Spacious Thoughts

This is perhaps the most specially beautiful 2D video I have ever seen.  I have often talked about the ideas of perception and parallax, but this video is just doing it right.  "Spacious Thoughts" by NASA ft. Kool Keith and Tom Waits is a tour de force of mostly 2d/flash/vector graphics.

Somewhere in Dreamland

Beautiful Fleischer Studio cartoon from 1936.  Notice the 5 layers of animation producing parallax once the children are in Dreamland.  There is a short scene on a marry-go-round that I still don't quite understand and I have been watching this since I was very young.  Also notice their blankets, or more accurately the nets they sleep in.
