Wonkette Movie Night Animated Shorts Collection
Because no pants are allowed!
A poll just for fun.
NEW RESULTS AND A NEW ROUND OF VOTING, two boxes to choose from with the 8 semi-finalists. Ties were settled via a random number pick.
There are 19 shorts here, 18 are listed in the order they were originally posted starting with the most recent and going backwards in time. The 19th is a new one added to this post. I can only give you five options at a time, so vote in each of the four boxes. I will then narrow it down a couple more times till we get the top one. Each round of polling lasts a day. Come back to ziggy’s stack for another round of voting from the top eight (2 each from the four boxes Jan. 1.) Then onto the final four(Jan. 2) with a winner declared by Saturday’s Movie Night(Jan.4) showing of the The Fifth Element. IANAP (I am not a pollster.)
Come back tomorrow for the FINAL FOUR!

One time donation so I can do more fun things like this:
Neato shorts AND The Fifth Element?
SUPER GREEN. This meat popsicle approves.
It is hard to choose. These are all so good. I'm up to Box 3 now and that group is proving particularly tough. I think I will always choose "Cat and Moth" no matter what's grouped with it, but "Code Rose" is tied with it in my estimation in this grouping.
