The Animation Show
Encyclopedia
The Animation Show is a touring festival of animated short films that was first held in fall 2003. It was created by award-winning animators Mike Judge
and Don Hertzfeldt
.
Following the demise of other American touring festivals of animation, such as Spike and Mike's Classic Festival of Animation
,In the early 2000s, Spike and Mike phased out their general "Classic" festival of animation, but retained their adult "Sick and Twisted" festival; thus general animation did not have an outlet through this channel. the stated purpose of the Animation Show was to bring animated short films back into proper cinemas, where most of them were intended to be seen, and to "free these artists from the dungeons of Internet exhibition". It was the first-ever festival of animation to be curated by working animators and was described as a "passion project" by its creators, not something intended to turn a giant profit. A sister series of Animation Show DVD volumes are also available, but the producers stress that the theatrical and DVD lineups are intentionally a little bit different, to encourage audiences to not just wait for the DVD but to visit the cinema and view these films properly. As stated on the Animation Show programs and flyers, once the current edition of the Show is out of theaters, it's "gone forever".
Mike Judge
and Don Hertzfeldt
programmed the first three Animation Show programs together. Don Hertzfeldt
parted ways with the festival in 2008 and the fourth season of the Animation Show was released without his involvement.
In June of 2009 the Animation Show announced its next, and fifth, program would be released in 2010. As of 2011 there have been no new Animation Show programs or activity.
