The world needs more animation

I've always thought there should be more animated music videos in the world. Everything else is the same old crap. Sing in microphone. Tap feet. Look like you're having a good time or stare pensively off camera. BOR-RING!

Maybe Arcade Fire agrees with me. Toronto-based animation studio, Plates Animation Inc., animated the band's video for "Neighbourhoods #3 (Power Out)" (via Stereogum). It's not a bad video, (a little too violent for my tastes,) but it is a better animation than the Plates video for The Shins' "So Says I" which involves shady penguins.

My favourite animation comes from Delicious 9, the studio does all the work for Caribou (formerly known as Manitoba). When I saw the band at the Rivoli a couple weeks ago, I was impressed by the new animations. You can watch the new video/music promo for "Yeti," from the their new CD, The Milk of Human Kindness.
