One of my very favorite animated short films never fails to bring a smile (or even a laugh): [Don Hertzfeldt’s _Billy’s Balloon_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jksRQcI9NA&t=15s)

[Ryan Larkin’s _Walking_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAMtmK7ObkA) continues to amaze me:

I still laugh at [The Master Debaters: Marijuana vs. Crystal Meth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAoPBkGlFqI)
