The team at Elastic and The Red Cross ponder the concept of ‘stuff’ in this stylish, new holiday-themed PSA. The 60-second piece was directed by Andy Hall.

MTV just ripped a page from the Jem animation guide to help us all keep the creepy crawlies from invading our bathing suit areas. I’m talking about wicked plagues like herpes and AIDS, and to help stave them off, the team at Parasol Island have crafted this animated PSA for the germany MTV market. It’s titled Sex Is No Accident:

Following up on their short Vésuves, the French animation team CRCR have revealed a new PSA for Amnesty International. The heartbreaking, traditionally-animated piece was produced in conjunction with WIZZprod°. You’ll also see the inclusion of some photographic elements, visually splitting the worlds of good vs evil.

The team at GlossyRey Animation and Design have barfed out a new animated short that urges us to give up meat. Nemanja Zivkovic came up with the story for Be a Vegetarian, and Stanko Stupar provided the animation. Lots of background on the piece and sketches over at the GlossyRey site.

Mikkel Mainz directed this animated PSA during his studies at the Animation Workshop in Viborg. Tine Rinberg, a third-year student, was the animation lead on the project.

Chloe Stenopee Nicolay is currently studying at Gobelins in Paris, and over a 4 week period she produced this short below for the Cartooning For Peace initiative. It’s a project begun at the UN that challenges political cartoonist to help the world “unlearn intolerance,” and many Gobelins students are taking part.

Here Nicolay touches on a topic I personally have little tolerance for, as I’m sure you do as well. It’s about the rampant amount of pedophilia inside the church, and how the issue is often brushed aside by authorities. Just disgusting – a grotesque atrocity inside an institution blindly trusted by so many.
