The Illusionist (French: L'Illusionniste) is a 2010 British-French animated comedy-drama film directed by Sylvain Chomet. The film is based on an unproduced script written by French mime, director and actor Jacques Tati in 1956. Controversy surrounds Tati's motivation for the script, which was written as a personal letter to his estranged eldest daughter, Helga Marie-Jeanne Schiel[2] in collaboration with his long-term writing partner Henri Marquet, between writing for the films Mon Oncle and Play Time.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

The main character is a version of Tati animated by several people under the lead of Laurent Kircher.[9] The plot revolves around a struggling illusionist who visits an isolated community and meets a young lady who is convinced that he is a real magician.[10] Originally intended by Tati to be set in Czechoslovakia, Chomet relocated the film to Scotland in the late 1950s.[10][11] According to the director, "It's not a romance, it's more the relationship between a dad and a daughter."[12] Sony's US press kit declares that the "script for The Illusionist was originally written by French comedy genius and cinema legend Jacques Tati as a love letter from a father to his daughter, but never produced"

A sinister magician puts on a show with the help of his reluctant assistant. She fears participating in his tricks, but ends up being happy with the results. Oh yeah, and then it turns out she actually did have reason to be afraid...

It's very funny :-)

If you think Rugby is tough then have a look at this. It's Awesome Machinima work.

Round 6 is a short 3D animated film created by Snowball Studios.
Our goal was to make a high quality video game cinematic styled trailer. In order to do this, we invented a video game called Fragball on which we based the action. The film shows an excerpt from the personal story of Snap, a Fragball gamer, as he plays out his last round – round 6.

Watch the Bobertsons and see if they get what they want for Christmas this year! Animated in a cute mockumentary style, watch how this modern family reacts when son Billy asks Dad for a Death Box for Christmas. Mom objects at first, but nothing can stop a parent's love during the holiday season. And Dad sure loves that mistletoe!

 

It's brilliant. So funny, twisted, and cute all in one movie. Enjoy. @safegaard
