Historia

Bruno Bozzetto (born 3 March 1938 in Milan, Italy) is an Italian cartoon animator, creator of many short pieces, mainly of apolitical or satirical nature. He created his first animated short "Tapum! the weapons' story" in 1958 at the age of 20. His most famous character, a hapless little man named "Signor Rossi" (Mr. Rossi), has been featured in many animated shorts as well as starring in three feature films: Mr. Rossi Looks for Happiness (1976), Mr. Rossi's Dreams (1977), and Mr. Rossi's Vacation (1977).

Animation Outlaws
Himself
Walt Disney said “We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.” Outside of Walt himself there are few people who have brought together and united more animators in the history of the genre than Craig "Spike" Decker and Mike Gribble, known to all as Spike & Mike. They created an animation festival that helped launch the careers of John Lasseter, Peter Lord, Will Vinton, Bill Plympton and Mike Judge to name just a few. Their Spike & Mike festival had an enormous impact on animation that was felt the world over. The festival was known as much for the breakthrough animation it presented as the outrageous antics of the founders.

A flying saucer summarily drops off a solitary man, Adam, on an empty planet. He explores a bit, then, it starts to rain. The saucer returns and drops a box to him marked "SOS" - it has a red button in the middle. He presses it, and the space ship drops an umbrella to him. Later he presses the button when he's hungry and when he wants companionship. The ship delivers food, a dog, a muscular companion, and finally a vivacious woman. The planet is soon populated by squalling children. Adam pushes the button again. The spaceship returns for what is probably the last time: will Adam and Eve get relief?

Grasshoppers
Director
An animated short by Bruno Bozzetto which condenses the whole of human civilization into 9 minutes, focusing primarily on the human race's predilection for warfare and the vanity of war. It was an Oscar Nominee for Best Animated Short in 1991. Each piece of history is presented as a simple vignette, usually depicting a few simply-drawn characters arguing and making war, over and over again. Generally, a single figure is meant to stand in for an entire group (i.e., a single Caesar-like caricature for the entire line of Roman Emperors). There is very little spoken dialogue; instead, most of the cartoon is accompanied by a bouncy piano-driven score, which frequently changes style to suit the particular historical era. However, the score is all based around a single simple theme, to which it frequently returns in between vignettes.

Vip, mi hermano superhombre
Author
Parodia del mundo de los superhéroes que critica además de modo irónico los estilos de vida basados en el consumismo. "Vip" no contenía el típico relato del invulnerable personaje de ficción. Los protagonistas eran los hermanos Vip, dos descendientes de una familia de superhombres. Super Vip era el ejemplar A1, el invulnerable, dueño de una amplia legión de fans y como todos los superhéroes puro en el alma y fuerte en el cuerpo. Su hermano Mini Vip, era todo lo opuesto, un acomplejado anti-héroe al cual una falla genética lo había convertido en chato, miope y con poderes bastante limitados. Eran como un Abbot y Costello convertidos en paladines de la justicia.
