My Strange Grandfather - Neatorama

This delightful animation is from Dina Velikovskaya of the Russian State University of Cinematography (VGIK). A child can't understand why her weird grandfather spends so much time picking up trash from the beach. Then his secret is revealed! It's lovely when children finally realize how wonderful it is to have strange grandparents. -via Metafilter

Fantastic!

That is an ambitious piece for an animator working at any level, let alone for a student project, but she achieved it well.

Ugh, geez. Some memes just won't die an honorable death...

AM I the only one who finds keyboard cat to never have been funny?

But this one is flammable.

So what if it's an old meme? The papercraft is cute as hell.

It's always good to see new stuff from TubbyPaws. :D

(Sigh). So those that don't get the Keyboard Cat joke, it's basically a throwback to the Vaudeville shows. When someone's act failed to inspire, the actor was yanked offstage, and usually replaced by a trained monkey juggling or something. Hence KC stepping in after someone FAILs in a video.

When have we indicated that we don't know what it is a reference to? That was kinda condescending. It's just not funny, it's not funny because it has no humor to it, not because we don't understand it.

Condescending? I was going for pedantic, but whatever works. :P

I was unfamiliar with that particular keyboard cat meme, so I assume others may be, as well.

I just thought it was another odd cat craft.
