Here are some highly inspirational and brilliantly executed animated short films, that I find some of the best ever made. I have watched them several times, and get back to them every once in a while, if I’m looking for inspiration.

• Balance by Christoph and Wolfgang Lauenstein
• Quest by Tyron Montgomery and Thomas Stellmach
• Skhizein by Jérémy Clapin
• Madame Tutli Putli by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski
• Father and Daughter Michael Dudok de Wit
• Urs by Moritz Mayerhofer

You can watch all of these Short Films on Youtube or similar sites. I’m not sure if all of them have been officially released to the public, so I won’t link them here.
