Sharing some animators and their works that I like.
No franchises,
no parodies of franchises,
just small group works or experimental animations.
First up,
"Oh Willy", Stop Motion animation, pic related.

I think I'm done for now, if you're having trouble finding or getting into more indie type animation I recommend searching animation on Vimeo before searching on youtube. There is also a site called Short of the Week which usually picks their top videos on vimeo.
Hope you enjoy any of them.

Thanks for posting these OP, hopefully it kicks off a general indie animation and Cartoon shorts thread, there's loads on Youtube and they can be easy to miss.
