Experimental Animation

Experimental Animation is a collection of animated videos that push the boundaries. They are hosted by the American entertainment website, Crackle.

These videos are experimental in their animation techniques and their themes. They often tend to explore darker subjects than mainstream children’s cartoons. Some show a return to traditional hand-drawn animation, while others experiment with computer graphics and photo collages.

The videos in the Experimental Animation channel are short, with most running under five minutes.

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 information about each animated short.

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.

Experimental Animation 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.

Parental guidance is recommended as Experimental Animation videos contain some adult themes and violent scenes.
