Lovestruck | Simon's Cat

Valentine's Cartoons | The BEST of Cartoon Box

Frame Order presents this compilation of their animated sketches with a valentine's flavour.  Witches, werewolves, invisible men, superheroes and giant gorillas need love too, in this anarchic collection of cartoons. Soppy it certainly ain't.

Valentine's Transformers

PICK OF THE WEEK ★ What if the Transformers were more lovers than fighters? That's the bizarre vision in this hilarious AOK parody, where the Lovebots try to woo the Romanticons. But will the dastardly Sexticons seduce the Lovebots instead?

Part One

Part Two

The Song Of The Rain

This short from China's Hezomon Animation, starts off as a sweet romance (that pays tribute to a moment in My Neighbour Totoro) before taking a very different and much darker turn in its latter portion. Hezomon say the film is based on a true story that happened in China 80 years ago. It's a beautifully made, emotionally affecting piece of work.
