my best to continue to meet your riffing needs on a regular basis! This week's short is already written, I just need to get some time in the studio to...

Fun With Shorts! The Human Dynamo

Lone Ranger and Tonto are back to foil the latest out-of-control tech CEO!

Fun With Shorts! Pork People Like

You're going to learn a lot from this week's short, like the phrase "meat type hog" and the word "growthy." I'm so very sorry.

Fun With Shorts! Staying Away From Strangers

Happy March! Here's a weird one.

Fun With Shorts! The Factory: How a Product Is Made

This film causally implies that there was ever such a thing as a Jack-in-the-Box that didn't play music. Like, how did that work? Insane, reckless assertion, no follow-up. Bonkers.

Fun With Shorts! Finding His Voice

Cartoons!

Fun With Shorts! The Skeleton

I found this one when I was searching for Halloween shorts. It's substantially less scary and more pro-skeleton than I anticipated.

Fun With Shorts! American Look 2 [Patreon Exclusive!]

Happy February, I guess?

Fun With Shorts! Your Junior High Days

It's hard being a kid, and here's a movie to remind you all about it! 

Fun With Shorts! The Butcher, The Baker, The Ice Cream Maker

The classic tale, stupidly reimagined as an ice cream commercial!

Fun With Shorts! Play in the Snow

A day late and several dollars short, but here I am with this week's episode. It's been uncharacteristically not very snowy here in southern New York this winter, so I'll just have to live vicariously through the tots in this week's short.

Fun With Shorts! He Didn't Have Time

He didn't have time to buy the right products, you guys. Here's your first exclusive short of 2020! 

Fun With Shorts! Bulletin Boards

Every time I type "Bulletin Boards" it comes out "Bulleting Boards." Every cursed time.

Anyway, Bulletin Boards!

Fun With Shorts! Crack of Doom

So last week I said "see you next year," but... surprise! Here's a new treat: a further Lone Ranger adventure, sans the Lone Ranger. Join Tonto as he TRAVELS THROUGH TIME by... running to a place?

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and general winter-adjacent wishes of well-being and good cheer to all of you and yours. 

Christmas Goodie: A Visit From St. Nicholas!

Here's a holiday freebie for all my Patreon pals. Thank you so much for your continued support, it means a lot to me! Have a great holiday, if you're into it. 

Fun With Shorts! Spunky the Snowman

Merry Christmas! I got you Spunky the Snowman. No returns. 

Fun With Shorts! How Quiet Helps at School

You guys watch Coronet movies?

Fun With Shorts! Fundamentals of Acoustics [Patreon Exclusive!]

A snow day here in NY means I can deliver this a little earlier than usual.  Here's your exclusive episode for December.  Thanks for your support! 

Fun With Shorts! Helping Johnny Remember

You didn't think I'd send you off to Thanksgiving weekend without a new short, didja? This one's about helping Johnny remember not to be a total jerkface. Hmm, maybe some kind of... Johnny mnemonic? (I'll show myself out.)
