12 Awesome French Short Animations
*(Post Edit) After some big problems with my blog I post it again with 2 new features.
As an animation student I really enjoy seeing awesome short animation films and now with Internet is really easy to find new thing all the time, but why French Short Animations?, because this is one of the most creative countries in animation, it has some of the best animation schools in Europe (les gobelins, supinfo) and it’s known by its animation festivals (Annecy, Strasbourg). The French touch its really appreciated all over the world for its creativity, interest on new techniques and also for the greats scenarios represented.
They’re a varied styles, some old some new, some computer some traditional, but all of them are really good, they are in not specific order, but all the animations here have a great quality, techniques and scenario skills, and I am sure, you’ll be fan of french animation as me at the end of the post. Also you will see which is my favorite, so just go ahead and look this great collection.
Oktapodi (Gobelins)
Trying to scape of a assistant chef, two octopus find them selves into a funny runaway for theirs lives. This great animation was nominated for the Oscars Academy Award on the category of short film (animated), almost at the same level of Presto from Pixar.
Made by: Julien BOCABEILLE, François-Xavier CHANIOUX, Olivier DELABARRE, Thierry MARCHAND, Quentin MARMIER and Emud MOKHBERI
Hugh (esma)
A great animation school from Montpellier bring to us this great animation when an old shaman was telling a story to 3 young children. Ages ago, some human beings had big troubles because the sky was too low. Birds could not fly and men were bended, until one day…
Made by: MATHIEU NAVARRO, SYLVAIN NOUVEAU, AURORE TURBE and FRANCOIS POMMIEZ
Mon(s)tre (lisaa)
This is a strange story about our perception of time, it could be relative for each person or statics for others, but at the end we have so many issues with it, that it depends of us how we use it. This is an animation inspired by the universe of Myiazaki, was made as a final carrier project of a 2d animation school.
Made by: Geofforel Ridel , Yann Poyac and Charless Chneck
Blind spot (gobelins)
Another great animation from Gobelins as a third year project, this is the story of an unlucky thief get in to a market trying to make his job, but in the market an old and almost blind lady finish her purchase and go home. At the end everything could be confused, or really clear for the police.
Made by: Johanna BESSIERE , Cécile DUBOIS HERRY, Simon ROUBY, Nicolas CHAUVELOT, Olivier CLERT and Yvon JARDEL.
Pirates (Gobelins)
Another beautiful animation from this school made as an opening short for the Annecy 2006 international animation festival. Is basically 2D traditional animation with some scenes made in 3D, the result its a great and clean animation with a funny story.
Made by: Yves BIGEREL, Bruno DEQUIER, Ben FIQUET, Nicolas GUEROUX, Julien LE ROLLAND
up (Emile Cohl)
An animation based on a colorful confrontation between a young artist trying to express herself by tagging on the streets of a gray city and a boring house-painter who is constantly having to cover up graffiti, even this could be the reality of a city like Paris or New York.
Made by: Marie-Clémence Gautier
Sigg Jones (supinfo)
What could happen when the heavy weight champion wrestler Sigg Jones drinks a strange Power drink? he loses control of himself unleashing all the good he had… This is one of my favorites animations by the dynamic of the characters movements, this was made by three students from Supinfocom School in France, using 3DSmax.
Made by: Mathieu Bessudo, Douglas lassance and Jonathan Vuillemin
La main des maitres (Eesa)
From the George Mellies school as a third year animation project this is the history of two young working on the middle of a big war, trying to make the things worth for the people on the city even if they have to risk their lives, trying to make the message. A great storyline with a mix of techniques
Made by: Looky , Clément Delatre and Adrien “CaYuS” Toupet
Animadanse (Eesa)
A dream come true for a cleaning guy when he discovers a new spice of monsters who love him, he became what he’s always dreamed. A great mix between 3d animation and reality, and a good domain of the human body animation put in to a break dancer character, which is no to easy.
Made by: Julien Badoil , Bertrand de Becque and Larson Liberin de Shoriba Diop
Jungle jail (esma)
Montpelier bring to us another cool animation about a young little man who arrived in a prison where the strongest prisoner is the boss, and the other are his slaves, until the moment of the confrontation between the two principal characters, anything can happen in this prison, even you could became the most powerful guy on the place.
Made By: Mathieu Arnoux, Jugo Cierzniak , Bruce Nguyen Van Lan and Aimeric palermo
Gary (supinfo)
From Supinfo school we have this beautiful animation made in 3d but with a look 2d , the story of a little boy who is in love of his beautiful and older girl-friend, he dreams with waiting for the day when he’ll be older and she loves him back.
Made by: Yann Benedi , Quetin Chaillet and Clement Soulmagnon
A Quoi Ca Sert L’Amour (bonus1)
An old student of Les Gobelins made this great 2d animation based on Edith Piaf song. It could be your love history as a normal couple like the others, with all the good and bad things this would bring to you. The most important… right now he works in pixar.
Made by: Louis Clichy
Galactic Mail (bonus2)
A beautiful animation made by Douglas Lassance and Jonathan Vuillemin (the guys behind Sigg Jones), you’ll recognize their animation style and rhythm. This is a story about and intergalactic space race between FedEx and UPS.

We just had our family get-together last month and I recalled something that our grandparents shared to us during supper about life in general. I find that instant very precious because we were able to allocate time together and realize the importance of each other.

I usually don’t post on blogs but your weblog forced me to, awesome work… interesting
Auto insurance or Health insurance,? This doesn’t make any difference. You needs insurance policy inside this world so unfortunate when we don’t have insurance. This blog post is actually wonderful for the details on excellent rates and good firms, but I really love this blog it really broke down the important information on what i was searching for, thanks a lot for this blog and this post might be referring and coming back for more information.
I dont know who you think you are, but youre just blowing smoke out your ears. Nothing youre stating makes sense and its all a bunch of immature ranting. Should you want people to get behind your blog, you should at the very least learn a small something about what youre talking about!
Thanks for sharing your article.
Thanks for posting! I really enjoyed the report. I’ve already bookmark this article
Wow this definitely takes me back, where is your contact details hmm?

Funny, I used to be discussing this thing with my older sister the other day, now I will have a single a lot more argument in my hand when it’ll come to confrontation after again….
Auto insurance or Health insurance,? This doesn’t mean much. You actually demands insurance coverage in this society so unfortunate when we do not have insurance coverage. This particular post is actually awesome for the details on excellent rates and good firms, but I really like this blog post it really broke down the details on what i was searching for, thank you for this blog page and this post will probably be referring and returning for more info.
I admit, I’ve nat been on this page in a long time… but t’was anoda lovely experience 2 c it is such an important subject & ignored by so many.
Pratt, the reason your last book did sell was not only because it was in the self-help section…………get a clue – what could this tell-all book contain that you havent already puked all over the internet anyway……nothing…get help pyscho .
i hear what you are saying y’all! i think all these skanks should just jump off a cliff. Speaking of skanks, paris hilton is queen skank and she needs an attitude adjustment. this girl does more blow than the rolling stones and lady gaga put together. they should throw her ass in the pokey and lock her away.
Dear Hollywood actresses, if you have skinny, boney feet and long gangly toes, PLEASE dont wear open-toed shoes! It’s disgusting!
