I brought this topic up last summer, and ANer Ari who goes by Bloodwind on the Forums started a topic on the same subject.
North Korea has a long tradition of producing quality animation. Although almost all of it is wrapped in political propaganda, it is none the less very fine work that I'm happy to bring to a wider awareness by featuring it here on AN's homepage. This topic is being developed with more North Korean animation and you're welcome to follow it here. Meanwhile, let's take a look at what Bloodwind brought to our attention. There's no translation or subtitles available and I don't know when it was made, but the quality of animation can still be appreciated as well as the message that the regime is trying to convey.

Here's a video I discovered recently that went online a couple of years ago and is well worth sharing as it gives us a good look inside Pixar's studio, including John Lasseter's office and a glimpse at their swimming pool and volleyball court. It's from CNN and was taped when Pixar was producing 'Up'.
