No human characters - not even in the background.
No human voice actors - all the animal sounds were taken from real animals.
Made entirely in Blender - without storyboards, by the way.



Win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

The ground is deep with fallen leaves and nuts of White and Red Oak, and of Beech, that line and fill the footprints and the ruts which all along the wooded pathway reach. First claim, of course, to chipmunk and to squirrel for bleak mid-Winter sustenance belongs, as all around old leaves descend and twirl about, through feathered autumn songs.

I recently saw the three Lords of the rings at the movie house this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday I saw The Fellowship of the Ring, which originally came out in 2001, on Saturday I saw The Lords of the Rings: the two towers which originally came out in 2002 and on Sunday I saw The Lord of the Rings: The return of the Kings, which originally came out in 2003. Movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien classic novels.  :)

PONTYPOOL (Canada, 2008)

Grant Mazzy (Stephen McHattie) is a new "morning drive time" DJ at a small town radio station in rural Ontario. Stopped at a traffic light on his way into work one snowy February morning, he is accosted by a woman. She bangs on his passenger side window, shouts something incomprehensible, and then vanishes.

At the station, Mazzy leads off his show by recounting that incident, and asking for people to call in with their own strange stories.

He doesn't get any responses, but the morning is going to get much stranger - and scarier.

This is not your ordinary zombie movie; the zombie pathogen is not transmitted in the usual way. That makes it all the scarier. Being set at a small radio station that operates out of a church basement, the claustrophobia only heightens the tension. Everything happens in and around that one building - and there are only three people in the main cast.

What the hell is going on out there? Why aren't there any official news or government reports on the events? Why are only French-Canadian troops being sent in?

Worth looking for - especially if you like zombie movies.
