Animation in videos be it small or big

Back in the days i used to love to watch different music-shows on MTV like Headbanger's Ball, YO! MTV Raps and a dutch music channel where you could just text through the number of your favorite song by phone and it would get played within 5 minutes.
That channel was a good feeding ground for the latest videos and the ones that always stuck to me were the ones where some animation was involved.
I'm not on a quest here, just want to show you what i dug/dig :)

First up is Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, always was intrigued by the whole stopmotion and how much time it would've cost to create it:


Tool 'Sober' was always playing on Headbanger's Ball and every time i saw it it gave me the creeps but i kept watching anyway because i was intrigued. I think that is what Tool also is , creepy yet intriguing.


Sick of It All 'District', i remember seeing that one late at night in a dimly lit room and it exploded from the screen. You always see hardcore-bands doing tough-looking videos but SOIA upped the ante to do an animated video which sets them apart. And to this day i still love them for doing something else than the rest.


Company Flow 'End to End Burners' with the flying tags which blew me away when i saw it for the first time. It always makes me grab some markers and tag the sh*t out of everything haha


Also can't forget Gorillaz with 'Clint Eastwood'. Such an awesome animation by the hands of Jamie Hewlett. Still love it!


There are more out there but these ones are the first to pop into my memory.
If i think of more i'll definitely post them :)
