Forgive me if this is something with which you are already familiar – I DO live under a rock, it’s true.

But, I discovered this delightful little thing today, while looking for something else entirely. It’s a little naughty, but safe for work:

The related vids are also very charming.

Heh. I was immediately reminded of Casanunder and Nanny Ogg.

That’s a short from Gobelins, one of the premiere animation schools in the world. [Here’s the website for their school](http://www.gobelins.fr/gobelins). Check out their gallery - they’ve got a ton of great shorts, there. A couple of my favorites:

[Chronos 1.0](http://www.gobelins.fr/galerie/CHRONOS-1.0)

[Fenrir](http://www.gobelins.fr/galerie/FENRIR)

Tons more of their stuff is on YouTube and other sites. Here’s another good one: [Voodoo](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xejglc_film-d-animation-des-gobelins-voodo_tech).
