Info and Comments:
Most of these are Charley Bowers shorts, which all feature amazing stop-motion animation that is insanely innovative for its time and often adorable. The best one is probably It's a Bird, about a bird that eats metal.
Can You Take It is a Popeye cartoon. Mr. Incredible and Pals is a special feature from The Incredibles DVD, and it's parody of old 60's cartoons.
Adicolor: Pink is about things that are pink and creepy. The Lie Chair is about a couple whose car breaks down, and they go to the nearest house, where they're forced to pretend they're an old woman's grandchildren.
Honorable mentions: Outer Space, Child Psykolojiky, Vowellet: An Essay by Sarah Vowell.
