I’ve just been sent this link to some truly stunning Flash animation, created by former Disney animator Adam Phillips: www.biteycastle.com (obviously, you need Flash to view)

There’s some scary stuff here — part of a wider project this Australian creator has come up with. His home site is: brackenwood.net, another well worth checking out.

Back in 1988, Adam managed a team of animators through several major Disney sequels but it was his discovery of Flash in 2000 that led him to his current creations.

Brackenwood is clearly a labour of love and I hope the feature film he’d like to make becomes a reality.
