Song: "Stompy the Bear"
Album: Hot Dog!
Description: One part knitting, one part animation, several parts awesome. If I introduced Chris Ballew to Charlotte Blacker, can I take an itty-bitty amount of credit for the resulting video?

Song: "Ti zwazo (Little Bird)"
Album: Songs in the Shade of the Flamboyant Tree
Description: OK, it's little more than a minimally animated trailer for the latest Secret Mountain book/CD set. But if you and your kids don't have a grin on your face or bounce around a bit to this Haitian nursery rhyme, then you (or they) may be having a really bad day.

Haiti, Nursery rhymes, The Secret Mountain, animals in Animation Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 1:00PM Artist: Hot Peas 'N Butter
Song: "Round the World"
Album: Hot Peas 'N Butter Volume 5 - Best of the Bowl
Description: I understand why the duo stands still for the entire song -- it's to make it easier to slide the gorgeous animation in and out on a puppet theatre-like stage. (It still looks odd to me. But I'm cranky like that.)

Hot Peas 'N Butter, Latin music, New York City, jazz in Animation, Live Action Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 12:01PM Artist: Billy Kelly
Song: "Oh My Dog"
Album: N/A
Description: A jazzy little ode to Kelly's ten-month-old Tibetan Terrier puppy, Bingley, the video makes me wonder what Kelly would have done had he had his heart stolen by you know, a sloth or cougar. You know, something harder to film. And rhyme.
