Animated Music Videos

Animated Music Videos is hosted by online network Crackle. It brings together some of the world’s best animated film clips.

When wonderful musicians pair up with innovative animators, the resulting music videos are a delight for the senses. The channel features an eclectic mix of music, but it tends to focus on indie rock. Bands featured include The Raveonettes, Time Machine, and The Deadly Deaths. The animation styles are similarly varied, taking in claymation, hand-drawn cartoons, and CGI effects.

Browsers can access video controls by hovering over the player. Links beneath the player allow fans to add it to a personal website or playlist, share it with friends or a social network, or flag it for offensive content.

Text underneath the video player gives some biographical information about the band and the album from which the music video comes from.

Users can navigate to other episodes in the series by clicking the images beneath the player. Each episode is filmed in high-definition video, to ensure the quality is excellent even when viewing in full-screen mode.

Animated Music Videos are free to watch. However, fans can enjoy extra privileges by signing up for a free Crackle account. This allows users to create a profile page and save and comment on their favorite videos. This profile automatically keeps track of the last 300 videos viewed.
