The End of the World

This animation shouldn't require much introduction (but maybe it does as it's kind of old and you're so young).  "End of ze World" was created by a guy called Fluid in 2003, and it was one of the early viral internet animations. In a pre-YouTube era when emailing giant swf files around or finding someone to host the animation was the way to go. Of course, we do have YouTube now so... Figured better post this before the Mayan end of the world goes down later.  Legendary.

Stop Motion History of the World

Not new, but it's Friday, so something upbeat and stopmotion-y is good.
