One of the best short films I have seen in recent memory was by Jim Trainor, magic marker animator extraordinaire. He renders the lives of animals in big bold lines: the choices they make seem fated by instinct, yet the brutal course of their lives is mediated by gentle self perception and sometimes god.
A tiny piece of one short may be found here: http://www.vdb.org/smackn.acgi$artistdetail?TRAINORJ
Another absolutely amazing film maker is Jim Jennings who offers us "crystalline moments of observation and the most kaleidoscopic and revealing of abstractions" and "discovers boxes within boxes, frames within frames, new dimensions, new perspectives and wonder after wonder.”
