There’s nothing better than a face-full of chickens racing to the death!

“Cocotte Minute” in high-res on Stage6.

“Cocotte-Minute” is an animated movie directed by 6 students from Gobelins, l’école de l’image (Paris, France). The short was made as an opening short for the Annecy Animation Festival, which is an international meeting between professionals and people keen on animation. There was 6 months to realize the whole movie, including synopsis, storyboard, animation, rendering and so on..

This is an inspired piece of cartoony 3D. Squashy, stretchy, and well-designed, there’s no toon loonier in three dimensions. The chefs’ faces are particularly well-designed and expressive, with an economical style that works very well in 3D.

High-res Quicktimes and making-of clips at the making-of website, cocotteminute.net.

My new year’s resolution is to be French.
