[iiiHafcia]

OMG THERE IS A PEDOBEAR HERE. never knew he's that old : o

[ilovegnomeland]

It's reminds me of M.C. Escher and Dali.

[lmesa1987]

wow reboot all the way

[LikaLaruku]

I suddenly feel like watching Reboot.

[hilby]

The freaky metal dancing woman looks like she belongs on a Woman's Health Clinic sign

[nickosharp]

I was about ten years old when these were in their prime airin on ytv insteadf of conventional commercials, they were always the shti.

[machiner6]

I happened to notice that parts of this were recycled from Imaginaria, perhaps.

[Duvmasta]

Thumbs up if you think the animators were high making this?

[Keitaro2011]

Fuck, dude! You're awesome for uploading these!

[csicsinka]

i was freaked out when i was a child, and today.....its the same, but im amazed.

[Maxxorz]

I was a kid and I remember renting this probably a dozen times as a VHS from Block Buster when I was less than 10 years old... I never understood what I was watching btu it fascinated me. Now I'm a senior environment artist at a video game studio making Xbox 360 and PS3 games... Amazing, really!

[0SukMunky0]

This is so legendary. I remember watching these as a tiny kid. It NEVER made sense but it was so damn cool!

[freak49]

I was working in Media Services at my college when this came out and we would get LOADS of this stuff through our office; Autodesk, Lightwave demo reels. It was a great time to be into electronic media and video then - everything was new!

[AustinOnSugar]

I seem to recall a slightly different set of annimation for parts of this. Anyone remember some sort of "Wasp hunter" bit at around 1:34 or so?

[MrShrum]

@AustinOnSugar Yeah, you're not alone there. Been years so it's only a vague memory for me, but perhaps there were different versions of the video released at the time.

[Keitaro2011]

@AustinOnSugar I think that's from another video.

[Master1950]

To those that don't know....when these videos were made back in 1989-1990 it took a whole ROOMFUL of computers to produce these! Now one can do it with a desktop! People have no idea what it took to make these wayyy back then and how far we have come in computing power! When I first saw these in 1989 I was blown away not only with the visuals but the music was wonderful! I still love listening to it today!

[northey420]

I was 6 - 10 when these were out and i am remembering every Short Circuit now...this is crazy

[crazyguitarkid77]

thumbs up if this part of the vid used to freak the fuck out of you

[TehDrehstuhl]

@crazyguitarkid77 I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[shoshanish]

@crazyguitarkid77 mor elike fascinate.

[shoshanish]

@crazyguitarkid77 *hell, the whole thing facinated me, it might of even be the thing that jump started my immense imagination and curiosity, which lead to my cravings for knowledge, which let the the small genuiss of todayt :D (age 12, basicly handed my old teacher homework, she thought antarctica was an iceburg)

[wudang23]

i miss ytv short circutz

[machiner6]

lol, the robots in the escher picture just step onto a wall and their gravity changes!

[CapeRayer22]

Is This Art Of Noise doing the music?

[Mazryonh]

Thanks again to the uploader for preserving these artistic amazements on youtube for the benefit of the world. Beauty like these CGI shorts should not be allowed to die.

[machiner6]

there's something inscribed on the right shoulder of the robots at 3:15. what is it?

[machiner6]

this one's my favorite out of all the others.

[SilverGummiShark]

I seem to recall portions of this clip on The Mind's Eye, but with different audio - the wooden mannequins on the unicycles, especially. I also think the song was "The Box" by Orbital...but maybe I had another VHS version?

[ILLSONTV]

do you know why this version has the people on the stairs when the music changes instead of the hornet...i cant find the original version of the minds eye

[machiner6]

@ILLSONTV I'm trying to draw something more complicated than the MC Escher scene: A whole city, huge in size, but parts of it are sideways. The dancing robots I love personally. Is there a CD of this?

[chazmanization]

@machiner6 THE CD IS BY MIRMAR RECORDS. GO AHEAD AND BUY IT ONLINE.

[shorty1k]

I remember playing Warioware for the Wii and seeing these strange dancing people, which made me feel REALLY nostalgic, and I couldn't tell why! NOW I know it was because of watching this!

[x13killer]

I was brainwashed with the VHS version when I was younger. Lol

[welfarehobo]

do you know why this version has the people on the stairs when the music changes instead of the hornet...i cant find the original version of the minds eye

[levarthomasmusic]
