Animation Xcess (2013)
Every year we get more than 2,000 entries and - trust us - there is some REALLY wild stuff in there. Animation is the art form that really cuts loose, supercharges and celebrates some of the wildest imaginations on the planet. It is THE vehicle to visualise the most improbable notions, the most radical of creative transitions and to throw up on the screen the most over-the-top ideas. Late Night Bizarre is a great wharf to tie some of those boats up at but not every uber-animation fits that vibe. Enter "Animation Xcess", a home for the extreme idea, the impossible-to-describe plot and the bona fide bubbling-over-the-brim excess of imaginative animating juice.
Double Fikret Haiyang Wang Beyond description. A gorgeously crafted, magic carpet ride of apparently random surrealist imagery that would have tied Salvadore Dali's imagination up in knots. China

Deep Awakening Shizuka Miyazaki 11 outa 10 on the Bizarre-A-Meter. A weird little creature succumbs to a kind of animated decomposition before the entire scene is overrun by competing herds of teeth and wriggling thumbs. Japan
