Animation World Magazine editor Rick DeMott has gathered up the biggest breakthrough web-videos of 2008 into a nice viewable collection.
End of year/beginning of the year lists are everywhere. So in our third year of doing so, AWN lets the dust settle a bit before unveiling the web animation from the previous year that we think you need to see. Because everyone loves lists, we have two for you. To avoid prejudice, we present our ten favorite animated shorts from around the Web, and a top ten list from within AWNtv formed from the votes of our viewers. These shorts run the gamut from humorous to heartwarming. They represent growing trends in web animation, as well as celebrating viral sensations. Check out what we’ve collected for you then tell us what you think we might have missed.
