If Henry Darger Had A YouTube Account

This animation (via Gorilla Mask) was made in the style of children's books from the '50s and '60s, and I don't want to say that it's "like those books but on crack," because that's a lame thing to say, but I will say that the person who made the animation may or may not have been smoking crack.

It's so weird when YouTube videos border on art. If I wanted to use the internet to broaden my horizons, I would read a website with words. There isn't even one trampoline accident in this whole video, like, what?

Wow. That's the kind of thing that makes my insides hurt, knowing I'll never make anything that cool.

Whats up dyslexia- I thought you said 'Harvey Danger'. That might have been different- or not.

I'm sorry - did you say "bordering" on art?
Also, I clicked the video to see what the title of the short was (It's called "idol" if anyone cares), and the first related video that shows up is "The Best of Polish Idol" which I am now very tempted to watch.
