It's like watching Saturday morning cartoons again, only they're teaching you something, they're on a much bigger screen and without the commercials.

It's such a delight it makes you wonder why there aren’t more compilation programs like this circulating.

The Animation Show has something for everyone. It just doesn't have the power to make everything equally enjoyable.

It's hard to give much credit to a 'new' animation compilation that has highlights dating back 10, 20 and, yes, 45 years.

Judge and Hertzfeldt don’t seem to have any criteria in mind beyond selecting stuff they like.

Less about yuks than about the fine-arts aspect of animation.

Animation fans, no matter their stylistic preference (computer-generated, claymation, old-school hand-drawn), will find much to sate their appetites in this collection of award-winning and critically acclaimed work.

Boasting six Academy Award nominees for best animated short, the program richly rewarded its audience with comedy, kitsch, and wisdom.
