Minuscule: The Insect Race

By Alex in Comics & Cartoons, Video Clips on Sep 8, 2007 at 1:22 pm

Minuscule is a fantastic animated series created by Thomas Szabo and Hélène Giraud of French studio Futurikon. The series revolve around the daily lives (and crazy shenanigans) of insects, and are like a cross between a Tex Avery cartoon and microcosmos.

In this clip above, Szabo and Giraud updated the classic Aesop’s fable The Tortoise and the Hare, with insects (and mollusk, to be technical about it): Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] | If you like that, there are more Minuscule clips on YouTube – Thanks Chris!
