In Videos: Cupcake Falls in Love with Squash in 'Sweet Dreams' (Stop-Motion Animation)
What happens when a cupcake goes on a journey away from its world of candies and sweets—on a boat made of sugar cubes, naturally—and accidentally ends up an unknown land of naked fruits and vegetables? It learns some non-water soluble architectural tricks and falls in love with a squash. From animator and illustrator Kirsten Lepore comes Sweet Dreams, a 10-minute stop-motion animated film that captures a snippet of this adventurous cupcake's life. Don't miss the the great background music and the mostly food-based sets. Watch the video after the jump....In Videos: Pingu Makes Pancakes
Your favorite unintelligible animated penguin Pingu might be inept at making pancakes, but at least he looks really cute while doing it. Watch this video to learn what not to do while making pancakes. That is, do not hurl them towards the wall or the ceiling. Watch the video after the jump....PES's Pretzel and Candy Corn Fireplace
When you're not using your computer, warm up your monitor with this awesome pretzel and candy corn fireplace screensaver by stop-motion film maker Pes. You can also buy a DVD so you can play it on your TV. This would have been more appropriate for Christmas, but with the snow that's hitting parts of the U.S., let it heat up your spirits now.

Aw, it's a town populated by pickles singing pickle-themed songs, walking their pickle dogs, throwing snowballs, and ice skating without a care in the world. What could possibly go wrong in such a wholesome, picture-perfect—HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT IS THAT GIANT HAND DOING? Run, little pickles, run! Watch the video after the jump....New Wallace and Gromit Short Film, 'A Matter of Loaf and Death'
Wallace and Gromit, our favorite clay-modeled inventor and his beagle, take a break from cheese enthusiasm to become baking entrepreneurs. The thirty-minute short film A Matter of Loaf and Death will debut on BBC ONE in December, and be released on DVD next year. Business is booming at their "Top Bun" bakery—where facilities include robotic kneading arms—until a cereal killer gets loose. Gromit is nervous (but can only make petrified facial expressions since he lacks an actual mouth for talking) while the endearingly absent-minded Wallace is in la-la land, pining for Piella Bakewell, a former Bake-O-Lite bread commercial star. This is the duo's first showing since the Oscar-winning film The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit in 2005. [via Kottke]...In Videos: Stop Motion Turkeys Eat Pumpkin Pie
When humans leave the room, and the turkey decorations are left alone in the kitchen, they can't help themselves. They must attack the pumpkin pie. While squawking with joy, their little paper bodies try to digest. Holiday centerpieces seem so harmless and inanimate, but key word: seem. The poor cat—the more likely pie attacker—will probably get all the blame. The video, after the jump....In Videos: 'Western Spaghetti' by Pes (Stop-Motion Animation)
How would you "cook" spaghetti with tomato sauce using nonfood ingredients? Amazing stop-motion artist Pes (Adam Pesapane) shows us how in his short film Western Spaghetti, which uses inedible items, including Rubik's cube "garlic," pick-up sticks "spaghetti," and Post-it note "butter." Watch the video after the jump....In Videos: Mille Crêpes A La Norvégienne (Stop-Motion Animation)
If a cooking show done completely using stop-motion animation doesn't already exist, it should. This video shows the making of mille crêpes á la norvégienne, a stack of savory crepes sandwiched with goat cheese, smoked salmon and chives, without human interference. If only food could prepare itself in real life...actually, that might be freaky. Watch the video, after the jump....In Videos: 'Gumdrops' (Stop Motion Animation)
Watching this short gumdrops-centric stop motion film by filmmaker/musician Skizz Cyzyk makes me want to eat a big bucket of candy. (And be sure your sound is on; the music is also great.) Watch the choreographed candy, after the jump....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
